“Once in our Rath in Ballinteskan a woman came out of it in white.”
Once in our rath in Ballinteskan a woman came out of it in white. She wet into a house for cutlins. She said she would bring it back that night week when she would buy her own meal.
No-body knew who she was nor nobody around had ever seen her before. Right enough that night week, she did come back, and she brought the meal with her. She did nat stay long.
