  1. Old Houses. . . . .28 - 10 - 38
    Our house is over a hundred years old.
    Before we went to live there Mammy's aunt lived there and her mother and father also lived there.
    There is a mud floor in the kitchen and parlour, and the back wall is made of yellow mud.
    There is only one window in our kitchen but it is fairly bright inside.
    There is a half door outside the big door, which can be taken away at night. The kitchen is not ceiled, and the boards of the floor upstairs are black.
    There are three "rooms" altogether two big ones upstairs and one small one downstairs.
