- 9 -11- 37A Funny story.
Once upon a time there was an old lady by the name of Mary Jane Turner. She was up on a loft at her own house getting calf meal one day.
Some of the boards of the loft gave way under her, and down she fell to the kitchen. She thought she was done for and at once roared out for the priest. Old Johnny Donegan went for Fr. Byrne.
Fr Byrne was just ready going on a visit "Oh Johnny" he said, "I'd rather not have to go to her now; do you think is she very bad?." Johnny said, "She is no worse than I am your Reverence, but there's one thing certain, if you don't come at once, she will be gone to hell (shouting) by morning."
