  1. There were two men drawing lime. One of the(m) went into a house in Haroldstown for boiling water. The other waited for some time, and his comrade did not come out. He went and told the priest in Baltinglass. The priest told him to go back with the same horses and cars, that night twelve months. He went back, and his comrade came out, he asked him what kept him. He said he was only a minute getting it.
