- Some years ago Johnny Fee and I were by the fire talking.An old man living near by had been robbed a short time before and the parish priest had condemned the outrage off the altar and had ordered the raiders to make restitution.Johnny remarked it wasn't enough for the priest. He should have put them on a tower and left them there invisible till the judgement day.I asked Johnny if such could be done and he said '' certainly, '' and it was often done before in olden times.That's the only time I have heard an expressed belief which had come down as traditional in the enchanted square for the belief seemed to be the same as the enchanting of Merlin in Tennyson's poem.Johnny Fee R.I.P. lived in Tullydermot, Swanlinbar
