    from Templetate Monastery were travelling to Clones. The walked in single file, led by the Abbot. When he had gone about three miles, he discovered that he had forgotten a book which he needed very much. He turned round and told the monk that was behind him to send word back for the book to be brought The message reached Templetate Monastery before the last monk had left. He got the look and it was passed along the line and reached the Abbot just as he had arrived in Clones.
