  1. (continued from previous page)
    told one of the neighbours to go down and tell the minister that Seáinín was dead. He went down and told the minister the minister gave six pounds this time adn he told the man that he would come up in the evening and pray over them. When he came up he said he would give five pounds to any one that would tell him which of them died first. Brighdín stood up and said it was her so she got the five pounds and they were rich until they died.
