An Old Story
“A woman, who had been a long time away from her home, was coming back for a holiday.”
A woman, who had been a long time away from her home, was coming back for a holiday. She arrived at Ballina station which is about two miles north of Rehins school. The night was very dark when she set off home.
She came near a bridge which is on the border of Ballina and Backs, and turned to the right above the bridge. On her way back that road she met a friend, and he walked back with her to the door of her house.
