    Big Antony used to go round long ago. Big Antony was a very religious man who went from place to place. He used to sleep in the houses by night and travel in the day time. He used to stay one night in every house. When he went into a school he used to look at every map and put questions on the children. Sally Quigley used to go round selling tins and gathering wool. Willy McBride used to make besoms and sell them. Máire Mhór and Jimmy Rorke used to go round long ago.
