  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time it was a custom with people to go a long way to weddings without any invitation, and it used to be very late when they came home.
    Once there was a man in this village who was late in returning. When he was coming he saw a great multitude of soldiers coming out of the street now owned by Martin Keating and going into Tom Nestor's field. Their clothes were shining and they were all very merry. When they went into the middle of the field they started dancing and then suddenly disappeared.
