    One day Denis Kelly steward was out on his horse riding through the country. There was a girl in a house eating potatoes. At that time the potatoes were very big so they called them the lumpers and she shouted after him "Jumper will you eat lumper". He never said a thing but when he went home he told Denis Kelly so he had the householder at the court and he said he would raise his rent then the man gave a sigh Denis Kelly said if you sigh much more your rent will be higher.
