“Sam Hussey was a landlord.”
Sam Hussey was a landlord. At one time he said that Irish tenant farmers couldn't pay their rent, not through poverty but through dishonesty. Sam had a very crooked nose. When a local farmer heard what Sam said, he said "All the money from here to Naas couldn't straighten the nose on Sam Hussey's face".
