    There was an ould fellow dying in a little house...

    (continued from previous page)
    and just as I came to it they were at the Rosary inside.
    You'd always hear 'em say that you should open the windows when a person would be dying. He'd have to come out some place.
    I said to meself that I wouldn't go in while the Rosary was on, I'd wait 'til 'twas over.
    They let down the the window alright, but the lad never came out, whatever way he came out he didnt come out the window for I was standing just at it.
