“Do you know any old prayers?”
Musha prayers didn't trouble me very much. They used have a prayer to stop the blood though. I remember my nose was bleeding wan time and it couldn't be stopped, and an auld woman stopped it with a prayer.
I don't know what prayer she said, whether it was the Lords Prayer or The Creed or the De Prufundis, she said.- They used to have great faction fights around this part of the country long ago. It all started over a bullock. Wan crowd said he was a two year ould, an another crowd said he was a three-uear-ould, and the two crowds fought over it. After that "the two-year-ouls" and the "three-year-oulds" used to have it wherever they went.
