“There was more than that in it. My father had the contract of that house...”
There was more than that in it. My father had the contract of that house and I helped him build it. We found dozens of tomb-stones where we were sinking the foundations. We could read the inscriptions on some of them as fresh as the day they were put up.
That house is built on a graveyard and within a stone's throw of the lios, too. No priest ever got his health in it and some of them went queer, God bless the [heavens].
