   (continued from previous page)

   poor scholar travelling around the neighbourhood trying to earn his living and he happened to pass by Broon's place, and he saw the question on the pier unanswered. Now it happened that this Broon had a very ugly nose. So the Poor scholar wrote on the other pier.

   All the men between this and Naas wouldn't put a handsome nose on Broom's face.

   I got this story from my father and he heard it from a man in Enniscorthy many years ago. He thinks the man's name was John Murphy but he is not certain.
