    he went away himself. The night was very dark and he saw the light before him and he thought it was master Munnelly leaving the school and he followed the light all the way and he passed disown house, until he came to a turn and the light disappeared and he got afraid. He saw a light at a distance and he went to the light and it was a shoemaker who was up late making shoes and he rapped the door and the shoemaker frightened so he left the boy at home.
