  1. About eighty years ago there lived the fifth Marquis of Waterford. One day he was hunting and there were many guests at the meet. He invited them all to Curraghmore House for dinner. He himself never touched the dinner. He took only a cup of coffee. After a while he went out and never returned. The next morning he was found on the bank of the Clodagh. Some of the guests suspected there was poison in the coffee and were not surprised when they heard that he had been found dead.
