Always after dinner when the plates were washed and put on the dresser in a few moments he had his name written on each plate. One day McNeill's sister resolved to watch the plates and while doing so she stood beside the fire.
Suddenly her clothes began to blaze. She turned round quickly to quench them and while doing so Willie Dunn had his name written on every plate again.
