    “The time of the famine in Ireland the people were starving of hunger for they had no money to buy anything.”

    The time of the famine in Ireland the people were starving of hunger for they had no money to buy anything.
    Here and there you might chance on meeting a little shop. Sometimes when the people would go in for anything the shopkeeper would not have time to give it to them for they would fall dead in the shop. One family of people barred up the windows and bolted the doors and lay down to die.
