    There are two forges near my house. Thomas Dwyer works in one and Con Bishop in the other. One of them is situated by the side of the road and the other near the road. Con Bishop's home is about twenty miles away from the forge. Con Bishop works with a sledge, a hammer, an anvel and many other tools. Con Bishop goes home every Saturday evening about four o clock and comes back on Monday about too o clock.
