I asked him to take a plant over to Miss Cott. I gave him a pint and a shilling. A few days after I met Miss Cott and asked her how she like it. She said he brought it over alright and asked her would she bury it. Tanaon an Diahailh said he " I got from Lord Bandon's gardiner.' He got five shilling from her for it. His reverence was greatly tickled and said "So glad Taylor he tricked you". He was buried in the Church yard thirty five years ago.
