“There were people by the name of Penrose living in Belgrove.”
(continued from previous page)asked him what was in the basket.
He told him, and the man would not believe him. The boy showed him the vestments. He caught the vestments and kicked them around the field. The boy picked up the vestments and put them into the bag, and went away. When he reached the station the priest asked him what kept him. The boy told him and the priest told him that never again would a Penrose reign in Belgrove.
Some time after that the man died. When the hearse was ready to start, the horses refused to move. The priest was sent for and he prayed over the horses who immediately began their journey.
