   "I live in Clarina. There is a castle in Clarina but it is occupied at present. It was formerly owned by Lord Clarina - a family called Massey. Lord Clarina's family went to England. The land was divided some years ago. Part of the castle was burned accidentally. It is now occupied by a family called King. In years gone by there was a big wood on the Clarina estate. But when Mr. King bought the castle the wood was cut down and sold. There are only a few scattered trees there now at the edge of the domain. A little river runs through the estate. It is called the "Massey" river after Lord Clarina's family"
