“There was a very rich gentleman one time, who lived a very bad life.”
(continued from previous page)the priest was not to be found. They searched the house inside and outside, and he was not to be (made) found. The man died and as the servants were moving things from the gentleman's room to the priest's room, they saw the priest saying his prayers. One of them said "O father, where were you?" "Why?" said the priest "What is the matter?" "The boss is dead replied the servant.
The priest said he did not leave the room that night, but the old saying is, "As you live so will you die."
