- (continued from previous page)occasion the Mother asked James
Must I keep on the bandage the child has been wearing. First he sort of assented to this. But said he after a thought. "You may not trouble, he wont need it"
Neither he did. - A young man went a-courting. He PRETENDED he had never seen a rush candle.
The old lady of the house could not get her candle to burn properly.
"Dip it in th ashes", "Maam", said the "boy" "and see will it light."
That was the usual way of coaxing them to burn.- Collector
