The Scot could only go half-way in his but Morris started to cry for more. Altogether he ate about three plates of it. When the Scot saw this he asked the nurse what kind of a child was it but the nurse having been told by Morris what to say, told the Scot that it was Morris's son. Well said the Scot if thats Morris's son what kind is Morris. So up with him and back he went to Scotland leaving Morris still champion of Ireland.(continues on next page)
