   There was a little thatched cabin out there at the corner of my garden. The signs of the walls are in it yet. There was an ould woman living there by the name of Bet Reefóg, but now she's head bottlewasher in Fiddlers' Green. In the time of '98 the North Cork Militia stopped there when they were on their way to Duncannon, and they tried to burn it. The finest girls that ever stood on four legs are around this part of the country.
