   The teacher asked her to say her prayers the first day in school. She said the Our Father and Hail Mary but failed in the Creed ("Tadhg didn't murder them with prayers") She was put into First Class until she'd have the Creed. That evening she got a Prayer-book and "as she was well able to read" she learned every bit of it at home that night. Next morning she went off with her Creed and twopence for her new Second Book.

   "The school wasn't then where it is now. 'Twas on the lower side of the road near the 'old chapel'" she said. Kingwilliamstown was under Dunscombe and he was a "great tall good-looking" man. Here she recited an old ballad (couldn't recall author)

   If you stand in Glencollins you'd view all its prime
   Along the Blackwater up to sweet Meenganine
   Where Diana the Goddess of Hunting resides
   In the groves that are near the bright mansion

   The mansion was the Royal Arms Hotel where Dunscombe and his friends stayed when they came fowling or fishing around the moors or along the river.
