    and fifty people in the town.
    The most common family name is O'Brien. There are no thatched houses in Cloyne. Many people over seventy years are living in Cloyne. These people don't know Irish. They can't tell Irish stories, but they can tell many English stories. There is Mrs. King in River Street, Mrs Cahill in Spittal Street and Mrs. Kearney in Chapel Street. There are a few ruins of houses there, but the people who lived in them long ago are dead and gone.
    The land around Cloyne is hilly, but it is very good land. There are no important rivers in Cloyne but there are many streams. There are also no lakes in Cloyne, but when the bog field is flooded it looks like a lake.
