 Michael James Flaherty. With the best compliments of this season. Margaret Flaherty.

Where's himself?

He's coming. (She directs letter.) To Mister Sheamus Mulroy, Wine and Spirit Dealer, Castlebar.

I didn't see him on the road.

How would you see him (licks stamp and puts it on letter) and it dark night this half hour gone by?

I stood a while outside wondering would I have a right to pass on or to walk in and see you, Pegeen Mike (comes to fire), and I could hear the cows breathing and sighing in the stillness of the air, and not a step moving any place from this gate to the bridge.
