H -'s soda-bread, her husband told me a longish story, much the best of all I heard in Rosses. Many a poor man from Fin M'Cool to our own days has had some such adventure to tell of, for those creatures, the "good people," love to repeat themselves. At any rate the story-tellers do. "In the times when we used to travel by the canal," he said, "I was coming down from Dublin.
"Did you ever hear about one Fin M'Cool who was a great buffer in his day, and how his wife put the trick upon a big bosthoon of a giant that came down from Munster to bother Fin? Did you ever hear that, sir?" "No; neither do I wish to hear it just now." "Nor the song of Beal Derg O'Donnel, sir, nor the 'Fairy River, nor 'the Life and Adventures of Larry Dorneen's Ass, plaise your reverence."
