When John MacDermott was seventeen years of age and entering into his fourth year of monitorship, his Uncle William said to him, "John, boy, you're getting on to be a man now, and it's high time you began to think of what you're going to do with yourself when you are one!" "You're mebbe right," said John. "The next year'll be your last one at the monitoring, won't it?" Uncle William continued.
