They carry the train of the Virgin, assist the Apostles, act as ushers, occasionally pass the poorbox, make wreaths and crowns but, I am sorry to say, sometimes get into unseemly scuffles for first place.

Go in and stay as long as you choose; at the door is a poorbox and if you wish to put something in you can do so a sixpence most visitors put in, or a shilling if you insist upon it. You know we are not a rich parish the wool all goes to Manchester now, and the factory-hands are on half-pay and times are scarce.

Why, wanst, whin Clancy was standin' up f'r Grogan's eighth, his son come runnin' in to tell him they was a fire in Vogel's packin' house. He dhropped th' kid at Father Kelly's feet, an' whipped off his long coat an' wint tearin' f'r th' dure, kickin' over th' poorbox an' buttin' ol' Mis' O'Neill that'd come in to say th' stations. 'Twas lucky 'twas wan iv th' Grogans.
