The custom of driving cattle through or between fires on May Day or the eve of May Day persisted in Ireland down to a time within living memory. Thus Sir John Rhys was informed by a Manxman that an Irish cattle-dealer of his acquaintance used to drive his cattle through fire on May Day so as to singe them a little, since he believed that it would preserve them from harm.
She put them both away and instead brought out an ugly pattern of snuff-brown stuff, bought years before and never used. "But where is your lovely pink, Bessy?" asked the dressmaker.
