Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 3 of 4 Carnmore, one of those small villages that are to be found in the outskirts of many parishes in Ireland, whose district boundaries are lost in the contiguous mountain-wastes, was situated at the foot of a deep gorge, or pass overhung by two bleak hills, from the naked sides of which the storm swept over it, without discomposing the peaceful little nook of cabins that stood below. About a furlong farther down were two or tree farm-houses, inhibited by a family named Cassidy, men of simple, inoffensive manners, and considerable wealth. They were, however, acute and wise in their generation; intelligent cattle-dealers, on whom it would have been a matter of some difficulty to impose an unsound horse, or a cow older than was intimated by her horn-rings, even when conscientiously dressed up for sale by the ingenious aid of the file or burning-iron.
