Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of J. P. Curran His father´s position threw him into contact with high and low, informed him of the ways of all the people in the country, and must have sharpened his sagacity. There were in these days, too, more marked customs than there are now. Thrice in the autumn, and once in the summer, in came cattle and pigs, horse-dealers and frieze-dealers, cheese and hens, match-makers and pedlars, to the fair of Newmarket, and Curran got his toys and his share of the bustle and life with the rest. He was an early attendant at dances and wakes, and there he might gloat over traditions about the unfinished palace of Kanturk, and the hapless love of Catharine Ny Cormick; he might hear the old strollers and rapparees tell of William´s wars; and the piper blew his merry jigs by the wild notes to which Alister M´Donnell marched to battle at Knocknanois, and the wilder ones with which the women mourned over his corpse.
