Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Conquest The old white pony, wall-eyed but sure-footed, ambled slowly down the hill. On Thursdays for twenty-two years he had borne Father Pat Daly to the market at Lisgeela. When Father Pat had controlled the pony they covered the four and a half miles from Drisheen in half an hour; but for many years the pony had taken control, and drew up at the door of the Presbytery at Lisgeela exactly an hour after Father Pat had made his sole contribution to the journey in a jerk of the reins and a "Go on, will you, Whitey!" in the yard of his house at Drisheen. At eleven they started; at half-past eleven Whitey had finished his drink at the stream by Phooca cross-roads, and Father Pat had appraised his cattle out on grass on Devoy´s farm beyond the stream; at Devoy´s farmhouse the old, crazy, open weighted dock in the kitchen, which through the week was roughly set by the sun, was corrected to the infallibly right time as Father Pat shouted, in passing, a stem "God save you all," to the open doorway; and as the Cathedral bell tolled the Angelus at twelve Whitey was licking a tired fetlock beside the kerb in front of the Lisgeela Presbytery, while Father Pat, standing on the footwalk, his white head bared and bent, said the Angelus.
