Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Son of a Peasant Constable Kerrigan, having been transferred to the town of Ballinabog, found few opportunities to rise in the Force. From his point of view, the people were criminally law-abiding. On the first market-day, anticipating some active work, he patrolled the main street.

The country folk arranged their vehicles with regularity either side of the street. If Constable Kerrigan ordered a man to shunt his cart, he was obeyed with geniality; some even went so far as to bid him "Good luck!" When he saw the rows of rough carts with a clean, broad space between, for the animals making towards the market, he felt that for a man anxious to rise in the Force he had been transferred to the wrong district. On the footways, though groups stood thick, they never failed to make way for him. When he shouted, "Are yiz goin´ to block up the path all day?"
