Where do you want to go.
Come in. Pull up a chair.
Them days you sent a youngster up the road to say there was a game on. Now you send the code, and if a chair's still empty when you deal, one of the regulars takes it.
Well, Sunday after Mass we'd walk it. Start at the gate and go down, and every house along here I'll tell you who's in it.
Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.

Them days the hall had a dance Saturday and the kitchen had music the rest of the week. It's still playing. Come in and listen.
He said, you know the one about the light on the water. I said, I do. That's a story, mind, and I'll tell you which parts.
A home-made anchor: stones held in a frame of sticks.
Made of a heavy stone caged in bent withes or longers and used to moor small boats and nets. The killick is on the Newfoundland coat of arms of the fishery in spirit if not in law, and the word is on flags, bands and boats.
A killick over the side and the boat riding to it in the tickle all summer.
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
