Games
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.

Skipper
Got a place worth the drive?
Down the road
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.
On the go
Them days the garden party was the whole summer. Here's what's on the go now, and when.
The kitchen
Well, Sunday the pot was on before Mass and the smell of it met you at the gate. Here's what was in it, and how it's done.
The hall
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.
The yarns
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.
touton
A round of bread dough fried in fat and eaten with molasses.
How it's said
Made from dough left from the week''s bread, which is why toutons belong to the morning after baking day. Fried slowly, both sides, and served hot.
Dough left over from Saturday going in the pan Sunday morning, and the molasses run over it.
Where that comes from
Not the house
No, I said, that's not the house. It was down just below there. Go back up the road.
