AWK, I thought all the world far and near had heared o. King O'Toole. Well, well, but the darkness of mankind is untellable. Well, sir, you must know as you didn't hear it afore, that there was a king called King O'Toole, who was a fine old king in the old ancient times long ago. And it was he that owned the churches in the early days.
The King, you see, was the right sort. He was the real boy, and loved sport as he loved his life, and hunting in particular. And from the rising o the sun, up he got, and away he went over the mountains after the deer and fine times they were, king O'Toole and his goose.

Says he. Prince and plenty penitentiary of these parts, says he. But how came me to know that? Says he, but how came me to know that? Says he.
Oh, never mind, says St. Kevin. You see, it was Saint Kevin sure enough, the saint himself in disguise, and nobody else. Oh, never mind, says he, I know more than that. May I make bold to ask, how is your goose?
King O'Toole? Says he, blur and agers. How came me to know about my goose? Says the king. Oh, no matter, I was given to understand it, says St.
