McDONOUGH'S WIFE
Scene: A very poor room in Galway with outer and inner door. Noises of a fair outside. A Hag sitting by the fire. Another standing by outer door.
First Hag: Is there e'er a sign of McDonough to be coming?
Second Hag: There is not. There were two or three asking for him, wanting him to bring the pipes to some spree-house at the time the fair will be at an end.
First Hag: A great wonder he not to have come, and this the fair day of Galway.
