There was excitement in his face. His long warped body moved in a shuffle over the ground.\nFollowing him came Cahir Bowes\, the stone-breaker\, who was so beaten down from the hips forward\, that his back was horizontal as the back of an animal. His right hand held a stick which propped him up in front\, his left hand clutched his coat behind\, just above the small of the back. By these devices kept himself from toppling head over heels as he walked. Mother earth was the brow of Cahir Bowes by magnetic force\, and Cahir Bowes was resisting her fatal kiss to the last. And just now there was animation in the face he raised from its customary contemplation of the ground.\nBoth old men had the air of those who had been unexpectedly let loose. For a long time they had lurked somewhere in the shadows of life\, the world having no business for them\, and now\, suddenly\, they had been remembered and called forth to perform an office which nobody else on earth could perform. The excitement in their faces as they crossed over the stile into Cloon na Morav expressed a vehemence in their belated usefulness.\nHot on their heels came two dark\, handsome\, stoutly built men\, alike even to the cord that tied their corduroy trousers under their knees\, and\, being grave-diggers\, they carried flashing spades.\nLast of all\, and after a little delay\, a firm white hand was\, laid on the stile\, a dark figure followed\, the figure of a woman\, whose palely sad face was picturesquely\, almost dramatically\, framed in a black shawl which hung from the crown of the head. She was the widow of Mortimer Hehir\, the weaver\, and she followed the others into \nCloon na Morav\, the Meadow of the Dead. \n  \nNo prior booking for rehearsed readings.\nPatrons are advised to arrive early to avoid disappointment.\nTea and Coffee with light refreshments served.
