About this book
Volume III of The Works of William Carleton carries the heading Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Part II, and its contents list The Station, The Party Fight And Funeral and The Lough Derg Pilgrim. Under the heading The Station, the text asks readers to suppose the Reverend Philemy M'Guirk, parish priest of Tir-neer, to be standing upon the altar of the chapel, facing the congregation. A notice in the text says that the Stations for the following week will be held as follows, on Monday in Jack Gallagher's of Corraghnamoddagh.
The text says there is a custom, hereditary in some Irish families, of calling fathers by their Christian names, instead of by the usual appellation of father. A speaker says that Grogan was taken prisoner, with five more, on the spot. The narrator says he observed several scratch their heads, giving him at the same time significant looks of very sincere thankfulness.
