“Connla”

Description

In Irish Gaelic; dialog; woman asks, "Who's that down there tapping the window?", "...kindling the fire?", "...drawing the blanket off me?", "...breaking down fences?". In every case the reply is "'It's I, myself', says Connla"

Notes

I haven't used the keyword "bawdy", despite the subject matter, because it isn't. - PJS
