Leum e air muin each eile bha anns an t- sabhal agus "start" e aig cruaidh ghalap as deidh an fheadhainn a dh'fhalbh. A dh'aindeoin na rinn e ghalap 'sa dh'fhalbh, dar a rainig e an eaglais--bha am baist- eadh seachad. Thuirt e ris an t-sagart, "Feumar an t-ainm seo bhi air a 'shein- geadh,' chan fhaod e bhith."
