In Dublin one day my wife suggested that we visit St. Michaels churc h. I spoke to a cabman and asked him if he knew where St. Michael's was. 'That do Oi,' he answered an-swered promptly. "Tis south two blocks, east two blocks, north two blocks an' wist wan block from here.' I didn't grab the significance of this at once and asked him what he would charge to 'drive' up to it; !Eight shil-in's,' shil-in's,' he said. -We got in and he drove us around several blocks and stopped in front of a- church"about a block from where we started, although we didn't know it then. This was bad enough, but worse was coming. He jumped down and -helped us out. and as he climbed back to his seat I asked: 'Is this St. Michael's? .'Wen, sorr,' he said, 'this be All Saints' church, an' ye'll foind St. 'Michael in there wid th' r!st av thim!'. and away he went."
