A short story written for broadcasting by Ella MacMahon , and read by the author
Here is as weird, yet as tender, a tale as ever came out of Ireland-the story of how the son of a great Irish house was born six months after his mother's death! When cholera came in Ireland years ago it swept the country indiscriminately, and the highest and the humblest of the land were laid low. It came to a great castle in Connemara to which the young owner had recently brought his bride, and then within a few days she was buried in the family vault. What happened thereafter on a night of storm and cold, is related in the words of an old housekeeper whose grandfather as butler to the castle went to the front door to answer what he knew was his mistress's knock.
