In Upper Rosses Point, Mrs. J. Conway told me this about the ‘gentry’: ‘John Conway, my husband, who was a pilot by profession, in watching for in-coming ships used to go up on the high hill among the Fairy Hills; and there he often saw the gentry going down the hill to the strand. One night in particular he recognized them as men and women of the gentry and they were as big as any living people. It was late at night about forty years ago.’ Evans-Wentz 66-67
