CORRECTED.
It was to a school in a wild part of Ireland that the fates sent Kitty Marlowe to be the only teacher.
On her arrival she decided to see how far the children had got in the art of writing. She therefore asked each child to write his name on a sheet of paper and bring the result to her.
All went surprisingly well, and Kitty was beginning to congratulate herself, when one wild and woolly boy came up with a paper in which he had written "Norah Plunket."
"But why do you sign yourself 'Norah'? That's a girl's name, you know," she said.
"Ah, no miss! It's yourself that's mistaken. Sure, it's the name of the famous Irishman who built the Ark so it is!"
