It was supplied by a local character, whose nickname was the Gander, who would leave the supply of tea outside the door on the understanding that he would call back for payment at a later time. Of course, the people wanted to avoid paying him if they could manage to do so. On this occasion, the man of the house arranged for a couple of neighbours to come over to help him with his hay on the day that the Gander was supposed to return for his money.<\/p>\n<p>When they saw the Gander approaching, this man sent his mother indoors, having coached her in how to deal with him. The Gander duly arrived and was sent inside to collect his money from the woman, who was alone in the house. The woman let out a screech and when the men went inside, armed with pitchforks, they found the Gander on top of her in the bed. The Gander paid them fifty pounds not to accuse him of &#8216;rape&#8217;.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scealaiocht"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1479,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/660\/revisions\/1479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
