Also how a dear old friend left Ireland (in the twenties)after a daring chase from the Black and Tans among the moonlit chimney pots of Cleggan. There were two or possibly four affects being recounted-the one now, the one then, and the ones that we had each assumed the other party had at the time and at the present. It is visual observation at the time that brought up the memories(although in the case of the dear old friend it was passed on second hand in a whisper to someone else by the gentleman's father as he himself hid around the corner of the fireplace). The number of small differences between parties-himself and myself- were scraped over by ignoring them and by accepting that then was then and that then may be used to explore and explain the now.
