RING IN THE BARMBRACKS
 
        This story is set at All Hallow's Eve. The Irish had
        many traditional games during these holdays: All
        Hallows and New Year's that involved fortune-telling.
 
        This game involves putting a ring into a barmbrack
        loaf--a big fluffy bread--and the girl who gets it
        will be married soon.
 
        Note Maria's response to the suggestion that she will
        get the ring.

        Why might she react that way?
