Sean goes to confession, and after the opening exchange, he says, 'I've done a turrible thing, Father. I've committed adultery. I beg of ye to grant me absolution.'
The priest responds, 'I can't be after absolving you until you make a clean breast of your sin. Who was the woman?'
'Ah, I can tell ye that, Father. It would destroy her if I told.'
'Was it Mrs. McGuinness, the butcher's wife?'
'No, Father. Please don't ask me to tell.'
'Then it might have been Mrs. Crowdy, who works at the bank?
'It wasn't her, Father. Will ye not give me the penance and absolve me of this awful sin?'
'I am truly sorry, my son, but I cannot. I suggest you go home and reflect on what you've done. Come back when you're ready to confess fully.'
Sean leaves the church to find his friend Danny waiting for him.
'Well,' says Danny, 'Did you get forgiven?'
'No, but I got a couple of very promising leads.'
