Janet says she knows some people who spit

Stretch in Ballymena wonders why we salute the magpie. Sean says he thinks that magpies get a bad press.

"Have you ever heard," says Stretch in Ballymena, "of the old superstition, 'saluting the magpie'?"

"Well," Sean says, "I think I have, but I've never done that."

"Can you or anyone tell me what it's all about?"

"Did you ever salute a magpie?" Sean asks the girls.

Thomasina says she does it. Janet says she knows some people who spit.

"What do you mean? Spit on the poor magpie? I think the magpie gets bad press.
