“Once upon a time there lived an man and woman and their little daughter...”
(continued from previous page)Bridie to call her Father to the Dinner. She had to pass by the fort when going to call her father.
When she was coming back with her Father she said to him just as they were passing the fort "Please Daddy may I go into the fort for one minute". The father replied "Yes darling". She went in but she never came out again. All he could hear was "Good bye daddy" Every year at a certain (y) date the little girl is seen and the words are heard "Please daddy may I go in for a minute" and then she goes in and the words are heard "Good bye daddy" and then she disappears. She was supposed to be taken with the fairies and is now supposed to be queen.
