Story (continued)
“Once upon a time on a nice summer's day a gentleman went to hunt with three hounds...”
(continued from previous page)broke its leg twisting on the street. So the gentleman was vexed to see his two dogs killed on the street. He opened the door of the barn and he saw the black hound dead inside. There was a woman sitting at a fire. He asked her did she see a hare. She said no. He pulled her off the chair and the whole ground under the chair was covered with blood where the dog bit her; he knew then she was a witch.
