    do it" in an angry tone but the man in the chair didnt give him any heed, but in another interval old Web again replied "didnt I tell you I wouldnt do it", in another few few minutes old Web again replied "ach nothing" the man in the chair became uneasy and asked him what did he want or who was he talking to, old Web said "ach it was only the devil who was telling me to cut your throat", Mr White made for the door; some say he jumped across it and more say he brought it with him. He spread the news over the country that old Web was mad, so no men annoyed Web any more.
