One evening Kelly got a bad head-ache at the party and he had to go home, and he was that bad that he lay across the hearth. There was a cailleac near the fire and the hound was under it. Every minute the hound used to jump across him and he used to make awful faces like as if he was going to bite something but, the people could not see anyone or the dog.
