    (They kept [?]) Yes she said I was crying. this day twelve months my daughter was buried. Well, now said James Duffy what would you give to see her again. I would give all I possess she said to see one sight of her, but I cannot. So James Duffy turned out on the lawn and whistled and the girl came up the lawn leading the horse. When the woman saw her she fainted. after a while she recovered and James Duffy was taken in to the house and well treated, and the girl and her parents lived very happy after.
