It was not long until some robbers came under the tree counting their money and the man and wife got afraid and what did the woman do but fire down the door.

- There was a woman one time and she used to be working until twelve o'clock every night and then she would disappear and go away. She used to do that every night and no one could see her, and she would not come in until they would be in bed and they would find her in the bed in the morning. This night she went out and she went in to a neighbouring woman. This woman was washing her feet before going to bed and she asked her to come a piece of the way with her.
