  1. (continued from previous page)
    this thing in only an old Carhouse with no door on it still and there was an old sow in the corner and I was afraid she would get up and destroy it. I would have to stay there and watch it. During the time they were talking his master put his finger on the string and the umbrella folded. Crampsy took three skips and out and ran home in the rain. He told his neighbours that the umbrella was like an evil spirit for as soon as his master took it in his hand it became as small as a walking stick.
