When on the far side of the lake they looked towards the castle and they saw the Bean sidhe sitting on a rock near the castle crying . Going home in a hurry they heard that Michael O Gready was nearly dead . Afterwards the son of the man who was dying , and another man were talking outside in the yard the bean sidhe passed out by their side again.
