    her down the chimney,
    The tea was just being prepared for the gamblers and the fire, ashes and smoke went round the house. Then the party who were outside opened the door and rushed in. They snapped a fine sweet-cake that was for the gamblers, off the table. Then they ran out and ate it outside. They old couple were wild with rage and they never afterwards have a gamble at their house.
