    the money bush) The tree in on the lane near the home. She was told to go between two lights every everning. A blackish was to come with 2/6 to her. There was a stop in Sam Johnston's house then, Johnstons lived in the house then,and Kate if she had to go to the shop always tried to wait untill twilight. If she wasn't going to the shop, she used to make an eyecluse to see an old woman called Maggies Duneaw, who small from Johnston wns now.
    Kate's mather began to wonder, why she wants to go out every evening, and of course she wouldnt till. Her father said he would cut the blood out of her, if she wouldn't, so after a long time of persecution, she told her dreams, and showed the 2/6's. Even after the blackbird ceaside tocome and Kate got no more money.
