    time she told them that there were two women in "Lios Lár". These two women were the first and second wives of Mr. Behan who were dead. The women were fighting about a child of one of theirs. One child was to be taken by them and they were quarrelling as to which of their children would be taken. Some time later a son of the first Mrs. Behan died. The old woman later told her that she used to be out at night with the fairies in the fort. She had to wear flannelette skirt as any other one would be torn by the bushes.
