    "Tady the thatcher" and his sister kept house together. One day they quarrelled and Tady said he would give her to the "Good People".
    So he hoisted her on his back and went to a fort that was near by. When he drew near the fort he shouted "Gentlemen of the fort I give you up Nancy" and he heard a voice saying "Thank you Tady, bring home your lady". So he was forced to bring her home again.
