    round & round & as he went to a gap to see had the dog the hare there he saw a small little dwarfed woman & the hair stood in his head. The hound was terrified & hid in against him & Batt couldn't take his eyes of her with fright. He hadn't far to go home but he was not able to rip his laces or speak with terror. He kept this silent for years but it leaked out & he acknowledges that he nearly died with fright.
