- (continued from previous page)She was dressed in black and wearing a hooded cloak. The man went over to her and said "Is this the right road to Bantry?" He was only joking her because he knew that it was the right road.
The woman didn't answer him but she gave him an angry look. She took a bunch of quills from under her cloak and beat him with them. She kept beating him until he fell dazed on the road. When he got up from the road it was morning and he went at once and told a priest what had happened to him. The priest said to him that he had no right to ask the woman the right road to Bantry because she knew he was joking her. He also said that the woman was doing her penance near that gate.
