   In days gone by when a mare was about to foal she was taken into the kitchen to do so. Jerh arrived at some house, and the mare was inside before him. He sat beside the foal and seemed very uncomfortable, the seat began to sway and Jerh. fell off. He struggled to get up and in a very excited manner shouted that the evil spirit could never be kept out that night. The foal was bound to go. Jerh was paid to remain until the foal arrived. He always fixed his prices for such work.
