   I got terribly afraid then somehow and I ran away across the glen and when I was nearing the gate I looked back and saw the man standing on the ditch looking after me and at that moment I thought that he looked very like my dead brother. I ran again but when I was entering the gate I fainted and my mother took me home on her back. I was confined to my bed then for twelve months and the priest when he called to see me and gave me his blessing said I was very lucky to get off so light. Fr Morrissey (the priest's name) said that if the men I had followed thought I had sense I would not live.
