    asked if he could be one among them and the men said "Certainly". They were playing for a long time but all the cards seemed to be going everyway. One man dropped a card and on stooping down saw the cloven feet. When he got up he said he was going out for a drink of water. When he got out he went across for the Priest.
    The Priest came to the house with the man and he had a prayer book. The Priest began to read prayers and immediately the strange man went through the ceiling and the house was burnt to the ground.
