  1. One night a woman was coming home from a town. She met "Pettycoat-Lewis" on her way, she had a bag on her back. She asked the woman to bring the bag for her, she was not able to lift it.
    She opened it to try what was in it and it was empty. She asked Pettycoat-Lewis what was in it, and she said it was heavy on account of her sins.
