    If he had pulled out the knife she would have killed him before he had time to stick it it into her again. But he left the knife in her and she fell to the ground, dead. In the morning the knife was found on the road but instead of being stuck in the body it was stuck in a lump of slime. The 'cailleach' was never seen or heard of after.
