- There was a house on the Grange road, and one night the woman of the house went into a room for meal, and she brought no light with her.
The fairies came and took her and she was not seen for seven years. After the seven years she was left back in her own house and she was told not to go anywhere without a light after dusk. One night she went into the room and forgot the fairies command and she was taken away and was not seen any more.
