Paddy knowing what they were about to do watched to see if she would sneeze and prayed that someone would say "God Bless us". And after some time the girl sneezed and no one said "God Bless us". Again she sneezed and no one said "God Bless us". Paddy knew that is she sneezed the third time and no one to say "God Bless us" they would get her. So he made up his mind to say it himself.
