   time she would be in town she would pay it and he then disappeared. A few nights after that, she was on the same road and he appeared to her again.

   She then thought of the bill because she had not paid it. He said to her "I see you didn't do the favour I asked you." She said she had not been in town since but she would be going the next day. The next day she went to town and enquired in the shops about the bill and in one shop found that he owed a little bill which she paid.

   As she was coming home, it was dark and for the third time he appeared to her and said "Now that you have done the favour I can rest and I will not trouble you anymore." He then said to her "On your way home, you will meet a person clothed in black, but do nothing only pass it by and it won't take any notice of you, but, if you speak to it, it will do you harm." She went on her way and had not gone far, when the black figure appeared to her.
