    Then the lady went out of her mind, and every one she met she said to them, "They have taken away Willie Reilly. Do you know any thing about him?".
    When Willie was released he went to the castle. There he met the girl and she said to him "They have taken away Willie Reilly. Do you know any thing about him?"
    He said, "Do you see that ring, it was you that gave it to me."
    Then she came back to her senses again and they got married.
    Willie Reilly had made walks round the castle. One was called The Moss Walk; It was made this was; there was boxwood on each side and moss on the ground between them.
    He planted hedges too, which are very famous and are to be seen to this day.
