Biddy Early 14-1-37
Once upon a time she was in service in Limerick and there was a small child in the house.One day all of them were gone out and Biddy Early was gone for water. When she was coming back she heard music in the house and she stole in.
When she came in the door the child was siting on the cradle playing the fiddle.He said he would give her a bottle if she did not tell the people of the house ,and it would be very useful to her and she promised she would never tell anyone and so he gave her the bottle.
