  1. Biddy Early

    Share Share Post
    Biddy Early lived in a little mud hut in Tulla. Biddy married and had one son named John. Her father was a great violinist. One night he was invited to play the fiddle at a ball. He was brought to the ball in a coach and the man who was driving the coach told him not to take any food or drink, at the ball. The guests were forcing him to have drink, but he refused it. Then he was presented with a blue bottle by one of the guests. With this bottle he could tell your fortune. Biddy's father died and left her the bottle.
