   She examined the doors again to see if they were well barred. She found every tool a carpenter ever had inside the door. She went into the parlour and brought out a double barrel gun. she left it on the table beside her.
   The old woman who changed herself into a man came and knocked at the door and asked to be let in to eat the meal but the girl would not let her in. Then the man made a hole in the door and stuck in his head and the girl cut it off with a hatchet. There were twelve other brothers outside and she did the same thing to them.
