He let down the men and turned to come to Birr as he was coming by a lovely part of the road known as Portland, a tall man dress in black came along and sat on the seat near the driver, neither spoke a word and after a mile or a mile and a half the person in black gave a deep sigh or groan and vanished immediately into the road. He often travelled the same road after that late in the night and always the same dark man came and sat on the driver's seat and always vanished the same way at a certain part of the road.
