    the priest started Mass Sean grabbed him and before the people could stir he had stabbed him to death.
    For the moment they made no effort to catch the murderer but just as he was going the flung themselves upon Sean and as they were about to throw him into a lake nearly, when a hoard of soldiers came careering towards them. The soldiers found the people and flung them into lake and that old story also says that thirty white lilies bloom every two years where the people's bodies sank.
