Then Angus snatched the magic wand from the witch and was about to turn her into the middle of next week when she begged for mercy and promised to give him back Grace. So she told him that the strands of her hair had tied up Grace's hunting pack and that she turned them all into stones which lay around the path.

They told the witch as they went away that she would never get another chance if she tried any any of her tricks again.
