    (continued from previous page)
    was a cloister, the nuns asked the children had their parents St. Bridget's brath. Some said "yes" others "no". They told the children to ask their parents to give it to them, so they did.
    They explained to the nuns how it was done. The nuns kept them, and made Badges and scapulars of them. Then St. Bridget's night they put out the cloth themselves, out on the roof of the convent.
