    tell Daniel to put on her Habit as she was dying. A few minutes after, she would tell him to take it off, that she was alright again, she often vexed Daniel that way.
    One Harvest day Daniel was saving his hay, when suddenly Mich ordered him for the priest for himself. His mother told him also to put on her own Habit that she was dying too. He got angry with both of them and to use Daniel's own words, he said "I caught her and I stuck it on her, and I faced her for the Jordan, saying "Come or go now". Then he said to Mick. "Do you know any other fellow wanting a Priest this day of the year but yourself" and so he remained saving his hay.
