   (continued from previous page)

   after a considerable time, the priest
   brought a sweat out in her
   forehead and the little girl improved
   everyday after. A couple of
   nights after, there was a couple
   of neighbours in and her and her brother
   were sitting around the fire when
   a brick comes down the chimney
   and broke her brother's leg.
   The same nurse's father
   need be out late at night
   playing cards and he used to come
   a short cut and one night he was
   taken by the good people and
   he was lead about the fields
   until the break of day and when
   he came home he said that the
   fairies fought to take him but
   he turned his coat inside out
   and he found himself on the road at
   daybreak.
