   to sleep in the settle bed with the child of the first wife & a woman used to come in every night & cover them in the bed so the workman told the man of the house about it so he slept with the child the next night. When the woman came in he spoke to her & she told him that she was not dead at all so he asked her to stay but she said she would be taken again but if he met her on a certain day & took her off a white horse she could stay so he went & took her off and she lived a life & had some children.
