   The Bean Si follows a couple of families around the locality. She follows the Cullens and the Dunnes of the Hollow.
   She is a fine looking woman with grand yellow hair.
   My uncle and another man were coming home wan night and they met her and they followed her. They ran after her 'til they ran her into the eye of an ould limekiln. When they came near her she opened her mouth so wide that she frightened the life in 'em and they ran home for all they were worth.
