    as he thought there came another horse with a little girl on him and she said welcome father and the father nearly died with fright and she said father dont fright I am your own child that was taken with the fairies when i fell asleep in the fort and a sickly elf was left in my place. So meet me tomorrow night at twelve oclock and I will be on the first horse out on the gap. So have the besom and strike the horse with it and then quickly catch him by the reins. He will leap wild and strive to tramp on you so do not be afraid for it is only a bohaulian I am riding.
