So the man with the black cloak went and stood in the middle of the grave yard The man with the chain on his foot began to walk round the grave-yard the with the white sheet around began to walk after him when the man with the chain on his foot saw the white man after him he began to run. When the man with the white sheet on him heard the chain he began to run and when the man with the black heard the charm he began to run the three met at the gate and they fell. So they did not go to the girl any more
