“Once upon a time a newly married girl was at home all alone and the family were all to Mass.”
(continued from previous page)were all to Mass. She wore a white cap that she had the previous Sunday at Mass, and she had shaken holy water on it. After half - an - hour the door was opened and a man came to have revenge because she did not marry himself. He had a rope and he was going to hang her, but he couldn't tighten the rope. Then an unseen person said to the man to take off the cap and her scapulars, and he did. Then he could tie the rope and he killed the girl.
