If he watched the woman on the last horse, that would be she & if he released her from the fairies she would never trouble him again.
He got his brother-in-law with him that night, & right enough the horsemen rode past at the appointed hour, the brother-in-law snatched the woman from the last horse & so she was released from the fairies.
