    appointed an hour in the evening to call for the boy. Evening came and the captain went to Séan Dá's house and asked for the boy. Seán left the house and when he returned he had a murderous face on him and a steel pike in his hand. He told the captain to leave the house or he would kill him. The captain hurried away and Séán Dá lived happy with his large family in Passage ever after.
