    (continued from previous page)
    On the journey the horse slipped and they fell out of the car, the man said "Bad luck to you Biddy Early wherever you live" after a while they got up on the car and continued their journey. The man's name was Tom and when the reached the house Biddy Early said "Tom who sent for you and why did you curse me? Well I will do nothing for you or your wife so you can go as you came."
    When people spoke of her no matter how far away they lived she knew what they were saying.
