    (continued from previous page)
    "God between us and harm" When they had finished work they said The lord spare us our health, and the Lord send luck on our labour. When they lit the candles on Christmas night they said "may we live to see it again and if we are not better, that we may never be worse.
    When they drank milk they said "may the Lord spare the mother's of the milk and the people over them." When a person passed another person in the road he would say "good evening and good evening company," that ment that they saluated their Guardian Angel. When they passed a man working they said "God bless the work and the workman."
