    man of the house opened the door and he saw the fairies passing the house. Some of the fairies were friends of the man that were dead and gone with years. All the fairies went in to Harvey's fort, and they began singing and dancing and inside in the fort. One of the men had a fiddle and he began to play a tune the fairies were playing One of the fairies came out of the fort and told the man that if he played that tune again he would kill him and the man ran home as fast as he could.
