- The same Ned Lastly called in to George Emerson, a carpenter, to order a coffin for his wife.
"Ah!" said Emerson "I am very sorry is the poor women dead"?
"She is not" said Ned "But I want to have it ready, as she can't last much longer." - On another occasion Ned was going home from the town with a new spade under his arm.
On his way he passed a gate at which he saw a man standing.
"Goodnight" said Ned, but got no answer.
"Goodnight" said he again. But still got no answer.
"Wll take that" said Ned making a blow at him with the spade to find it was not a man but a big, white stone, which broke the spade in bits.
