- People say that the fairy queen is to be seen in Mr. Walsh's Monkeens at the fourhills. A boy named Larry Rock who is now a man when going across the field saw her. He was going through the field and suddenly there appeared before him in the opposite field a beautiful girl with long golden hair. She never saw him until he was in the field. When she saw him she immediately turned into an old woman gathering a few sticks. She didn't know that he had seen her as the queen. That was the only time she had been seen in daylight but people know she lives there.
