    then told her he would go for her at 6 o'c that evening sreek '[?']. She got frightened & told all the people inside about it & that evening well a big crowd had gathered at her house to prevent her from being taken. She was to tell them when she saw him coming. All of a sudden she shouted that he was beside her & he had her down on the floor & was taking her from 20 of them. One man was sitting quiet up in the corner looking on when she said it to the men to let her go that it was better be taken by a fairy than to be torn to pieces. The man in the corner jumped down to where they were & let a few curses at the fairy & said he would tear the girl asunder sooner than let her go. On the minute the fairy ran away & was never seen there anymore.
