    go down the road a group of them would walk in front of it for some distance and then disappear.
    When a wedding used to be in the district they would tell Sarah "we will have to go to the wedding and burn battles of straw and she would see them leave marching one after the other and they all burning battles of straw and laughing and cheering.
