    finished the rosary and were sprinkling holy water round the house and a drop of it hit him on the face. Then he asked him why he came into the third house and he said that the man and woman were fighting and I went in to tempt them and wanted one of them to kill the other so as I could take them down to hell with me. The priest knew then that it was the devil, so he took the Holy Communion from his pocket and asked the devil what was It. The devil never answered him atall but went out the window like a flash of light.
