    seven years in the fairies. She called this strange animal Charley. If this woman told too much about the fairies she would be black in the morning with all Charley would beat on her.
    This animal could transform itself into any thing it liked. If this woman went to visit the neighbours house and stayed too long she would say "I must go home Charley is pinching me." This animal was never seen after that woman dying.
