    Next morning he gave the woman of the house a half-sovereign, and told her to keep it always and she would never be without money. But the money "burned" her till she went to the village and spent it. When she returned the little man said to her, "Well, you kept it a long time." He then went out in the direction of the Court, and was never seen again.
    Lights were supposed to be seen in the Court at night time, especially in the Springtime.
