    All night she remained there, and he suddenly thought of the comb. He took it off the table where it was lying, and threw it out the open window. The fairy woman got it and disappeared into the hills.
    Where the Bean Sidhe was seen there is a deep cutting in the earth called the "Split-Hills," but while she sat on one side combing her hair no person could get near her across the cutting, as she had a spell over it, and people said she would not risk having her comb stolen again.
