- One day there was a woman in the house alone. After a while her nephew came in. He went over to the table to knock the tobacco out of his pipe. He told the woman to light a paper for his pipe. He was looking out the window then and what came out over the stile that was in the front of the house but a very small woman. He ran out to see where she would go but as quickly as one would clap his hands she ran up the boithrin nad disappeared. No one ever saw her after that.
