Give me you arm." "But did you see nothing, sir ?" said Barney; "didn't it become visible to you ?" "No," replied the other; "but I felt as if I was in the presence of a supernatural being, and an evil one, too." "God protect us, Mr.Harry! then, if you didn't see it I did." "You did!" replied the other, startled; "and pray what was it like ?" "Why, a black ould man, sir; and, by all accounts that ever I could hear of it, it was nothing else than the Shan-dhinne-dhuv.

For God's sake let us come home, sir, for this, if all they say be true, is unholy and cursed ground we're standin' on." "And where did it disappear ?" asked Woodward, leading him by a circuit from the spot where it had vanished.
"Just over there, sir," replied Barney, pointing to the place.

"But, in God's name, let us make for home as fast as we can.

I'll think every minute an hour till we get safe undher our own roof." "Barney," said Woodward, solemnly, "I have a request to make of you, and it is this--the common report is, that the spirit in question follows our family--I mean by my mother's side.

Now I beg, as you expect my good will and countenance, that, for my sake, and out of respect for the family in general, you will never breathe a syllable of what you have seen this night.
