The sergeant readily promised to do all he could to make Dunailin pleasant for the new doctor, and to keep him from getting into mischief or trouble. Only in the matter of Lovaway's taste for Irish folk-lore and poetry the sergeant refused to promise any help. He was quite firm about this. "It wouldn't do for the police to be mixed up in that kind of work," he said.
"I've seen the like before," she said, leering up into Lovaway's face. "I've seen worse.

In his first rush to reach the stricken child he had left the sergeant behind. The sergeant was a heavy man who moved with dignity.
Flanagan approached them from behind; leaning across Lovaway's shoulders, he whispered in his ear: "There's not about the place there's not within the four seas of Ireland, one that has as much knowledge of fairies and all belonging to them as that old woman."
