If purgatory don't do something for you, then !" "Indeed and I hope I shall fall into it on my way farther, chief!" said Craftie, who happened to be a catholic. "But now," resumed the chief, "when will you be going for the rest of your peats?" "They're sure to be on the watch for us; and there's no saying what they mightn't do another time!" was the indirect and hesitating answer.
There is furthermore a place bearing name Coia, very famous for the multitude of Abbyes which the Bonzii haue therein. The beginner and founder whereof is thought to be one Combendaxis a suttle craftie fellowe, that got the name of holinesse by cunning speech, although the lawes and ordinances he made were altogether deuillish: he is said to haue found out the Iapanish letters vsed at this day.
"He does not like me!" said Craftie. "When a woman is in trouble," said the other, "the Macruadh makes no questions. You come with me! He will be glad of something to do for you."

"She speaks the truth, Macruadh," said the other. "I will take my oath to it." "Your word is enough," replied the chief, " as Craftie knew when she brought you with her."
But for all their faire and cunning speeches, they are not ouermuch to be trusted: for they be the greatest traitors of the world, as their manifold most craftie contriued and bloody treasons, here set down at large, doe euidently proue. They be also as vnconstant as the wethercock, and most readie to take all occasions of aduantages to doe mischiefe.
One of them, a characterless creature in the eyes of her neighbours, harmless, and always in want, had faith in her chief, for she had done nothing to make her ashamed, and would go to him at once: he had always a word and a smile and a hand-shake for her, she said; the other, commonly called Craftie, was unwilling: her character did not stand high, and she feared the face of the Macruadh.
