Her father and brothers objected strongly to the interview, but they yielded, afraid that a refusal might induce hysteria and worse things.
Upon Tuesday, November 13th, 1666, Corporal George Deanes and three other soldiers set upon an old man in the clachan of Dalry and demanded the payment of his fines. On the old man's refusing to pay, they forced a large party of his neighbours to go with them and thresh his corn.
