"They had sense of justice enough to help me out and certainly they know love for I saw the way they looked at Lakla; and sorrow for there was no mistaking that in their faces. "No," he went on. "I hold to my own idea. They're of the Old People. The little leprechaun knew his way here, an' I'll bet it was they who sent the word. An' if the O'Keefe banshee comes here which save the mark!
What'll you be wanting " "None of your business!" roared the Phoenix. "Where is she?" The Leprechaun had begun to tremble. "Follow the path yonder through the wood until you reach the cave, Your Honor. You're not friends o' hers, are you? You'll not be telling on me? I'm real sorry for those jokes, Your Honor." The Leprechaun's fright was so genuine now that the Phoenix relented and let him go.
It was Pancho who remembered best about the leprechaun how they found him sitting cross-legged under the blackthorn-bush with a leather apron spread over his knees, and how he had called out just as Bridget had said he would: "Hello, Pancho and Susan and Sandy and all!"

'Stashie certainly did have bad luck with her cooking, as she herself frequently sadly admitted.

No one could say just how it came to be whispered that the Templars of Temple Assheton dealt in black magic.
Just then they saw a little man approaching them from the wood. He was three feet tall, dressed all in green, and had a long white beard. When he reached them he raised his cap politely and said, "Good evenin' to you." "A fine evening to you, my good Leprechaun," said the Phoenix. "Could you kindly tell us " "Will you have a cigar?" the Leprechaun interrupted.
I disguised myself as a Leprechaun and sulked; but it didn't work where you were concerned. You understood me as no one else ever could or will, I believe. You taught me something about life, and to see that people are much the same all over the world, if you "take them by the heart."
