Do you not know I am your uncle Kühleborn, who brought you to this region, and that I am here to protect you from goblins and sprites? So let me quietly accompany you." "We are near the end of the forest, and shall not need you further," was her rejoinder.
When the Doctor had pocketed the money, he told Hok Lee to go on the first night of the full moon to a certain wood and there to watch by a particular tree. After a time he would see the dwarfs and little sprites who live underground come out to dance. When they saw him they would be sure to make him dance too. 'And mind you dance your very best, added the doctor.
"We must make all the world beautiful for to-morrow morning," said Ole-Luk-Oie, "for it will be a holiday, it is Sunday. I must now go to the church steeple and see if the little sprites who live there have polished the bells, so that they may sound sweetly.
The dormitory of some nuns was haunted by a spectre who moaned, tramped noisily around, dragged the sisters out of bed by the feet, and even tickled them nearly to death!

This one at last made a choice that people would at one time have thought impossible; for she was very pleased and happy in marrying an ugly cripple. When the Great Mogul held empire, there were certain little sprites who used to undertake all sorts of tasks helpful to mankind.
It has long been traditional, he says, that one of these good-natured goblins is attached to the Tibbets family, and came with, them when they moved into this part of the country; for it is one of the peculiarities of these household sprites, that they attach themselves to the fortunes of certain families, and follow them in all their removals.

What he beheld was a vast array of demons and goblins and sprites, and in a rose-bush the princess, his wife, shining like a star, surrounded by her attendant fairies. She stretched forth her arms to him. "Husband mine," she pleaded, "I have come to implore thee to return to the land of Ergetz with me.
I used to wonder sometimes he glanced up rather searchingly at his companion a moment whether the people who took the Manor House after your family left did not encounter them sometimes upon the lawn or among the shrubberies in the dusk those sprites of yours. Eh? He passed a neatly pared walnut across the table to his guest.
