Love to listen to his pleasant stories of foreign lands, ghosts and tylwith teg; but before him, deem it wise to be mum, quite mum. Know what he comes about.

I only wish there were as few corpse- candles as there are Tylwith Teg, and that they did as little harm." "They foreshow people's deaths, don't they?" said I. "They do, sir; but that's not all the harm they do. They are very dangerous for anybody to meet with. If they come bump up against you when you are walking carelessly it's generally all over with you in this world.
The business that it was about was to prognosticate the death of a woman who lived near the spot, and whose husband dealt in wool poor thing! she was dead and buried in less than a fortnight. Ah, master, I wish that corpse-candles were as few and as little dangerous as the Tylwith Teg or fairies."
