'You have another fiddle there, my friend, said I 'Have you a comrade? But Willie's ears were deaf, or his attention was still busied with the tune. The female replied in his stead, 'O aye, sir troth we have a partner a gangrel body like oursells.
There stood the priest, still holding Birdalone's hand, and spake not, but looked about, yet always covertly on Birdalone; but in a while he let go her hand, and seemed to wake up, and said: This it is; a sorry place enough, were it even for a gangrel body.
