Hannah went close to the girl and touched her on her arm.

"What about your promise to Andy Neil?" she asked.

"My promise to Andy Neil," said Nora, starting and turning pale.
"How do you know about it?"

"A little bird told me," replied Hannah. "This is what it said:
'Find out if Miss Nora, the bonniest and handsomest young lady in
the place, has kept her word to Andy.' Have you done it, Miss Nora?
for it's word I have got to take the crayther, and this very night,
too."

"Where?" said Nora. "Where are you going to meet him?"

"In the haunted glen, just by the Druid's Stone," replied the woman.

"At what hour?"

"Tin o'clock, deary. Aw, glory be to God! it's just when the clock

"I have no message," said Nora.

"Are you sure, Miss Nora?"
