The gray pony behind him.

CATHLEEN
[Coming to the fire.]

What is it ails you, at all?

MAURYA
[Speaking very slowly.]

I've seen the fearfulest thing any person has seen, since the
day Bride Dara seen the dead man with the child in his arms.

CATHLEEN AND NORA
Uah.

[They crouch down in front of the old woman at the fire.]

NORA
Tell us what it is you seen.

MAURYA
I went down to the spring well, and I stood there saying a
prayer to myself. Then Bartley came along, and he riding on
the red mare with the gray pony behind him [she puts up her
hands, as if to hide something from her eyes.] The Son of God
spare us, Nora!
