jamie-freel-and-the-young-lady | these articles of attire had long been ready for a certain triste ceremony , in which she would some day fill the chief part , and only saw the light occasionally when they were hung out to air . she was willing to give even these to the fair trembling visitor , who was turning in dumb sorrow and wonder from her to jamie , and from jamie back to her . the poor girl suffered herself to be dressed , and then sat down on a " creepie " in the chimney corner and buried her face in her hands . " what 'll we do to keep up a lady like you ? " cried the old woman . " i 'll work for you both , mother , " replied the son . " an ' how could a lady live on we'er poor diet ? " she repeated . " i 'll work for her , " was all jamie 's answer . he kept his word . the young lady was very sad for a long time , and tears stole down her cheeks many an evening , while the old woman span by the fire and jamie made salmon nets , an accomplishment acquired by him in hopes of adding to the comfort of their guest . but she was always gentle , and tried to smile when she perceived them looking at her . by degrees she adapted herself to their ways and mode of life . it was not very long before she began to feed the pig , mash potatoes and meal for the fowls , and knit blue worsted socks . so a year passed and halloween came round again .

jamie-freel-and-the-young-lady | in like manner was jamie informed as they passed over each town on the route , and at length he heard the silvery voices cry , " dublin ! dublin ! " it was no mean dwelling that was to be honoured by the fairy visit , but one of the finest houses in stephen 's green . the troop dismounted near a window , and jamie saw a beautiful face on a pillow in a splendid bed . he saw the young lady lifted and carried away , while the stick which was dropped in her place on the bed took her exact form . the lady was placed before one rider and carried a short way , then given another , and the names of the towns were cried as before . they were approaching home . jamie heard " rathmullan , " " milford , " " tamney , " and then he knew they were near his own house . " you 've all had your turn at carrying the young lady , " said he . " why would n't i get her for a wee piece ?

" jamie freel ! jamie freel ! is that the way you treat us ? " cried they , and they , too , dropped down near the door . jamie held fast , though he knew not what he was holding , for the little folk turned the lady into all sorts of strange shapes . at one moment she was a black dog , barking and trying to bite . at another a glowing bar of iron , which yet had no heat ; then again a sack of wool . but still jamie held her , and the baffled elves were turning away when a tiny woman , the smallest of the party , exclaimed , " jamie freel has her awa frae us , but he sall nae hae gude of her , for i 'll make her deaf and dumb , " and she threw something over the young girl . " are you mad , jamie ? " cried his mother in terror . " sure they 'll kill you this time for what you done on them last year .

" you 're kilt , surely , this time , my poor boy , " said his mother . " no , indeed , better luck than ever this time ! " and he gave the lady three drops of the liquid that still remained at the bottom of the glass , notwithstanding his mad race over the potato field . the lady began to speak , and her first words were words of thanks to jamie . the three inmates of the cabin had so much to say to one another that , long after cock - crow , when the fairy music had quite ceased , they were talking round the fire . | hatred . | how did the wee folk feel towards jamie ? | GEM-FairytaleQA-train-4035 | how did the wee folk feel towards jamie ? | []
