Mrs.
Buckley admired the bold, upright, handsome figure before her, and gave her a cheery "good morning." "I only stayed," said Madge, "to wish you goodbye, and thank you for your kindness.

When they who should have had some pity on me turned me out, you took me in!" "You are heartily welcome," said Mrs.Buckley.

"Cannot I do more for you?
Do you want money?
I fear you must!" "None, I thank you kindly," she replied; "that would break the spell.
Good-bye!" "Good-bye!" said Mrs.Buckley.
Madge stood in front of the door and raised her hand.
"The blessing of God," she said, "shall be upon the house of the Buckleys, and more especially upon you and your husband, and the boy that is sleeping inside.

He shall be a brave and a good man, and his wife shall be the fairest and best in the country side.

Your kine shall cover the plains until no man can number them, and your sheep shall be like the sands of the sea.
