I have seen their lights many a time, and nothing more; but my brother saw their faces close and opposite to him (directly _vis-a-vis_) one night.

He was going along and saw their lights, and thought it was the fire of his tent.

So he followed them, and they drew him from the road over hedges, woods, fields, and lonely marshes till they got him in the water, and then laughed out loud.
And there he saw them with his own eyes, on the opposite side, and they were little fellows, little goblins, about two feet high.

And my brother was devilish angry, and swore at them! "If I had you here, you wretched dogs! if I caught you, I'd cut your throats!" And he went home and told me all that that night.

"_Where was it_ ?" Yes, sir; that was near Blackwater.
