83 knawledge to our faithers, an* they laugh at 'e. They credit the gulping, chatterin' bogs, an* the tors, an' the grey rings o' holy stones, because theer eyes have seed 'em; but tell of the gude few braave men as have lost theer lives by ways unknawn, whose bones lie hid till Doom; tell of the pixies an' the darker spirits that was gived power against humans, then you'm flouted for your pains. Name the Black Dog, the witch hare, the evil hid in River of Dart, an' such-like, an' they'll laugh... an' tell 'e you'm outstayin' your time.
Who b'lieve in the heath-hounds now? Who hold wi' me that they hunt by day an' night, through the black winter, an' under the sunrises o' summer mamin's?
Yet my awn husband 'twas as not awnly heard, but seed wi' his eyes. An' he haven't been dead above twenty year.
Night-foundered the man was, up Rayborrow Pool way under Cosdon Beacon, after a light snaw, as comed sudden an' mazed him, as it will even the auldest moor- men, by changing of landmarks with its magic Just a faint, far-off tinkle o' sound fust he heard, no sharper'n the wind in the' dead heath; then it swelled an' gathered like to ringing of bells; an' then grawed louder an' 6* 84 THE STRIKING HOURS.
