“What is the reason that you have such grand feastings?”
She answers, “Our lady never laughs at all, and her husband has these grand feasts to make her gay.”
“If she saw what I have heard this day she would laugh most certainly.”
The servant said to her, “Stay here; I will tell her so at once.”
They call the old woman in, and she told them that she had seen an old woman leaping and bounding from one ditch to another, and saying all the time:
“Houpa, houpa, Marie Kirikitoun; nobody will remember my name.”
When this young lady heard that, she was merry at once, and writes down this name at once. She recompensed highly the old woman, and she was very happy; and when the other old woman came she knew her name.[18]
