Summary

Father Ronald and his mother stayed in Bornish. The old lady died, but the priest's housekeeper continued to see her when she went out milking. She told the priest, who did not believe her and threatened to put her out of the church. The housekeeper decided she would have to speak to the ghost. The ghost promised to come to the kitchen that night, and asked her to get the priest. She came as promised at nine o'clock, and the housekeeper got the priest. He got his stole and prayer-book [or bible] and entered and blessed his mother. The housekeeper left, and whatever the ghost told the priest, she was never seen again.
