Summary
A man who caught the washerwoman.
A man caught hold of the washerwoman. It felt as if she was made of wool. He was going to take her into the light to have a proper look at her, but she begged him not to. He made her promise not to wash a shroud for any of his relatives. Sometimes she was heard at her washing, but not seen.
