312 THE BOOK OF ARRAN 'S mairg a chaill a chomh-aois bliadhna 'n ^ Earraich ghr^inde. Pity on one who lost his co-equal in age in the year of the ill- favoured spring. Samhuinn ghiobach,^ 's Bealltuinn Idm A rough Hallowe'en and a bare May-day. MOTHER, MOTHER, THE BANNOCK 'S BURNING ^ A girl's game played in Arran. Any number take part, and the most womanly is generally chosen to be ' mother.' A house is made by enclosing a space with lines of small stones, and the mother orders another of the girls to remain in charge of it, while she herself and the others retire to some little distance. When they are sufficiently far away the housekeeper shouts, ' Mother, mother, the bannock 's burning.' The mother answers, ' Take the spoon and turn it.' ' The spoon is broken.' ' Take the knife.' ' The knife is broken.' ' Take the fork.' ' The fork is broken ; everything in the house is broken.' On hearing this the mother and all the rest rush for the house, and the one last to reach it becomes housekeeper for another game. It was considered unlucky to let the peat fire go out or to give a kindling to any person who borrowed the same. But one woman in particular seemed to brave whatever consequences might come, as she gave rekindlings to all and sundry who might come her way, thus being a fire merchant in her own way, and a public benefactress to her more superstitious neighbours. It was considered unlucky to borrow salt from a neighbour during Christmas week. It was considered unlucky to spill salt ; if you did so a quantity thrown over the left shoulder was an antidote for the evil that might come. It was considered unlucky for a hare to cross your path, and cases have been known where the person had this misfortune happen to him to go a long way out of his intended course to avoid this. ' The saying points to a spring of unusual seventy— probably the plague. 2 Said of those who were not careful of their fodder in early winter. 3 Folklore, vol. xvii. (1906), p. 103.
FOLK LORE 313 It was, until very recently, considered unlucky to meet some people when going upon a journey, or about some pursuits. Fishermen frequently turned home again if they met people of a dark complexion, or possessors of flat feet, and sometimes those of certain surnames. To follow their calling, they said, would not only yield them no luck, but might endanger their lives. vol-. II, 3 R
