Legendary fictions of the Irish Celts

GLOSSARY.
On looking through the work, the editor has found
some words and passages not sufficiently explicit to the
mere English reader. The deficiency is here made up.
Blue Cap, p. 246. Nickname of a woman among the old English
settlei's. Her people, ignorant of the custom just mentioned,
buried her on the men's side of the churchyard: the cofftn
was raised and set upright against the church-door in the night.
After two re-interments the Palatine family buried her on the
other side of the stream, and there she was allowed to rest.
