English Fairy Tales

aught that's not perishable, goes away at once. So they made a cloak of Lincoln green, with a hood to it, and put it by the hearth and watched. They saw the Brownie come up, and seeing the hood and cloak, put them on and frisk about, dancing on one leg and saying:

"I've taken your cloak, I've taken your hood;
The Cauld Lad of Hilton will do no more good."

And with that it vanished, and was never seen or heard of afterwards.
