Now her father had never had any other child, and his wife had died; so he was all alone in the world and sate moping and miserable. When the young lord came in he hardly looked up, till he saw a chair close up to him, and asked him: "Pray, sir, had you not once a young daughter whom you would never see or own?" The old gentleman said: "It is true; I am a hardened sinner. But I would give all my worldly goods if I could but see her once before I die." Then the young lord told him what had happened to Catskin, and took him to the inn, and brought his father-in-law to his own castle, where they lived happy ever afterwards. Stupid's Cries There was once a little boy, and his mother sent him to buy a sheep's head and pluck; afraid he should forget it, the lad kept saying all the way along: "Sheep's head and pluck! Sheep's head and pluck!" Trudging along, he came to a stile; but in getting over he fell and hurt himself, and beginning to blubber, forgot what he was sent for. So he stood a little while to consider: at last he thought he recollected it, and began to repeat: "Liver and lights and gall and all! Liver and lights and gall and all!" Away he went again, and came to where a man had a pain in his liver, bawling out: "Liver and lights and gall and all! Liver and lights and gall and all!" Whereon the man laid hold of him and beat him, bidding him say: "Pray God send no more! Pray God send no more!" The youngster strode along, uttering these words, till he reached a field where a hind was sowing wheat: "Pray God send no more! Pray God send no more!" This was all his cry. So the sower began to thrash him, and charged him to repeat: "Pray God send plenty more! Pray God send plenty more!" Off the child scampered with these words in his mouth till he reached a churchyard and met a funeral, but he went on with his: "Pray God send plenty more! Pray God send plenty more!" The chief mourner seized and punished him, and bade him repeat: "Pray God send the soul to heaven! Pray God send the soul to heaven!" Away went the boy, and met a dog and a cat going to be hung, but his cry rang out: "Pray God send the soul to heaven! Pray God send the soul to heaven!" The good folk nearly were furious, seized and struck him, charging him to say: "A dog and a cat agoing to be hung! A dog and a cat agoing to be hung!" This the poor fellow did, till he overtook a man and a woman going to be married. "Oh! oh!" he shouted: "A dog and a cat agoing to be hung! A dog and a cat agoing to be hung!" The man was enraged, as we may well think, gave him many a thump, and ordered him to repeat: "I wish you much joy! I wish you much joy!" This he did, jogging along, till he came to two labourers who had fallen into a ditch. The lad kept bawling out: "I wish you much joy! I wish you much joy!"
