Note 1 — The Piskey-Purse

The children often sat on the hedge of their cottage to watch the Piskeys dancing, and, as the hedge was in view of Pentire Glaze cliffs, they could hear the Piskeys laughing, which they did so heartily that sometimes Gerna and Gelert could not help laughing too. They could also see their lights—Piskey-lights they called them—flashing on the turf until they sometimes wondered if a hundred little dinky1-fires were burning there.
