Entry 359
You go out under a holly tree for nine Sunday mornings and whatever you wanted to be or to play, on de ninth Sunday morning de devil would come himself. On the ninth Sunday morning if you wanted to be a dancer, the devil would come himself and strike a step. But he [a man known to the informant] couldn't stand it. The pressure was too heavy. I heard him laughing about it many a time. [For holly tree, see also No. 355.]
