'You have come late to warn us, for the danger is known to us already.
'Last night, just after dark, we had snuffed out the candles, locked the door, and were just getting into bed, when I thought I heard something moving around in little Whelan's room. Whelan is just a babe, so you can understand my worry: I thought a bird might have flown into his room through the window, which we always leave open a crack so the breeze can come in, and I did not want him to be frightened. But when I went into his room to check on him, I saw that it was not a bird at all, but a monster: a terrible, creeping thing hunched over on bony legs! It was moving towards Whelan's cradle and making a terrible noise in its throat.
'Its intent was clear -- it meant to harm my child! I let forth a cry such as you have never heard and leaped towards it; I do not know what I thought to do, but the thing sprang out the window through which it had crawled, vanishing into the night.'1/1
