Perhaps overpowering the little girl. She knew she would have to act quickly to save the little girl. So she quickly walked over and estimated a temperature. Then she thought back to her lessons about words to push out demands and spirits. If only she had been paying attention. Then it came to her there was one that had come to mind and it was the only one. Very complicating and not very hopeful. But she would try her best.

She told Boric and his mother that only one could stay. And they decided it to be Boric. For his mother did not believe in the witch's way. But was willing to keep a secret because she was helping. Therefore she reached into her coat pocket and brought out a bag. Containing her word book, and supplies that would help her bring this child to peace. She then motioned over Boric who quickly came. She told him what she thought. He looked absolutely distressed. She then gave him a bottle and said "when I motion then you pore half of the bottle onto the child, just pore it over". "Got it"? "He looked at her and answered with a nod. Then she looked at the child and began to concentrate. She began to chant in her head "Winstron lonming come fourth withaned rustwroth". Then she waved her hand and he pored it over the child. She began to shake and he looked alarmed. She just shook her head. Then out loud she said "Be gone demand of the night, leave this child and be gone from my sight". "Winstron lonming come fourth withaned rustwroth". Over and over she said this until the room began to shake and the child cried fourth stop. But she did not for it was the demand. Then it stopped, and the child was still. They sat there and finally a great wind flustered from the room to the outside. She looked alarmed and almost immediately collected her things. By now the child had sat up, and said "thank you". Almost as though she knew what had happened and Sandra thought that she might have the gift. But of course she said nothing not now. She then said "I should go, people should have noticed that". She then left without another word.

As she walked home she walked quickly. And when she reached the house quickly went in. She hung up the coat and put the bag under the board in the floor. She then went in to the small kitchen and lighted the fire for the tea. Then she went and sat at her table. She pulled out her journal and began to write about what she had done for future teaching references. She had been sitting there for a bit when at the same time the kettle went off, and there was a knock at the door. She went in to the kitchen and turned off the tea, then walked to the door. Boric had come and said "you umm, left that bonnet of your's at our home". She smiled then said "you had me scared there for a moment". He smiled to and handed her the bonnet. She took it and invited him in for freshly made tea. He accepted and walked in. She led him in to the kitchen and poured the tea. He drank slowly, while watching her. She asked him how his sister was and he replied "she is fine, and is thanking you over and over". She then decided she must tell him about her thought.
