she blessed the fluttering bird, and brought it into her hand.
Nine robbers she blessed : they reddened their arms™ (as they
thought) from a pool of blood :
the man on whom they cast them was killed (in their opinion) ; (in
reality) no hurt was found to him therein.

A certain leper came to her to beg something of her, and 10 she gave him the chain unknown to the girls, who wept when they knew. She said to them : 'What equivalent would ye seek for it?' 'We should be pleased,' said they, ' to have yonder bird, for it is beautiful.' Brigit blessed the bird, and it became tame from hand to hand. And so the name of the place in which this miracle took place is ' The Land of the 25 Bird ' from that time forth ' P"»
