In "Frank Martin and the Fairies," a sickly man discusses the presence of dozens of fairies inside his weaving shop.

When the young Grace Dogherty arrives on the Hanlon's doorstep asking to milk their cow, Mrs. Hanlon initially refuses her.

When Moiley stops producing milk, the Hanlon's fear that Grace has cast an evil eye on the cow, thereby threatening their livelihood.
