‘For a moment, I caught a glimpse of a tiny woman with long black hair dressed in leaves. She saw me looking at her, and vanished.’ ‘She had long black hair, tanned skin, a tunic of dried leaves, and a little cap.’ ‘I could hear her walking on the leaves underfoot.’ ‘I suspect [the place had a fairy reputation]. It was associated with the tomb of King Arthur.’ ‘I just knew it was a fairy. It couldn’t have been anything else.’ ‘[Fairies are] supernatural sentient beings from earth.’
