In another instance related in east yorkshire the girl took a live frog, stuck it all over with pins, put it in a box, kept it shut for a week, after which she looked in and found that the frog was dead. She Kept it until it was consumed away to bones. Then she took out of the frog a small key shaped bone, got into the company of the young man she wanted, fastend the bone to his coat and said: I do not want to hurt this frog But my true lovers heart to turn Wishing that he no rest may find Untill he come to me and speak his mind
After this he had a weeks torture, as the frog had and then he went to her and said he had a queer sensation for a week, but he didnt know what it meant. 'however' he said ' I will mary thee but in know we shall never be happy'. They were married and lived very uncomfortabley together. (addy 1875:79)
