<h3><SPAN name="chap208"></SPAN>Legend 7 Our Lady’s Little Glass</h3>
<p>Once upon a time a waggoner’s cart which was heavily laden with wine had
stuck so fast that in spite of all that he could do, he could not get it to
move again. Then it chanced that Our Lady just happened to come by that way,
and when she perceived the poor man’s distress, she said to him, “I
am tired and thirsty, give me a glass of wine, and I will set thy cart free for
thee.” “Willingly,” answered the waggoner, “but I have
no glass in which I can give thee the wine.” Then Our Lady plucked a
little white flower with red stripes, called field bindweed, which looks very
like a glass, and gave it to the waggoner. He filled it with wine, and then Our
Lady drank it, and in the self-same instant the cart was set free, and the
waggoner could drive onwards. The little flower is still always called Our
Lady’s Little Glass.</p>
