Seeing Fairies in Madron
Cornish Fairy Folktale

A K Hamilton Jenkin quotes an early eighteenth century manuscript entitled The Dutchess of Cornwall's Progress in which a lady from Madron regularly saw and conversed with fairy:

In Madern (Madron) parish a good woman of discretion hath told be of certain, that sitting up late in her father's house she often sawe fairies (neat little creatures) who familiarly talked with her, and gave away many groats until she betrayed this converse against their charges and order.

(Jenkin, Cornwall and Its People, page 279); quoting Bodleian Library, Lhuyd MS., 10, 714.

You may notice that this lady enjoyed seeing and talking with the fairy until she told other humans, against the express wishes of the fairy.
