But since the young man had decided that he had to avenge himself against the counselor in every way possible, he used the other secret by which he could see others without he himself being seen by them. He entered not once but several times the rooms of the young daughters of the counselor and had repeated carnal knowledge with the three of them. But he always returned to his own room early in the morning. But the young girls told each other what had happened to them and while the game was not unpleasant, nevertheless when they told their mother about it, it was immeasurably painful to her and she revealed the disaster straightaway to her husband.

He thought that this could be a devil, and he sent for the old woman, who had cured him, and who was the lover of his daughters. Having told of his misadventure, the counselor asked her kindly that since she was able to rid him of his severe ailment, if she could also find a remedy for this new misfortune.

But after Rammo replied that if he first spoke with his daughters, they would not likely be further harassed, the counselor let them withdraw in a room with the old woman. After they related what had happened to them, he told the counselor that the spirit who had mistreated his daughters, was actually a young man who possessed a secret which allowed him to act without being seen by anyone.
