Like most of the Pixie tales this story takes place after a hostile take over of the throne. Randolph Rowle was said to be in charge of smothering the prices in the tower. He beat and used his wife. She gave him seven children but none lived more than a year and their deaths were suspicious. She was happy when he left for the war although he left her nothing to survive on. That night she heard moaning outside. She thought it must be a hungry passerby so she opened the door. At first glance she thought it was a child, but soon realized it was not a typical child. This child had a face of a grown women. The Pixie told the lady that her name was Picket. The pixie asked for something to eat and the lady offered her one of her seven eggs, but when the pixie realized she had six more eggs she asked for them all. This was all the lady had to survive on until her husband returned but the pixie claimed to have six siblings who were also starving. The women gladly gave the eggs to the pixie to feed her parentless siblings. Before the pixie left with the eggs she asked the lady what would make her happy. She said to have a beautiful little girl. The pixie said where seven were given seven will be returned. When Randolph Rowle returned he discovered that his wife had given birth to seven children and all were alive and well. He was not pleased. He set out to search for the women of the evil eyed. She was his mother and she swore for the river to keep the seven that he had been given. Randolph Rowle intended to drown the children but the queen stopped him and took the children to raise them as her own, meanwhile their mother joined a convent to help the nuns.
