    • "Don't you have a dodie for her?” "Dodie?" "Ah..." Blaine hesitated. "Pacifier." "Oh! It's one of those things I haven't gotten yet. She doesn't seem to look for one."
    • "Dodie trees" are not often associated with holy wells; in fact, the young child finishing with nursing or teething can be asked to give the dodie (teether or pacifier) to the fairies by letting family members hang it on a tree.
