   1850, Father Poodles, The Piskies, W. Harrison Ainsworth (editor), The New Monthly Magazine and Humorist, Volume 88, Chapman & Hall, page 45, "Get out!" said the fat pisky, giving him a kick with his two-inch leg. "Don't you know, you miserable thin thing that a dumbledorry knocked over the other night, that pisky girls are five times as troublesome as mortal ones? and they are bad enough in all conscience, are they not, Master Page, eh?"

   So saying, he stepped to the door and took the path across the meadow, the pisky trotting before him, the folk of the farm following after.
