The wishes he made in haste seem unusual but in time they will be used to his benefit when he meets the devil who has come to take him away, Patrick Cassidy makes a deal with the devil that he will go along willingly with him in seven years time if he gives him fifty thousand pounds. The Devil agrees and Patrick Cassidy and his wife are bestowed with the money.
