Beschrijving
Hidden Lover Buys Freedom from Discoverer. A priest makes advances to a married woman. She pretends to agree to meet him, but tells her husband.
At the rendezvous when the husband knocks on the door, the priest, who is already undressed, hides in a vat that contains tar (sirup). When he looks for a better place to hide, he finds himself in a vat of feathers. The man and his wife see him covered with tar and feathers and exhibit him as the devil (the man puts him in a crate and parades him around) [K1555.2, K1554.1].
Important people (people who come to the market) pay to see this “devil” (cf. Type 1358B). The priest often has to give all his wealth in order to ransom himself [K443.1]
