Tell him Lord Garty's ready to pass sintince on him for not stalin' the heart of her wid his Rule o' Three. Ha! by the holy farmer, you'll get it for stayin' from school to this hour. Be quick, abouchal!"
They accordingly passed into another room, where they remained in close conference for about a quarter of an hour, after which they re-entered in the highest spirits. "Come," said Denis, "Pether, go over, abouchal, to Andy Bradagh's for Larry Cassidy the piper fly like a swallow, Pether, an' don't come without him. Mave, achora, all's right.
"I'm not sayin' against that, Larry. He is a good-nathur'd boy: but I tell you, Larry Toole, that my daughter's his fill of a wife any day. An' I'll put this to the back o' that she's a hard-workin' girl, that ates no idle bread." "Very right," said Sam Appleton. "Phelim's a hairo, an' she's a beauty. Dang me, but they wor made for one another. Phelim, abouchal, why don't you oh, I see you are.
Half an hour I'll be clownin wid the bottle; an' don't you go, Nick, till you see me." "Phelim," said the uncle, "you know how the case is. You must aither marry the girl, or take a long voyage, abouchal. We'll have no bouncin' or palaver." "Bedad, Mick, I've great patience wid you," said Phelim, smiling: "go off, I say, both of you."
"Doesn't the gintleman identify you, you villain," replied one of the turnkeys; "an' isn't the Square's letther in your favor?" "Villain, is id!" exclaimed Phelim. "An' from a hangman's cousin, too, we're to bear this! eh? Take that, anyhow, an' maybe you'll get more when you don't expect it. Whoo! Success, Phelim! There's blood in you still, abouchal!"
You see, sir, the Agint was shot one night; an' above all nights in the year, your honor, a thief of a toothache that I had kep me" "Pether, come away, abouchal: his honor kaows as much about it as you do, Come, aroon; you know we must help to scald an' scrape the pig afore night, an' it's late now." "Bodad, sir, she's a sweet one, this."
When old Denis got the young sogarth fairly in motion, he gently drew himself out of the dispute, but continued a running comment upon the son's erudition, pointed out his good things, and occasionally resumed the posture of the controversialist to reinspirit the boy if he appeared to flag. "Dinny, abouchal, will you come up till Phadrick Murray hears you arguin' Scripthur wid myself, Dinny.
Eh, you Rosicrusian?" "Masther, sir," replied the adroit monkey, "I've a message for you, sir, i' you plase." "An' what might the message be, Masther; Pat Roach? To dine to-day wid your worthy father, abouchal?" "No, sir; it's from one o' Mr. Lanigan's boys him that belongs to the carts, sir; he wants to spake to you, sir, i' you plase."
Betther! faix, four hundhre from him is worth three times as much from another." "Glory to you, Ellish! bright an' cute for ever! Why, I'd back you for a woman' that could buy an' sell Europe, aginst the world. Now, isn't it odd that I never think of these long-headed skames?" "Ay do you, often enough, Pether; but you keep them to yourself, abouchal."
The truth is, there's something like the nodus matrimonii, or what they facetiously term the priest's gallows, dangling over my head, so that any little thrifle I may get must be kept together for that crisis, James, abouchal; so that must be my apology for not giving you more, joined to the naked fact, that I never was remarkable for a superfluity of cash under any circumstances.
