"No, indeed," said Jemmy, "they're all strangers to me; but I can stop in 'dhry lodgin', for it's chaper." "Well, alanna, I believe you; but I'm no stranger to you so come home wid me to-night; where you'll get a good bed, and betther thratement nor in any of their dhry lodgins. Give me your books, and I'll carry them for you. Ethen, but you have a great batch o' them entirely.

Them's the kind as kapes a man poor, eatin' their heads off, an' wan horse, or maybe two, in the stable earnin' th' oats fer them. It's chaper to cut th' t'roats av such cattle."
