The landlord was at home when they arrived, and ordered them into the parlor, where he soon made his appearance. "Well, Connell," said he, smiling, "are you come to make me a higher offer?" "Why thin no, plase your honor," replied Peter, looking for confidence to Ellish: "instead o' that, sir, Ellish here " "Never heed me, alanna; tell his honor what you've to say, out o' the face. Go an acushla."
I brought down a sup in this flask, an' while we're takin' it, we can talk over what I want." "If it be anything widin the circumference of my power, set it down, Misther Connell, as already operated upon. I'd drop a pen to no man at keepin' books by double enthry, which is the Italian method invinted by Pope Gregory the Great.

He had dismounted to creep forward and peer over, and now, half-way back to where he had left his horse, was waving his hat, with right arm extended from directly over his head down to the horizontal and to the east.

Gallagher, look to Smith, and see that every attention is paid him, until he recovers the effects of his intoxication." He then entered the parlor, where the following dialogue took place between him and Peter: "Connell, I am really grieved to hear that you have become latterly so incorrigible a drinker; I sent for you to-day, with the hope of being able to induce you to give it up."
