An' faix, yez have thrated us well, an' begorra, we would have axed yer consint, if we had dramed we could have got ut!" he concluded ingenuously. The two Indians gazed at him with a surprise so evident that a chill ran through his every nerve. "We will never reveal the secret, the place of the gold," declared L'Épine.

"Well, but Fardorougha acushla, now hear me, throth it's thruth and sinse what you say; but still, avourneen, listen; now set in case that the Bodagh and his wife don't consint to their marriage, or to do anything for them, won't you take them a farm and stock it bravely? Think of poor Connor, the darlin' fine fellow that he is.

But tell her, Raowl, that I won't buy a pig in a poke: they must first let me off from the hangin', de ye hear? tell her that." "I say, Raowl, does she consint?" "She hasn't made up her mind yet." "By the holy vistment! thin it's all up wid Murt. The saints won't save him. Take another dhrap, Raowl!"
"No, slur; she was willin' enough to come; but her fadher wouldn't consint, and so we made off wit' ourselves." This was a topic on which the squire, for obvious reasons, did not like to press him.
