"So ye've had a scrap wid her, too!
But wait, it's not over with them yet.

'Tis no good prayin' again arnychists, Hinnissy.
"How much did you give away yesterday, just to be talking? There was that friend came to you for the loan of a five-pound note because his bairn was sick? Of coorse ye let him have it and told him not to think of it as a loan, syne he was in such trouble?" "Well I would have, of course, if I'd had it," he'll say, changing color a wee bit.

I'm not able to mark the ground do, avick, an' I'll offer up a pathran avy for you before I lay down my head this night, tired as I am."
