"Well, the word cead mile failte seemed to sthreck his heart, and the ould chap cocked his ear, and so I thought I'd give him another offer, and make him sinsible at last; and so says I, wanst more, quite slow, that he might understand, 'Parly voo frongsay, munseer?

Let the landlords see that you defy them when coming to Fair of Puck. Cead Mile Failte to the Fair of Puck. When one makes the obvious elisions, the lines are not so irregular as they look, and are always sung to a measure: yet the whole, in spite of the assonance, rhymes, and the 'colours grand and gay, seems pitifully remote from any good spirit of ballad-making.

The edges, which came down sharply from the thickness, were not overkeen, and were not meant to be so. When the thing struck, that was the end of what stood before it. "Cead mile failte!" cried Cathbarr of the Ax in a deep, rumbling voice, his white teeth flashing through his beard in a smile. "A hundred thousand welcomes to you, swordsman! Are you come to capture my lordly castle?"

"For that matther," observed the farithee, joining in the joke, "he can see as far as any of us while we're asleep." The conversation was thus proceeding, when Barney Dhal and young Frank M'Kenna entered the kitchen. In a moment all hands were extended to welcome Barney: "Millia failte ghud, Barny!" "Cead millia failte ghud, Barny!" "Oh, Barny, did you come at last? You're welcome."

The poor man starves while they are grassing their royal mountain stags or shooting peasants and phartridges in their purblind pomp of pelf and power.

A streamer bearing the legends Cead Mile Failte and Mah Ttob Melek Israel Spans the street.

"Failte abhaile! Welcome, Yellow Brian!" "So you won back before me, eh?" Brian swung down from his horse and gripped hands with old Turlough Wolf. "Get the men camped, Cathbarr, then join us." Turlough's cunning eyes rested on the wagons and weary horsemen, and he nodded approvingly as Brian told him of what had chanced.

He found no garrison, but, instead, was met by old Turlough himself, with a bandaged head and two wounded men. "Mile failte!" cried Turlough joyously, running forward to kiss Brian's hand in wild delight. "You are well come, master! Is all well down below?" "All well, old friend," laughed Brian, swinging down to clasp the old man in his arms. "Where is the Dark Master?"

But I think, if they have Highland blood in them, and if they were to hear the 'Failte Phrionsa! played on the pipes, they would recognize that language. And why were you asking about Aberdeen?" "That is not a Highland but a Scotch way of answering my question," said she, smiling.

Ere long a smoking, hot breakfast was in readiness for them, prepared by the mistress of the house, herself a comely Irishwoman, with a set of teeth that you'd almost let bite you, they were so white and sunny, and a handsome, fair face, with a cead mille failte in every line and dimple of it.
