"He's a great vagabond, that Magrath, when he gets hold of a young hand, sir; and I wish with all my heart the Pretender had him, with two or three pounds of his favourite medicines with him I think, between the two, England might reap some advantage, Greenly. Now, to my notion, Wychecombe, the Blenheim would make better weather, if her masts were shortened at least two feet."
He did not know what had become of her, and the facts he had to lay before his adviser were very few. He left the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath taking snuff under a pine tree and went into the house. "God be with all here," said he as he entered. "God be with yourself, Meehawl MacMurrachu," said the Philosopher.
"I suppose Magrath told you all," said the vice-admiral, squeezing the other's hand. "He gives no hopes, Sir Gervaise, I sincerely regret to say." "I knew as much! I knew as much! And yet he is easy, Greenly! nay, even seems happy. I did feel a little hope that this absence from suffering might be a favourable omen."
We read that Owen O'Conor, an apostate, was advanced by letters patent to Killala in 1591; that Maurice O'Brien of Ara was, in 1570, by the same authority, elevated to the See of Killaloe, which he resigned in 1612; that Miler Magrath, in early life a Franciscan friar, was promoted by the Queen to the Sees of Clogher, Killala, Anchory and Lismore successively.
I find that it is a good life, much better than the one I lived for nearly sixty years, and I have time to think over every sort of thing...."

THE ability of the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath for anger was unbounded.
"Well, Magrath," said Sir Gervaise, stopping suddenly in his quarter-deck pace; "what news of the poor man?" "He is reviving, Admiral Oakes," returned the phlegmatic surgeon; "but it is like the gleaming of sunshine that streams through clouds, as the great luminary sets behind the hills " "Oh! hang your poetry, doctor; let us have nothing but plain matter-of-fact, this morning."

The Grey Woman of Dun Gortin and the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath asked them the three questions which nobody had ever been able to answer, and they were able to answer them.
He merely prayed, and that right fervently, not only for his friend, but for his humble and uncouth follower. A reaction took place in the system of the wounded man, about nine o'clock that night.

Who will gather pine cones now when the fire is going down, or call my name in the empty house, or be angry when the kettle is not boiling? Now I am desolate indeed. I have no knowledge, I have no husband, I have no more to say." "If I had anything better you should have it," said she politely to the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath. "Thank you," said the Thin Woman, "it was very nice.
"Upon my soul, you're an angel, a regular angel. I never saw a woman suit my fancy before." "Oh, behave now. Father Magrath says " "Who's he?" "The priest; no less." "Oh, confound him!"
