"I'll manage it all," said Pat; "make your mind aisy and what is more, I'll not breathe a syllable to mortual man, woman, or child about it. That would be an ungrateful return for her kindness to our family. May God bless her, and grant her happiness, and that's the worst I wish her."
"No, faith, I'll not give up the whiskey, for it has one comfort, it makes me sleep in defiance o' wind and weather; it's the only friend I have left now it's my shirt its my coat my shoes and stockin's my house my blankets my coach my carriage it makes me a nobleman, a lord; but, anyhow, sure I'm as good, ay, by the mortual, and better, for amn't I one of the great Maguires of Fermanagh!
Purcel; but then, if I did, it' very likely I'd be a corpse before this day week. Sich is the state that things ha' come to; and how it'll end, God only knows. At any rate, I'll slip over afther dusk to-morrow evenin' and pay; but as you hope for mercy, and don't wish to see me taken from my wife and childre', don't breathe a syllable of it to man or mortual."

"Ellish," said he, in a tone of voice that strongly expressed what he felt, "you wor one o' the best wives that ever the Almighty gev to mortual man.
"Darby," said he, "I want you to come up to our house in the mornin', an' bring along wid you the things that you Stamp the crass upon the skin wid: I'm goin' to get the crucifix put upon me. But on the paril o' your life, don't brathe a word of it to mortual." "God enable you, avick! it's a good intintion.

I've been up half the night with them. It's spreading, too." "Sickness! what does it seem like? Just give me that jacket. Not that sleeping sickness?" "No, sir. It's not that.
"Well, but poor Frank's a harmless boy, and never gave offence to mortual, which, by the same token, is more than can be said of Art the lad." "Very well, we know all that; and maybe it 'ud be betther for himself if he had a sharper spice of the dioual in him but sure the poor boy hasn't the brain for it.
I don't think there's a finer child in Europe of his age, so there isn't." "Indeed, he's a good child, Condy. But Condy, avick, about givin' credit: by thim five crasses, if I could give score to any boy in the parish, it 'ud be to yourself. It was only last night that I made a promise against doin' such a thing for man or mortual.
