So foolish did the notion seem that he tried to banish it from his thoughts.
"Take 'em gently through the firs; maybe he's lying out and down into the gorse, and then, if he's there, he must go away, and into a tip-top country too miles upon miles of pasture right away to Ballintubber," "That's thrue, too, my lord: let his Rivirence alone for understandhing a fox," said Mick, with a wink. The Parson's behests were obeyed.
Is it not hideous that it should come to this? that men should snigger when Nelson and honour are coupled together." The tears rolled down the Parson's face. "Ah, my dear fellow," he kept on saying, patting the other's back, "my dear, dear fellow." "I have been hiding from my God all these years and to-day He found me!" sobbed the voice upon his shoulder.

The parson's wife hid her tender eyes on her husband's coat sleeve. "Oh, dear me!" she exclaimed sympathetically.
