"Ay, an' a good one, too," said Peter; "an' kind father for his honor to be what he is. Divil resave the family in all Europe" "Thrue for you, avourneen, an' even' one knows that. We wor talkin' it over, sir, betuxt ourselves, Pether an' me, an' he says very cutely, that, upon second thoughts, he offered more nor we could honestly pay out o' the land: so"
"Why, I tould her to tell whichever o' them she happened to see first, that St. Pether was dead." "And what did she say to that?" "Why, sir, she said it would be a good story for you if he was." "And what did she mean by that, do you think?"
"Here's Peter," said the priest, presenting him to her view "Here's Peter, dear." "Oh! what a load is on me! this pain this pain is killin' me won't you bring me, Pether? Oh, what will I do? Who's there?" The mental pangs of poor Peter were, perhaps, equal in intensity to those which she suffered physically.
No, indeed; we wor too long together, Pether, and lived too happily wid one another, for you to have the heart to think of sich a thing!" "No, in troth, Ellish, I would be long sarry to do it. It's displasin' to you, achree, an' I won't say it. God spare you to us!
Hurroo, my darlings! didn't I tell you it 'ud never do? Success to bould John Tuam and the ould siminary ov Firdramore!

Pether, they do, the vagabones; for it was myself that won the bottle, your Reverence; and by this and by that, says he, 'the bottle I'll have, or some of their crowns, will crack for it: blood or whiskey I'll have, your Reverence, and I hope that you'll assist me.
Katty, avourneen, have an eye to the house till we come back; an' if Dick Murphy comes here to get tobaccy on score, tell him I can't afford it, till he pays up what he got. Come, Pether, in the name o' goodness come, abouchal."
"Anarchistic, to say the least of it," observed Haigh. "We are simply acting on the principle of the 'greatest good for the greatest number," said Taltavull. "Pether is one; you are two, and I flatter myself that I and my Cause make an important third; the interests of the one must go under in favour of the interests of the three."
Sure, it's not more nor five or six years since Father Pether there used to be digging praties on the one ridge with myself by the same token, an excellent spadesman he was and now he knows more nor all the Protestant parsons in the Diocy."
