And Martin'll be here soon I wondher what good Dublin'll do him? They might have the Repale without him, I suppose? And when he's here, why, av' he's minded to marry her, and she's plased, why, Father Geoghegan may come down, and do it before the whole counthry, and who's ashamed? But there'll be no huggery-muggery, and schaming; that is, av' they're said by me.
"It was your schaming to get her money brought her here, and, like a poor wake woman, as I was, I fell into it; and now we've all the throuble and the expinse, and the time lost, and afther all, Barry'll be getting everything when she's gone. You'll see, Martin; we'll have the wake, and the funeral, and the docthor and all, on us mind my words else. Och musha, musha! what'll I do at all?
He did feel that his conduct up to the present moment deserved more of gratitude than of threats from Pat Carroll. "You're to remimber your oath, Muster Flory. You're become one of us, as Father Brosnan was telling you. You're not to be one of us, and then go over among them schaming Prothestants." "I haven't gone over among them, only my father is one of them."
Have ye none of the owld blood left round your heart, that you'll not kick him out of the house, for a pettifogging schaming blackguard!" and Larry got up as though he meant to have a kick at the attorney himself. "Be asy, father, and let him go of himself; he'll go fast enough now. Sit down awhile; sit down till I come back," and Thady followed the attorney down the steps on to the gravel road.
"That's where you'll find me to-morrow morning then, for I'll certainly come to ask your sister how she is, after the brutal manner you've frightened her this night; and then perhaps you'll have the goodness to tell me what you mean by what you call 'schaming."
Kelly was denouncing one of the reputed sins of the province to which she belonged, and describing the horrors of "schaming." "Them underhand ways," she declared, "niver come to no good. Av' it's thrue what Father Connel's afther telling me, there'll harum come of it before it's done and over. Schaming, schaming, and schaming for iver! The back of my hand to such doings!
"I'll tell you now, then; it's schaming to be coming with your lies and your blarney afther a girl like Feemy, only maning to desave her it's schaming to go about humbugging a poor silly owld man like my father, and it's the higth of schaming and blackguardness to pretend to be so frindly to a family, when you know you're maning them all the harum in your power to do.

Faix then I don't know what he'll be saying to it; it's little mind, I think, he'll have to be saying much comfort to any of you; for he'll be vexed and out with everything, jist at present. He doesn't like the way that Captain Ussher is schaming with his sister." "Like it! no, I wonder av he did; a black-hearted Protestant like him.
"She's nothin' to me, and I don't know as she's iver like to be." "May-be not." "But, tell me, Martin was there anything said between you and Moylan about Anty before she come down here?" "How, anything said, mother?" "Why, was there any schaming betwixt you?" "Schaming? when I want to schame, I'll not go shares with sich a fellow as Moylan."
Breakfast was now ready, and Fardorougha himself entered, uttering petulant charges of neglect and idleness against his servant. "He desarves no breakfast," said he; "not a morsel; it's robbin' me by his idleness and schaming he is. What is he doin', Connor? or what has become of him? He's not in the field nor about the place." Connor paused.
