Rourke, and let me work for you?" I asked hopefully, after explaining to him why I was here. "Shewer," he replied. "Ye'd do fine." "Would I have to work with the Italians?" I asked, wondering how I would make out with a pick and shovel. My frame was so spare at the time that the question must have amused him, considering the type of physique required for day labor.

"Why don't he come with me, then? He'd have a foine time workin' with the guineas. Shewer 'twould make a man av him a few months of that" and he pointed to Angelo Esposito shoveling clay. Big John thought this worth reporting to Eugene. He did not think that he wanted to work with the guineas, but he might like to be with Deegan. Eugene saw his opportunity. He liked Deegan.

I counted a' th' clocks in the town striking afore I'd leave my work. No! yon Thornton's good enough for to fight wi', but too good for to be cheated. It were you as getten me the place, and I thank yo' for it. Thornton's is not a bad mill, as times go. Stand down, lad, and say yo'r pretty hymn to Miss Margaret. That's right; steady on thy legs, and right arm out as straight as a shewer.

If ye was in their place ye'd do the same. There's no sinse in allowin' another man to waalk on ye whin ye can get another job. I don't blame thim. I was a mason wanst meself." "You don't mean to say that you acted as you say these men are going to act?" "Shewer!" "Well, I shouldn't think you'd be very proud of it." "I have me rights," he declared, flaring up.

Haverford to transfer me to you, if you'll let me come," he said at the close of the day when Deegan was taking off his overalls and the "Eyetalians," as he called them, were putting the things back in the car. "Shewer!" said Deegan, impressed by the great name of Haverford. If Eugene could accomplish that through such a far-off, wondrous personality, he must be a remarkable man himself.

One manner by straight lines, upon the which the likeness of the thing that is seen, cometh to the sight. Another manner, upon lines rebounded again: when the likeness of a thing cometh therefrom to a shewer, and is bent, and re-boundeth from the shewer to the sight.

Once, anent all this, I said to him, "Rourke, how many times have you threatened to discharge Matt in the last three years?" "Shewer," he replied, with his ingratiating grin, "a man don't mane aall he says aall the time."

No! don't slide off, if you please, into the next room that won't set things right, nohow. Sit you down again. Now I'm here, I have something to say. I'll speak first to Mr. Frenchman. Listen to this, old sir. If I happen to want a witness standing in the doorway, I'll ring the bell; for the present I can do without you. Bong Shewer, as we say in your country."

Afterwards, when I inquired very cautiously what he had done about it this was a week or two later he replied, "Shewer, what can ye do with a loafer like that? He has no money, an' lockin' him up won't help his wife an' children any." Thus ended a perfect scene out of Kilkenny.

"Shewer, I have to be theyre," he had replied with his quizzical Irish grin. "They're not payin' me me wages fer lyin' in bed. If ye were to get up that way every day fer a year it would make a man of ye!" "Oh, no," said Eugene teasingly. "Oh, yes," said Deegan, "it would. An' yere the wan that's needin' it. I can tell that by the cut av ye." Eugene resented this but it stayed by him.
