'They were planted out but last year, my lady, says I, to soften matters between them, for I saw she was going the way to make his honour mad with her: 'they are very well grown for their age, and you'll not see the bog of Allyballycarrick-o'shaughlin at-all-at-all through the skreen, when once the leaves come out.
It seems that Houseman came to Knaresbro' to see his daughter; that suspicion, by a sudden train of events, fell on him, perhaps justly; to skreen himself he has sacrificed me. The tale seems plausible; perhaps the accuser may triumph. But, Madeline, you now may account for much that may have perplexed you before.
Trim, Kells and Durrow were the strongest holds; there were keeps or castles at Ardbraccan, Slane, Rathwyre, Navan, Skreen, Santry, Clontarf, and Castleknock for even these places, almost within sight of Dublin, were included in de Lacy's original grant.
Some dismounted, while others rode to and fro, like men engaged in a local enquiry of much interest.

"I took the course I pursued to serve you." "Tush!" cried Thames; "you accused me to skreen yourself." "On my soul, Thames, you wrong me!" replied Jack, passionately. "I'd lay down my life for yours."
He added besides, that it was impossible to skreen her and carry on the prosecution, or, indeed, recover the estate.

'I determined to dedicate myself to literature, poetry, and particularly to the stage. Essays of the dramatic kind indeed had been made by me very early.
