Phelim then sat down to breakfast for he was one of those happy mortals whose appetite is rather sharpened by affliction and immediately related to his father and mother the necessity which Appleton's connection had imposed on him of leaving the country; adding, that while he was in a state of intoxication, he had been stripped of Appleton's clothes; that his own were left beside him; that when he awoke the next morning, he found his borrowed suit gone; that on searching for his own, he found, to his misery, that the ten guineas had disappeared along with Appleton, who, he understood from his father, had "left the neighborhood for a while, till the throuble he was in 'ud pass over."
"Why, you don't know at all what I could do by larnin'. It would be no throuble to me to divide myself into two halves, an' argue the one agin the other." "You would, in throth, Dinny." "Ay, father, or cut myself acrass, an' dispute my head, maybe, agin my heels." "Throth, would you!" "Or practise logic wid my right hand, and bate that agin wid my left." "The sarra lie in it."
"God be thanked," exclaimed the delighted father, "sure it's comfort to hear that, any how afther all the pains and throuble we've taken wid him, to know it's not lost.
But av he iver is, he'll soon take himself out of the counthry, and be no more throuble to your lordship or any of us." "But to think of his riding right a-top of the poor brute, and then saying that the dog got under his horse's feet! Why, he's a fool as well as a knave. Was he ever out before?"

As for Ma, she found it pleasant to watch, from a comfortable distance, the work progressing satisfactorily, without any draft on her own energies. When I set out in life, I chose the betther part, an' now I'm old, I have the faith to believe I'll have a front seat in heaven. I've knew throuble in me day.

"By dad, it's very flat anyhow, and by the same token it's seldom I throuble it; but sure, your honor, if the wather is level, how do you make out that it is round you go?" "That is a part of the knowledge I was speaking to you about," said the captain. "Musha, bad luck to you, knowledge, but you're a quare thing! and where is it Bingal, bad cess to it, would be at all at all?"

By the holy Virgin, when you're one of us, it's not much longer he shall throuble you. If you can put up with what the likes of them is doing to you if you can bear all that why, Mr. Thady, you're not the man I took you for.
Now, you must know that this man, who was so active in punishing the trespasses of his neighbours' cattle and stock, was not at all particular in keeping his own at home. There happened to be an old sow of his, who was very fond of Pat's potaties, and a constant throuble to him, just then in the field when the sheep came home.
