"Well, well, I'll say nothing for her but that she's quare!" said the old landlady, hurrying in from her hens to attend to these rarer birds whom fortune had sent to her net. Mrs. Pat's roan cob had attacked and defeated the fourteen Irish miles with superfluous zeal, and there were still several minutes before the hounds could be reasonably expected on the scene.

At a signal from their chief the whole band of Indians sank, as it seemed, into the ground, melted off the face of the earth, and only the white men and the chief remained. "I must go forward alone," whispered Unaco, turning to Paul. "White man knows not how to go on his belly like the serpent."
Is it possible Mr Jones should be now in the house?" "Quare non?" answered Partridge, "it is possible, and it is certain." Abigail now made haste to finish the remainder of her meal, and then repaired back to her mistress, when the conversation passed which may be read in the next chapter.

Thady, and is that yerself?" said Corney; "well, anyway you're welcome here." "I'm glad to see you here, Mr. Thady," said Joe; "didn't I tell you you'd be coming? though it's a quare time you've chosen. Didn't I tell you you'd be changing your mind?" "But was yer honer wanting me, Mr.
