The blackguards go away when they take it into their heads, without our giving them any occasion.

"If ye'll walk inside I'll call her in a minute." "A-ha!" said Mr. Brian, "you're one o' the nieces, are ye?

Me poor dada is gone where he's out of his throubles, please God; an' amn't I too well off myself here in this grand place, with me a'nt an' everywan so kind to me? Ye ought to be ashamed o' yourself, Elleney, to go cryin' an' frettin' when it's down on your knees ye should be, thankin' God. Hurry up now, an' on with your clothes an' get the breakfast!

"Oh no, Pat," cried Elleney in alarm. "That wouldn't do at all. Me a'nt bid me tell ye me a'nt said " "Well, what did she say, miss, dear?" inquired Pat, as she faltered. "She wasn't best pleased," stammered the girl.
"Who did you say you was, ma'am?" "I did not say," the visitor answered stiffly enough now. "I asked you a question." "Likely likely," agreed Cap'n Amazon. "But you intimated that you was the a'nt of a party by the name of Grayling. I happen to be her uncle myself. Her mother was my ha'f-sister. I don't remember jest who'd you say you was, ma'am?"
"Then, may be, it is not the Springs as takes you this line?" "The Springs is a right elegant place, I reckon." "It is your health, I calculate, as makes you break your good rules?"
