She was now close to him, and she seemed to be preparing for one stupendous pounce which would mean annihilation to Paddy. Her lean hands were thrust out, with the fingers crooked, and it seemed to me that her fingers were very long. In despair Paddy changed his tune and addressed her. "Ah, now, alanna. Sure the kind lady would be for doing no harm? Be easy, now, acushla."
"'Exactly', says she: 'that's it. 'Well, acushla, says he, 'you've a purty and an innocent-looking face; but I'm tould there's many a trap in London well baited. Just only run over while I'm looking at you, and let me see that purty face of yours smiling at me out of the windy that that young lady is peeping at us from. "This she had to do.
Isn't the whole country ringin' wid his praises; the blessin' o' God an you, acushla" this was to Nancy Devlin, on handing them the new milk "draw over, darlin', nearer to the table there now" this to his daughter, whom he settled affectionately to her food.
I'll tell, too, the long years in fighting we passed, Till Mounseer asked Bony to lead him; And Sir Arthur, grown tired of glory at last, Begged of one Mickey Free to succeed him. "But, acushla," says I, "the truth is I'm shy! There's a lady in Ballymacrazy! And I swore on the book " He gave me a look, And cried: "Mickey, now can't you be asy?"
You're the only one woman on earth to me. By the cross of Christ I swear it!" He was so white with passionate earnestness that she could not but believe him. "Well, then," she cried, "why will you not show me the letter?" "I'll tell you, acushla," said he. "I'm under oath not to show it, and just as I wouldn't break my word to you so I would keep it to those who hold my promise.
Phelim, acushla, see what it is to be hard an the poor!" "Oh, he was ever an' always the biggest nagar livin', ma'am. Ay, an' when he was tied up, till a blessed priest 'ud be brought to maliwgue the divil out of him, he got a scythe an' cut his own two hands off." "No thin, Phelim!" "Faitha, ma'am, sure enough. I suppose, ma'am, you hard about Biddy Duignan?" "Who is she, Phelim?"

You know there's not much pleasure in frettin', an' that no one would fret if they could avoid it; but will you promise me, my dear father, to be guided an' advised, in whatever you do, or intend to do, by my mother my blessed mother?"
"A curse on it, acushla, an' a promise av death that only two shtrong men can save you from an' McTee is shtrong so I've put away desire av killin' him till we get you safe an' sound to the shore, colleen, acushla; but ye must trust in us, an' follow us as ye love your life an' as I love ye!"

"Is it dhraming I've been?" continued the awakened one. "Where am I at all, at all? O musha! sure, here I am. O wirra! wirra! I dreamt I'd gone aslape on the main-hatch and the ship was blown up with powther, and it's all come true." "What is it, honey?" "Where are we now?" "Sure, we're afloat on the say, acushla; where else would we be?" "Where's uncle?"
