"To be sure I could," said Phelim, "have her thumpin' her breast, and countin' her Padareens in no time. Would you wish me to have her, mudher?" "Throth an' I would, avick." "That 'ud never do," observed the father. "Sure you don't think she'd ever think of the likes o' Phelim?" "Don't make a goose of yourself, ould man," observed Phelim.
Shure, avick, Bill Daly, the procthor, that sazed poor Black Bess, was murdhered the very mornin' you wint to shoot the hares; an' on account ov yer borryin' the gun, an' threatenin' him the day ov the sale, they said it was you that done id; but I gev thim all the lie, fur I knew you wor innocent. Now, Owen, ahagur, you look tired, sit down, an' I'll get you somethin' to ate.
"Owen, avick! an' the blessin' of the fatherless be upon you, sure, an' many a one o' them you have, any how, Owen!" "Well, Rosha well?" "Och, och, Owen, it's low days wid me to be depindin' upon the sthranger? little thim that reared me ever thought it 'ud come to this.
"'Well, I'm just a tellin' you, he says. 'Ye've got some rough knocks comin', Larry. In fact, ye're in for a devil of a time. But, remember that ye're the O'Keefe, says he. 'An' while the bhoys are all wid ye, avick, ye've got to be on the job yourself. "'I hope, I tell him, 'that the O'Keefe banshee can find her way here in time that is, if it's necessary, which I hope it won't be.
I'll warrant you that God will prosper you; an' that He may, avick, I pray this day!" and as he spoke, he raised his hat in reverence to the Being whom he invoked. "An' tell me, dear where do you intend to sleep to-night?" "In the town forrid here," replied Jemmy. "I'm in hopes I'll be able to reach it before dark." "Pooh! asy you will.
"Arrah, Brian," said the wife, "cut him up more o' that hung beef, it's ashamed the crathur is! Take it, avick; don't we know the journey you had! Faix, if one o' the boys was out on a day's thravellin', you'd see how he'd handle himself." "Indeed," said James, "I can't if I could I would. Sure I would be no way backward at all, so I wouldn't."

"Your mother; well, avick, I didn't say that for a sartinty; but still, you see, avourneen, maybe somebody could a tould ye it was the mother, forhaps, afther all." "Did you know them?" I asked.
"Arrah, what are you talkin' about? Sure 'tisn't of that same spalpeen of a gauger that we'd be afraid!" During this observation, young Dolan pressed Traynor's foot under the table, and they both went out for about five minutes. "Father," said the son, when he and Traynor re-entered the room, "you're a wanting home." "Who wants me, Larry, avick?" says the father.
