"Throth, an' it'll be many a day till there's a wrinkle in your face, avourneen an' now that I look at you agin a pretty an' a sweet face it is. 'Deed it's many a day since I seen two sich faces as yours and the other young lady's; but anyway, you had betther let me get you a comfortable cup o' tay afther your long journey. Oh, then, but that beautiful creature has a sorrowful look, poor thing."
"Avourneen," said she, "the parish is big enough, an' has customers enough to support two o' them; an' I'll engage his Reverence will do what he can for them both."

You see my heart, great God! and that what I did, I did for the best!" "Avourneen," said the woman, "he's passionate, an' never mind him. Come in an' beg his pardon for callin' him a liar, an' I'll become spokesman for you myself. Come, acushla, an' I'll get lave for you to stay in the school still."
"Don't take it so much to heart avourneen," said her mother; "but, any way, hadn't you betther see himself, an' hear what he has to say for himself. Maybe, afther all, it's not so bad as it looks. See him, Kathleen; maybe there's not so much harm in it yet." "No, mother, see him I will not, in that sense Bryan M'Mahon a traitor! Am I a dreamer?
Wherever Barny came there was mirth, and a disposition to be pleased, so that his jokes always told. "Musha, the sorra pare you, Barny," said one of the girls; "but there's no bein' up to you, good or bad."

It's upon your two knees you ought to drop, an' Saver above, what's the matther wid him? He's off; keep him up. Oh, God bless you! that's it, avourneen; jist place him on the chair there fornext the door, where he can have air.

"Avourneen," said Ellish, "the way to deck out your shop is to keep the best of goods.
I'd not rest in my grave if I wasn't berrid among my own; so we'll take the farm if possible." "Well, then, Bridget, hurry the breakfast, avourneen; an' in the name o' goodness, we'll set out, an' clinch the business this very day." Owen, as we said, was prompt in following up his determinations. After breakfast they saw the agent and his father, for both lived together.
