Being in a desperate hurry, I hired a jaunting car to take me to my father's house. `Is it the O'Brien of Ballyhinch that you mane? inquired the spalpeen who drove the horse. `Sure it is, replied I; `and how is he, and all the noble family of the O'Briens? `All well enough, bating the boy Tim, who caught a bit of confusion in his head the other night at the fair, and now lies at home in bed quite insensible to mate or drink; but the doctors give hopes of his recovery, as all the O'Briens are known to have such thick heads. `What do mane by that, bad manners to you? said I; `but poor Tim how did it happen was there a fight? `Not much of a fight only a bit of a skrummage three crowner's inquests, no more. `But you are not going the straight road, you thief, said I, seeing that he had turned off to the left. `Is your honour in a hurry to get home?

It was the ghost of a garment; but, however, with the blessing of God, my last quarterly bill, and the help of a tailor, we have had a regular refit, and the ancient family of the O'Briens of Ballyhinch are now rigged from stem to stern.
