"O sir," said Barny, rubbing his eyes, which were still a little hazy, "whiniver I go to sleep I pay attintion to it."
Barny had proposed potatoes; Peter said there were enough of them already where he was going; and Barny rejoined that, "praties were so good in themselves there never could be too much o' thim anywhere." But in many similar mistakes the ingenious Mr. Kelly has been paralleled by other speculators.
But sure I have great news for you all!" "What is that, Barny?" "Well, but can yez keep a sacret? Can yez, girls?" "Faix can we, Barny, achora." "Well, so can I ha, ha, ha! Now, are,yez sarved? Come, let me to the hob." "Here, Barny; I'll lead you, Barny." "No, I have him; come, Barny, I'll lead you: here, achora, this is the spot that's it.
The youth of Findramore were parched for want of the dew of knowledge; and their parents and grown brethren met one Saturday evening in Barny Brady's shebeen-house, to take into consideration the best means for procuring a resident schoolmaster for the village and neighborhood.
"But all this is no rule for a gentleman born," pursued the good-natured Barny, in answer, I suppose, to the sigh which I uttered; "nor is it any disparagement to him if he has not done as well in a place like America, where he had not the means; not being used to bricklaying and slaving with his hands, and striving as we did.
"O, look at this!" shouted Barny, and he stamped on the deck with rage, "look at the blackguards where they're stayin', just a-purpose to ruin an unfortunate man like me. My heavy hathred to you, quit this minit, or I'll run down an yes, and if we go to the bottom, we'll haunt you forevermore, go 'long out o' that, I tell you.
"For that matther," observed the farithee, joining in the joke, "he can see as far as any of us while we're asleep." The conversation was thus proceeding, when Barney Dhal and young Frank M'Kenna entered the kitchen. In a moment all hands were extended to welcome Barney: "Millia failte ghud, Barny!" "Cead millia failte ghud, Barny!" "Oh, Barny, did you come at last? You're welcome."
"Why, indeed, as for the matther o' that," said Barny, "they're all aiqual to me a'most." "All?" said the American. "Why, I calculate you couldn't pilot a ship into all the ports of Ireland." "Not all at wanst," said Barny, with a laugh, in which the American could not help joining. "Well, I say, what ports do you know best?"
During stated periods of the night, those who took the most prominent part in the dance, got a plate and hat, with which they went round the youngsters, to make collections for the fiddler. Barny reserved his best and most sarcastic jokes for these occasions; for so correct was his ear, that he felt little difficulty in detecting those whose contributions to him were such as he did not relish.
We have said a ship left the harbor before the hooker had set sail; and it is now fitting to inform the reader that Barny had contrived, in the course of his last meeting with the "long sailor," to ascertain that this ship, then lying in the harbor, was going to the very place Barny wanted to reach.
