The county always expected you to marry your cousin; and, if you must be married, Theobald would have suited you better than Mr. Dawson. You're not the girl I thought you, Bawn."

There's nothin' wrong with his Lordship, and we needn't frighten the life out o' him, wirrasthruin', when he comes back to himself. Don't tell any of the women, Miss Bawn." I got him the water as quickly and quietly as I could, and Neil washed the blood away.
You will feel that I am just a girl like yourself, and will not be afraid. And I shall hold your hands till the danger is past." "May the Lord reward you, Miss Bawn!" "Then I may speak to Lady St. Leger?" "I shall love to be with you, Miss Bawn. Sure, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you.

Jimmy Spence, paying no attention to the accusations of the girl, gave the war-whoop which had formerly been so effective in the second act of "Pocahontas" in which Jimmy had enacted the noble savage and then he danced a jig that had done service in "Colleen Bawn."

"It is a Sleeping Beauty which wakes once a year," she said, "and that is in Horse-Show Week. Time was when I came up every year for the show. Now I think I shall revive the custom for your sake, Bawn. We can bespeak these rooms if they are not already bespoken.

Come, Tom, Steeple Tom, out with your two legs, one afore toder, and put Rapparee's nose out o' joint. Hicko! hicko! be de bones of Peter White off I go!"
