Howandiver, do you go an; but, naboklish! what'll ye have?" "'Jig Polthouge, Barny: but on your wrist ma bouchal, or Katty will lave us both ut o' sight in no time. Whoo! success! clear the coorse. Well done, Barny! That's the go." When the youngsters had danced for some time, the fathers and mothers of the village were called upon "to step out."
Now, sir, maybe you'll have Latin for throwsers agin, or by my sowl, if you don't, you must peel, and I'll tache you what a Profissor of Humanity is! "Dan Roe, you little starved-looking spalpeen, will you come up to your Elocution? and a purty figure you cut at it, wid a voice like a penny thrumpet, Dan! Well, what speech have you got now, Dan, ma bouchal.
Thin we can go through the neighbors, an' git thim to sit near him time about, an' to bring him little dhreeniens o' nourishment." "Divil a purtier! Come thin, let us get a lot o' the neighbors, an' set about it, poor bouchal. Who knows but it may bring down a blessin' upon us aither in this world or the next." "Amin! I pray Gorra! an' so it will sure I doesn't the Catechiz say it?
"Bravo, boys success, masther; lie into him where's your huntin' horn, Mr. Kavanagh? he'll bate yez if ye don't take the wind of him. Well done, Callaghan, keep up yer heart, yer sowl, and you'll do it asy you're gaining' on them, ma bouchal the masther's down, you gallows clip, an' there's none but the scholars afther ye he's safe."
"Kelly," said his Eeverence, interrupting him, and heralding, the joke, for so it was intended, with a hearty chuckle, "you're getting fast out of your teens, ma bouchal?" and this was of course, honored with a merry peal; extorted as much by an effort of softening the rigor of examination, as by the traditionary duty which entails upon the Irish laity the necessity of laughing at a priest's jokes, without any reference at all to their quality.
I think we ought to give the crathur half of it, an' him so sick: he'll be wantin' it worse nor ourselves." "Oh, be Gorra, he's fairly entitled to that. I vote him fifteen pince." "Surely!" they exclaimed unanimously. "Tundher-an'-turf! wasn't he the manes of gettin' it for us?" "Jemmy, a bouchal," said Connor, across the ditch to M'Evoy, "are you sleepin'?"
Then, in a clear mezzo-soprano voice, she sang the first verse of one of the most popular Irish ballads: "O Arrah, ma dheelish, the distant dudheen Lies soft in the moonlight, ma bouchal vourneen: The springing gossoons on the heather are still, And the caubeens and colleens are heard on the hills."
Faix, Paddy will get a dhrookin, so he will, at that weary fair wid the stirks, poor bouchal a son of ours that's gone to Bally-boulteen to sell some cattle, an' he'll not be worth three hapuns afore he comes back. I hope he'll have sinse to go into some house, when he's done, an' dhry himself well, anyhow, besides takin' somethin' to keep out the could.
A creel was then hung at the other side, in which was placed a large stone, of sufficient weight to preserve an equilibrium; and, to prevent any accident, a droll fellow sat astride behind the straddle, amusing himself and the rest by breaking jokes upon the novelty of Mat's situation. "Well, Mat, ma bouchal, how duv ye like your sitivation?
"I think," said M'Kinley, with a comical grin, "you might know that by his high-flown manner of sleeping he snores very politely, and like a gentleman, all out." "Well done, Alick," said the priest, laughing; "go home, boys, it's near bed-time; Paddy, ma bouchal, are the horses ready?" "They'll be at the door in a jiffy, your Reverence," said Paddy going out.
