The like of him to be buying Ballycloran; and his father a process-server, and his wife's father that d d bricklayer Flannelly!" "Holloa! Mr.
The effects of this food were as wonderful in my instance as in that of the poor starved bricklayer shortly before; for, when I had eaten the last biscuit crumb and drained the final drop of pea-soup from the basin, I felt a new man, or rather boy Allan Graham himself, and not the wretched feeble nonentity I had been previously.

Sharlee was pleased that he had remembered about the bricklayer; she could have been persuaded that his remark was vaguely intended to convey some sort of thanks to her. But saying no more of this, she made it possible to introduce casually a reference to his vanished glasses. "Yes," said he, "I knocked them off the bureau and broke them one day.
