Pshaw!" cried Cashel, with a laugh, "I'm as well known as Trafalgar Square. But I can't bring myself to tell you; and I hate secrets as much as you do; so let's drop it and talk about something else." "We have talked long enough. The music is over, and the people will return to this room presently, perhaps to ask me who and what is the stranger who made them such a remarkable speech."
On one occasion when he was in London, having learned that a raid was contemplated against the priests, he wrote to his wife to warn Bishop MacCragh of Cork to go into hiding at once, and to send away the priests who had taken refuge in his own palace at Cashel lest he should get into trouble.
"Easy for me, yes. But for you?" "Never mind me. You do whatever you like; and I'll do whatever you like. You have a conscience; so I know that whatever you like will be the best thing. I have the most science; but you have the most sense. Come!" Lydia looked around, as if for a means of escape. Cashel waited anxiously. There was a long pause.
Thus have the kings of the Deisi always been. And the place which was given over to him is not far from the Suir.

'Twelve lectures on political economy, by Cashel Byron. I will help you to publish them, if you wish." "Bless your innocence!" said Cashel: "the sort of political economy I teach can't be learned from a book." "You have become an enigma again. But yours is not the creed of a simpleton. You are playing with me revealing your wisdom from beneath a veil of infantile guilelessness.
The monks of Cashel having heard great stories of the learning of those of Mungret, resolved to send a deputation to them, to settle the point as to which college possessed the finest scholars in the dead languages.

"I do not make secrets; I do not keep them; and I do not respect them. Your humor clashes with my principle." "You call it a humor!" said Cashel, angrily. "Perhaps you think I am a duke in disguise.
