He winked cheeringly as I explained the nature of his errand, and he whispered: "I'll do it as clane as a whistle, yer honor. Mistress Clarkson's cook an' mesilf understhand each other, an' I'm used to goin' up the back way. Dhivil a man can see but the angels, an' they won't tell." "Very well, Mike; here's a dollar for you; you'll find the box on the hat-rack in the hall."
One day I picked up a map, an' seed a place on it called 'Little Sins. 'Little Sins wants great Deliverance, says I, an' I started clane off an' walked to the place, though I'd never so much as heard of it till then. 'Twas harvest-time there, an' I danced into the field, shouting 'Glory, glory. The harvest is plenty, but the labourers be few! The farmer was moved to give me a job 'pon the spot.
If your team of Rovers will come here and meet us on my field, we'll give you a game to-morrow, I think. What do you say, boys?" "You pet my life ve vill!" shouted Dunnerwurst. "By gum, that'll suit me!" came from Gallup. "I'm with you, Merry!" said Carson. "You know you can depend on me!" rumbled Browning. "Begorra, it will suit me clane down to the ground!" came from Mulloy.
"Nancy, on her part, kept Jack very clane and comfortable; his linen, though coorse, was always a good color, his working clothes tidily mended at all times; and when he'd have occasion to put on his good coat to work in for the first time, Nancy would sew on the fore-part of each sleeve a stout patch of ould cloth, to keep them from being worn by the spade; so that when she'd rip these off them every Saturday night, they would look as new and fresh as if he hadn't been working in them at all, at all.
"Gra machree yourself! but I say I am," replied Phelim; "robbed clane of every penny of it!"
Patrick, I'm clane out o' that! they don't try a man twice for the same thing." "Don't halloo so loud, my fine fellow," sneeringly rejoined Mr. Stevens, "you are not entirely out of the wood yet; you are by no means as safe as you imagine you haven't been tried yet, you have only been examined before a magistrate!
"I think I can manage it for you for to-morrow fortnight," said John the Clerk impressively, and there was some clapping of hands, quickly suppressed by Cæsar, with mutterings of "Popery! clane Popery, sir!

"Because they ain't here." "On the island?" "Searched it all every bush." "But who? which of the French?" "Dubrosc and that 'ar boy that was always with him both desarted." "You are sure they are missing?"
Well, it was a God's mercy that some one washed for you, and it was good clane washin' she did, I'll bet and blamed little she got for it, too, while you lay in your bed with your dandruffy hair in a greasy boudoir cap, and had her climb the stairs with your breakfast.

On the tenth day of their wanderings in the Great Cañon Glover began to complain of rheumatism. "These cussed draughts!" he groaned. "It's jest like travellin' in a bellows nozzle." "Wid the divil himself at the bellys," added Sweeny. "Faix, an' I wish he'd blow us clane out intirely. I'm gittin' tired o' this same, I am. I didn't lisht to sarve undher ground."
