He put the baskets carefully away with much of such talk as this addressed to himself while he did so.
'I told Father Doyle this mornin' at breakfuss that if that red-headed man iver got wan punch at th' other lad, I'd bet a new cassock Oh, dear! he says, 'what am I sayin'? 'Ye're sayin', says I, 'what nine-tenths iv th' people, laymen an' clargy, are sayin', I says. 'Well, he says, 'I guess ye're right. he says.
"Indeed I'm obliged to you," said I; "I protest I'm obliged to you, for your good opinion of me." "It's nothin' but what ye desarve, avick! an' more nor that yer the makin's of a clargy I'm guessin'?" "I am," said I, "surely designed for that." "I declare I feel much the same towards you," I returned, for the fellow in spite of me was gaining upon my good opinion; "you are a decent, civil soul."
'What do ye mane, you uncivilised bliggard? says his raverance. 'Is that a venerable way, says he, 'to approach your clargy? says he. 'Hould your tongue, says Bill, 'an' I'll do ye no harum, says he.

"Ladies," said the suitor, "don't disthress yourselves. There wasn't a ha'porth of harm in it me arm was in the right place.

Me clargy wouldn't let me marry the whole of yez, so I have to be content with one, an' I'm after choosin' this one."
I looked about me, an' seen ever so many priests dressed all like the Protestant clargy; our Dinis was at the head of them, wid a three-cocked hat, an' a wig upon him; he was cuttin' up beef an' mutton at the rate of a weddin', an' dhrinkin' wine in metherfuls."

You friars boast of this voluntary poverty; but if there's a fat bit in any part of the parish, we, that are the lawful clargy, can't eat it, but you're sure to drop in, just in the nick of time, with your voluntary poverty. "'I'm sure, if we do, says the friar, 'it's nothing out of your pocket, Michael. I declare I believe you begrudge us the air we breathe.
