This indeed, is pretty evident, from the nature of the spoileen keeper's observations on being paid, which is usually "Thank you, Barney; you may now considher yourself a gintleman;" or if a female "Long life to you, Bridget; you may now go into high life any time." It is unnecessary to say, that on the day in question, the spoileen tents were crowded to suffocation.
Aw, they wouldn't be hoult; And every trennel and every boult The best of stuff. Aw, didn' considher The 'spense nor nothin' not a fig! And three lugs at her that was the rig And raked a bit, three reg'lar scutchers, And carried her canvas like a ducherss. Chut! the trim is in the boat. Ballast away! but the trim's in the float In the very make of her! That's the trimming!"
I might, sure enough, have known the way it 'ud be, if I'd come to considher, but somehow it seemed to put me out, as if I'd no call to be there at all. There was one of them began pricin' me ould hat, and another of them tripped him up against a black marble construction with a pair of angels atop of it, that there is on the wall sure they were just spalpeens.
"It pleased Providence to bring us through many hair-breadth escapes, with our craniums uncracked; and when we considher that he, on taking a retrogradation of his past life, can indulge in the plasing recollection of having broken two skulls in his fighting days, and myself one, without either of us getting a fracture in return, I think we have both rason to be thankful.
Considher, Pether darlin', that the man who owned it last, feathered his nest well in it, but never called it a Hotill. Let it appear on the outside jist as your old customers used to see it; but improve it widin as much as you can, widout bein' lavish an it, or takin' up the place wid nonsense." "At all evints, I'll have a picture of the Liberator over the door, an' O'Connell' written under it.
"But considher," said another, edging off from Jemmy, however, "that he's a poor scholar, an' that there's a great blessin' to thim that assists the likes of him." "Ay, is there that, sure enough, Dan; but you see blur-an-age, what's to be done? He can't die this way, wid nobody wid him but himself." "Let us help him!" exclaimed another, "for God's sake, an' we won't be apt to take it thin."

"An' 'e give it you for love?" said Ortheris. "We were alone in that passage. Maybe I was a trifle too pressin', but considher fwhat I had done for the good av the temple and the iverlastin' joy av those women. Twas cheap at the price. I wud ha' taken more if I cud ha' found ut. I turned the ould man upside down at the last, but he was milked dhry.
I wud ha' rolled out his face wid the butt av my gun before permittin' av him to steal the gurl. Saints knew av he wud ha' married her, and av he didn't she wud be in great tormint, an' the divil av a 'scandal. But I niver sthruck, niver raised me hand on my shuperior orf'cer; an' that was a merricle now I come to considher it."
I should ha' comminst wid an explanation; but Jock, dear, on your sowl are ye fit, think you, for the finest fight that iver was betther than fightin' me? Considher before ye answer.
