"We're axin your charity for God's sake!" Poor Tenant. "Why thin for His sake you would get it, poor crathur, if we had it; but it's not for you widin the four corners of the house. It 'ud be well for us if we had now all we gave away in charity durin' the Whole year; we wouldn't have to be buyin' for ourselves at three prices. Why don't you go up to the Big House? They're rich and can afford it."
The mendicant immediately wetted Mike's lips, and poured some spirits, copiously diluted with water, down his throat; after which he held the whiskey-bottle, like a connoisseur, between himself and the light. "I hope," said he, "this whiskey is the raal crathur."
"I will bring the girl with me, put her to bed, find her friends, and see that she starts on her journey safely; it's very awkward, but there's nothing else to be done." So we departed in a chorus of popular approval. "Sure it's you that have the good hearts!" "May the heavens be your bed!" "May the journey thrive wid her, the crathur!"
"Gad bliss you, sir Gad bliss you. Maybe if I'd make up to the mishthress, yer haner! Thrath she wouldn't turn the crathur from the place, in regard that the tindherness ow the feelin' would come ower her the rale gintlewoman, any way! 'Tis dag chape you have her at what I said, sir; an' Gad bliss you!" "Do you want to compel me to purchase it whether I will or no?"
It seemed probable that processions of prosperous aldermen, school directors, contractors, mayors, and ward politicians, returning to their native land to see how Herself was getting on, the crathur, might have deposited on the soil successive layers of Irish-American virtues, such as punctuality, thrift, and cleanliness, until they had quite obscured fair Erin's peculiar and pathetic charm.
"They say it breaks their strinth, too," replied his father, "to be crubbin' them in too much, an' snappin' at thim for every hand's turn, an' I'm sure it does too." "Doesn't he become the pock-marks well, the crathur?" said the mdther. "Become!" said the father; "but doesn't the droop in his eye set him off all to pieces!"
The mother, too, came running out to see what was the matter, when the dog made another spring up about Jack's neck, and gave his lips the slightest lick in the world with its tongue, the crathur was so glad to see him: the next minute, Jack forgot the lady, as clane as if he had never seen her; but if he forgot her, catch him at forgetting the money not he, avick! that stuck to him like pitch.
They parted company where the roads met, an' I heard Sir Shawn trottin' his horse up the road in front o' me, an' Spitfire that was Mr. Comerford's horse was unaisy an' refusin' the dark road under the trees. You couldn't tell what the crathur saw, God help us all! No horse liked that road.
"Arrah, what harm did the crathur do," asked his wife, "that you'd kick her for, that way? an' why but you ate out your dinner?" "I'm done," he replied, "but that's no rason that Rosha, an' you, an' thim boys that has the work afore them, shouldn't finish your male's mate."
"May I respectfully inquire where you got that crathur, in the first place?" "Why, I bought him of the varmints." "How mooch did you pay?" "Wall," laughed Sut, in turn, "I haven't paid anything yet." "I suppose they've sint in their account till they're tired. Finding yer doesn't pay any attention, they've come to take him back again."
