The landlord was astonished at seeing the animal enter the best room in the house and could not help expressing his surprise to old Purcel: "Why, Purcel, is your pig in the habit of treating himself to the comforts of your best room?" "The pig is it, the crathur?
And now that the little divils have kilt him, sure they've swum off and left the poor crathur to die, just the same as some ov us does to sich other, more's the pity, by the same token!" It was true enough.
Holt ordered him to lay by the axe, and bring his spade, to dig a hole in a certain spot within the oblong. 'An' its mighty harmless that crathur 'ud be agin the wood, muttered the Irishman; 'throth, the earth in this counthry is mostly timber. An' in the name of wondher what does he want wid a hole, barrin' we're to burrow like rabbits?
"Musha, sure the Divil couldn't stay contint anywhile at all till he'd take to some manner of ould mischief 'ud soon show you the sort of crathur he was it's his nathur.
"Blessed be God!" exclaimed his wife, tenderly embracing* him, "blessed be God, Tom darlin', that you're safe back to us! An' how are you, avourueen? an' wor you well ever since? an' there was nothin musha, go out o' this, Ranger, you thief oh, God forgive me! what am I sayin'? sure the poor dog is as glad as the best of us arrah, thin, look at the affectionate crathur, a'most beside himself!
'Tisn't likely I wouldn't know her when I seen her agin. What's twinty years when you're my age? She didn't say I'd made a mistake when I called her Bridyeen. She's gone now, an' I'll miss her. 'Tis a lonesome road without a friend on it, for I'm too ould to take to an Englishwoman, though yon's a quiet crathur at the lodge." Lady O'Gara was recovering her power of speech.
We shall be the laughing-stock of every village we pass through." "Och, shure now, Mr. S , who'd think of looking at an owld crathur like me! It's only yersel' that would notice the like." "All the world, everybody would look at you, Jenny. I believe that you put on those hats to draw the attention of all the young fellows that we shall happen to meet on the road. Ha, Jenny!"
"How far do you intend to proceed tonight, Paddy?" said he. "The sarra one o' myself knows, plaze yer haner: sure we've an ould sayin' of our own in Ireland beyant that he's a wise man can I tell how far he'll go, sir, till he comes to his journey's ind. I'll give this crathur to you at more nor her value, yer haner."
"I have a good opinion of him, but not so good as I had thought." "Mush a why then, might one ask?" "I'm afeard he's a cowardly crathur, and rather unmanly a thrifle. I like a man to be a man, an' not to get as white as a sheet, an' cowld as a tombstone, bekaise he hears what he thinks to be a groan at night, an' it may be nothin' but an owld cow behind a ditch. Ha! ha! ha!"
"Faix, and I'm thinking just that very same," responded the first mate. "It blowed tremenjus towards four bells, sorr, an' the poor crathur must be clane smashed up by now!" "It's very unfortunate if that has happened," replied the other. "The sea is running too high for us to launch the jolly-boat, and so we'll lose all chance of saving the wreckage."
