"Indeed, it's very little matther what I get for them, or what I'll do either sorrow one of myself cares almost: for a man in his senses, that ought to know better, to make use of such low language about the blessed and holy crathurs, that hasn't a stain of sin about them, no more than the child unborn!" "So you think."
An' as soon as the wife an' the crathurs war fairly in bed, he brought out some illigint potteen, an' himself an' Jer Garvan sot down to it; an' begorra, the more anasy Terence got, the more he dhrank, and himself and Jer Garvan finished a quart betune them.
"An' some of the little houldhers says, 'Pat, says they, 'what'll we do wid the money whin we've no taxes to pay? 'Tis what they're tould, the crathurs. God help them, but they're mighty ignorant." Those who ridicule the assertions of Protestants and Catholic Unionists with reference to the lack of liberty may explain away what was told me by Mr.
"Right enough, Tom," observed Shane Fadh "sure most of the matches are planned at them, and, I may say, most of the runaways, too poor, young, foolish crathurs, going off, and getting themselves married; then bringing small, helpless families upon their hands, without money or manes to begin the world with, and afterwards likely to eat one another out of the face for their folly; however, there's no putting ould heads upon young shoulders, and I doubt, except the wakes are stopped altogether, that it'll be the ould case still."
She explained that she had said her heart was broke only "because she had lost her ould hat, and every thread of a rag on her had been dhrenched and ruinated with the salt water. How could she go for to do such a sin as destroy herself, she urged, and she wid a houseful of little childer waitin' for her at home, the crathurs?"
On the other hand a castle is changed by the magical balm into "a big rough cave, with water oozing over the edges of the stones, and through the clay; and the lady, and the lord, and the child, weazened, poverty-bitten crathurs nothing but skin and bone, and the rich dresses were old rags." This is an Irish picture; but in the north of England it is much the same.
"Why, there's a young heifer; but I'm strugglin' to keep it to help me in the rent. I was obliged to sell my pig long ago, for I had no way of feedin' it." "Well, bring me the heifer, Jemmy, an' I won't let the crathurs starve. We'll see what can be done when it comes here. An' now, Jemmy, let me ax if you wint to hear mass on last Sunday?" "Troth I didn't like to go in this trim.
"Plaise your honor," said Darby, who never could be honest to both parties, "there's a batch o' convarts outside waitin' to see you, but between you and me, I think you had as well be on your guard wid some o' them, I know what they want." "And pray, what is that, O'Drive?" "Why, thin, for fraid I may be doin' the crathurs injustice, sir, I won't say; only jist take my hint, any how.
I could not imagine what the purport of the dialogue was; but I easily saw, that I myself was the subject of it, for I could perceive them glance at me occasionally, as if they felt a degree of hesitation in laying down the matter for my approval; at length she opened it with great adroitness: "Musha, an' to be sure he will, Katty dear an' darlin' and mightn't you know he would the refusin' to do it isn't in his face, as any body that has eyes to see may know you ashamed! and what for would ye be ashamed? asthore, it's 'imself that's not proud, or he wouldn't tramp it, barefooted, along wud two ould crathurs like huz; him that has no sin to answer for but I'll spake to 'im myself, and yell see it's he that won't refuse it.
On hearing this, the kind landlady gave them a look of uncommon pity, exclaiming at the same time, as if in communication with her own feelings, "Musha, God pity them, the poor crathurs; an they surely can't but be both wake an ungry afther sich a journey, this blessed an' broilin'day och! och! if I had it or could afford it, an' they shouldn't want, any way arrah, won't ye thry and ate a bit of something?" addressing herself to them.
