CARVER stand Old MATTHEW McBRIDE, leaning on his stick; beside him, PHILIP McBRIDE, with his silver-hilted whip in his hand. A Constable at some distance behind Mr. CARVER'S chair. Mr. CARVER looking over and placing his books, and seeming to speak to his clerk. Catty. Old McB. Dacency, when you see his honour preparing his throat. CARVER clears his throat again. Catty.
Shamus had now a new object in putting his sly question. "If I said so, I forgot," answered the publican, his suspicions of Shamus at an end. "But it is about twenty years, indeed, since I left Ireland." "And by your speech, sir, and your dacency, I 'll engage you were in a good way in the poor place afore you left it?" "You guess correctly, friend."
"Bridget," said the priest, "I have asked you a simple question, to which I expect a plain answer. What money am I to give this tallow-hearted swain of yours?" "Why, your Reverence, whatsomever you think may be enough for full, an' plinty, an' dacency, at the weddin'." "Not forgetting the thatch for me, in the mane time," said Phelim.

Now, you see, I persave you have dacency. Here is your task; get that half page by heart. You have a cute look, an' I've no doubt but the stuff's in you. Come to me afther dismiss, 'till we have a little talk together." He accordingly pointed out the task, after which he placed him at his side, lest the inexperienced boy might be put on his guard by any of the scholars.
Sae, allooin' the thing maun be, ye'll hae till alloo likewise, an' it's a trouth I'm tellin' ye, sir, 'at it's o' nae sma' consequence to the toon 'at the drucken craturs sud fill themsels wi' dacency an' that's what I see till.
