I'm like Dan-ny-Clae, the sheep-stealer, when he came to die. 'I'm going to eternal judgment what'll I do? says Dan. 'Give back all you've stolen, says the parzon. 'I'll chance it first, says the ould rascal. It's the other fellow that's for stealing this time; but I'll chance it, Philip. Death it may be, and judgment too, but I'll chance it, boy." Philip's eyes wandered over the floor.
