"An' who's to open the dhrain in the bottom below?" "That can be done the day afther. Won't you, abouchal?" "Ellish, you're a deludher, I tell you. Sweet words; sowl, you'd smooth a furze bush wid sweet words.
But, any way, take my advice, avillish, will you, aroon? an' faix you'll see how rich we'll get, wid a blessin'?" "Ellish, you're a deludher!" "Well, an' what suppose? To be sure I am. Usen't you be followin' me like a calf afther the finger? ha, ha, ha! Will you do my biddin', Pether darlin'?"
"Get me a drink o' wather," said Jack, "for I'm thundherin' thirsty, and can't deludher that girl with soft words till I wet my mouth." His attendant vagabond obeyed the order, and a large pitcher full of water was handed to the master, who heaved it upwards to his head and drank as audibly and nearly as much as a horse.
"In throth, the same proverb's a lyin' one, and ever was; but it's not parsnips I'll butther wid 'em, you gommoch." "Sowl, you butthered me wid 'em long enough, you deludher devil a lie in it; but thin, as you say, sure enough, I was no parsnip not so soft as that either, you phanix." "No?
"Be guided by her, Peter, if you're wise, she's a wife you ought to be proud of." "Thrue for you, sir; divil resave the word o' lie in that, any how. Come, Ellish; come, you deludher, I'm wid you." "God bless your honor, sir, an' we're ob'laged to you for you kindness an' patience wid the likes o' us." "I say ditto, your honor. Long life an' glory to you every day your honor rises!"

Kape a tight line on him, sorr: niver let him deludher ye. It's an illigant mikroptheros he is, sure!"
"Well, no matter, acushla, do you only back me; just show me how I ought to go on wid them, for nobody can outdo you at such things, an' I'll engage we'll thrive yit, always wid a blessin' an us." "Why, to tell God's thruth, I'd bate the devil himself at plannin' out, an' bringin' a thing to a conclusion eh, you deludher?"
"Divil a pleasanter," said Peter: "I tell you, I'd like it well; an', for my own part, if the deludher here has no objection, I'm not goin' to spoil sport."
