Cæsar had risen to his feet, and in a moment the house was in an uproar. Ross lifted his head like a cock. "Were you speaking to me, mister?" he asked. "I was, and don't demane yourself like that again," said Cæsar. "Like what?" said Ross. "Paying coort to a girl that isn't fit for you." Ross lifted his hat, "Do you mean this young lady?"
"Oh that last song of the Solicitor-General's," said Goggins, with an air as if the Solicitor-General were his particular friend. "About the robbery?" inquired Jim. "To be sure," returned Goggins. "Dear me," said Larry, "and would so grate a man as the Solicithor-General demane himself by writin' about robbers?"
"Moonshine, is it! By jabers, and it's a mighty poor compliment to the moon to call him so. And is it the language you're going to larn now? Shure, Mr. Charles, I wouldn't demane myself by larning the lingo of these black hathens. Isn't for them to larn the English, and mighty pleased they ought to be, to get themselves to spake like Christians." "But who's going to teach them, Tim?"
"If I had anything to do with it at all I'd tread on Flannigan's coat, and you can tell him so, for disgracing the Corps.... Take off your jacket and help with my boots, Shocky. I'm for Guard." "Oi'd clane the boots of no man that ud demane himself to ax it," was the haughty reply of the disappointed warrior. "Not for less than a quart at laste," he amended.
And the real beauty is Miss Francie, such as my own babbies were before her, bless them!" "Stop," cried Clement in consternation. "It is only a bit of passing admiration. Don't say a word about it to the others." "As if I would demane myself to the like of them!
"Well, so, from that out, I began to think of it in arnest. The Lord forgive me! but my first thoughts was how I'd like to pull down Barry Lynch; and my second that I'd not demane myself by marrying the sisther of such an out-and-out ruffian, and that it wouldn't become me to live on the money that'd been got by chating your lordship's grandfather."
The very poorest are the most remarked for this ridiculous boasting. A servant girl of mine told me, with a very grand toss of the head, "that she did not choose to demane herself by scrubbing a floor; that she belonged to the ra'al gintry in the ould counthry, and her papa and mamma niver brought her up to hard work."
As she said to herself, "a Kelly wouldn't demane herself to ask a brass penny from a Lynch." She didn't even speak to her daughters about it, though the continual twitter she was in made them aware that there was some unusual burthen on her mind. It was not only to the Kellys that the idea occurred that Anty in her illness might make a will.
