"LAD!" came the Master's sharp, scandalized mandate. Hating the thought of desisting from his cherished revenge, the dog heard and heeded. With visible reluctance, he drew back from the slaughter; and turned his noble head to face the man who was running down the steps toward him. Lad knew well what he might expect, for this thing he had done. He knew the Law.
‘Arrigod yuit?’ said the fellow, desisting from his work, and staring at me. ‘Oh yes, I have money,’ said I, ‘and of the best’; and I pulled out an English shilling. ‘Tabhair chugam?’ said the smith, stretching out his grimy hand. ‘No, I shan’t,’ said I; ‘some people are glad to get their money when their work is done.’
He did stop it, the cottager desisting with much reluctance; but, as if to revenge the bee-master's wrongs, in the course of the day the swarm, quitting the elm, entered the church and occupied a post in the roof.

Let those who have tried say whether this is easy.
Suddenly desisting from this elegant occupation, his eye caught sight of the parson's shovel-hat, which lay on a chair in the corner. "You're a clergyman, I reckon, sir," said the traveller, with a slight sneer. Again Mr. Dale bowed, bowed in part deprecatingly, in part with dignity.
