"You don't say so, Shorsha mavourneen! you don't say that you have cards fifty-two?" "I do, though; and they are quite new never been once used." "And you'll be lending them to me, I warrant?"

'You don't say so, Shorsha ma vourneen? you don't say that you have cards fifty-two? 'I do, though; and they are quite new never been once used. 'And you'll be lending them to me, I warrant?

‘You don’t say so, Shorsha ma vourneen?—you don’t say that you have cards fifty-two?’ ‘I do, though; and they are quite new—never been once used.’ ‘And you’ll be lending them to me, I warrant?’ ‘Don’t think it!—But I’ll sell them to you, joy, if you like.’ ‘Hanam mon Dioul! am I not after telling you that I have no money at all!’

'Give me back my pack, said I, 'or m'anam on Dioul if I be not the death of ye! His reverence, however, clapped the cards into his pocket, and made the best of his way to the door, I hanging upon him.
It was she, as you will judge, who made Diafer known to me, who dictated to me the answers I gave the sages, who informed me of the talismans, and delivered this one to me.
