Hereafter he'll have to divide the Gypsum, and she arrives reg'lar, too." "And he'll lose the Kentigern to-night," laughed Dan. "Well, I don't care. It'll do him good. I hope they put him out of business."
"Spake for yourselves!" exclaimed one of the listeners. "You do be like Father Ross, always pr'achin' that we 'd best want less than want more. He takes honest folks for fools, poor man," said Mary Ann Duffy, who had no patience at any time with new ideas.
Quin, without taking any notice, "'an' I 'll take me third leg and walk over and bring Nora down to you. Bridget's great for the news from home now, for all she was so sharp to be l'aving it."

"He just lies down by the stove all day." Mrs. Duffy shook her head, and said, "he was a pooty craycher; 'twas more the pities that he ever went off in the wuds." Horace hung his head.
Remember the squirrel that joined out with us one time in the rep show and left 'East Lynne' flat right in the middle of the third act while he went down and announced the next night's play the one that his name was Eddie Duffy and he called himself Clyde Maltravers?"
