Ah, green Erin, green Erin, what a day of glory! and oh, my calumniated dynamite, how triumphantly hast thou prevailed! Suddenly a shade crossed his face; and pausing in the middle of the footway, he consulted the dial of his watch. 'Good God! he cried, 'how mortifying! seven minutes too early!

'You want to have a last gaze over to Erin? 'No, it's to walk and feel the breeze. But I do, though. 'Won't you require a little rest? 'Sure and I've had it sitting here all night! said she. He laughed: the reason for the variation of exercise was conclusive.
"And a glen boy, too," said the seaman, speaking in a language wherein he knew himself more the equal of his master's daughter. "I told him of Erin O and the music in its streets, and he does not make fun of my telling like you, Miss Nan, because he understands."
