Graul Skellet loves not wenches who have lords for their feres, and yet who shrink from Graul and her sisters as the sound from the leper." "Fegs," answered the friar, impatiently, "I know naught against the daughter, a pretty lass, but too high for my kisses. And as for the father, I want not the man's life, that is, not very specially, but his model, his mechanical.
"Fegs! ye're no the gowk I took ye for," said Donal meditatively. Whether Gibbie took the remark for a compliment, or merely was gratified that Donal was pleased, the result was a merry laugh.

There was something bitter and sneering in the Traveller's aspect as he now, regarding Dealtry, repeated "Vagrant humph! And pray what is a vagrant?" "What is a vagrant?" echoed Peter, a little puzzled. "Yes! answer me that." "Why, a vagrant is a man what wanders, and what has no money."
"Fegs," cried a voice through the jar of the door, "there is no need for Freddy to bear ye out in that. You have only to look at the carpet under the legs of your chair. It has gotten a tairgin', as if all the hosts of King Pharaoh had trampled over it down to the Red Sea!" But I would not keep the old man any longer in suspense.

'An excellent gun entirely, sais Pat, 'but it tante made like the rifles we have. "Ain't they strange critters, them Irish, Squire?
"Feared at Johnnie Bykes, my lord! Ha! ha!" "You threatened him a minute ago, and now, when I give you leave to thrash him, you decline the honour!" "The disgrace, my lord. He's an aulder man, an' no abune half the size. But fegs! gien he says anither word agen my gran'father, I will gin 's neck a bit thaw" "Well, well, be off with you both," said the marquis rising.
But I can offer ye something better than the berth of ship's boy; we have but one carpenter among us, and I will gladly take you on with the rating of carpenter's mate, if that will suit ye.
