Lord Alfred, I'm sorry we haven't a lady for you to take in, but Father McCormack will show you the way." "If this business gets into the papers," said Lord Alfred, "the Freeman's Journal will make capital of it, and the Irish Times will say the Government must resign at once. Can't we square the reporters?" "There aren't any," said Dr. O'Grady, "unless Gallagher's been taking notes. Come along."
Oh, if it had but plased Heaven to have cast me my lot in the sarvice of a raal jantleman or lady instead of the likes of these! Now, I'd rather be a dog in his honour's or her honour's house than lie under the tongue, of Miss Gallagher, as I do to say nothing of ould Christy. Miss GALLAGHER'S voice heard, calling, Biddy!

It was the only newspaper published within a radius of forty miles from Ballymoy. It could therefore be quite truthfully called the principal one. Mr. Billing shook Thady Gallagher's hand again.

It was read, as all Gallagher's articles were, with respectful attention. Everybody expected to find out by reading it who the General was. Everyone felt, as he read it, or listened to it read aloud, that he was learning all he wanted to know, and did not discover until he came to talk the matter over afterwards with his friends that he knew no more when he had read the article than he did before.

I'm a friend of Sabina's. I'm the chief, if not the only friend Sabina has in Ballymoy, I daresay she's told you that herself." "She has not then; for I didn't see her this last week only the once."
He was as proud of his find as if it had been a bar of gold. We were all excited. The bottle was passed from hand to hand. "We're getting warm," I cried. "This is the spot. Remember that every mother's son of you shares what we find. Five dollars to the man that first touches treasure." There was a cheer. The men fell to work with renewed vigor. Presently Gallagher's spade hit something solid.
"How does a person train in a room?" "Why, he just trains, that's all. A guy can't train without trainin'-quarters, can he?" "We thought it would make a nice gymnasium," offered Miss Blake.
