He was not aware, however, that Briney had kept that place open during the preceding part of the week, in order to effect this point. Father Philemy, however, was now beginning to relate another anecdote to the Captain, and the thread of his narrative twined rather ludicrously with that of the examination. Briney, after, a few hems, at length proceeded "Gallus Gallinaceus, a dung-hill cock "
"Says he, 'Hut tut, Branagan, says I 'you're drunk. 'That's the thing, sir' says Branagan, 'and I want to explain it all to your Reverence. 'Well, said I, 'go on " "Gallus Gallinaceus, a dunghill cock "
"Is that Latin or Greek, Briney?" "It's Latin, Phaddhy." "And what's the translation of that?" "It signifies the Fables of AEsiopius." "Bliss my sowl! and Briney, did ye consther that out of yer own head?" "Hogh! that's little of it. If ye war to hear me consther Gallus Gallinaceus, a dunghill cock?" "And, Briney, are ye in Greek at all yet?"
"So, Captain, I was just after coming out of Widow Moylan's it was in the Lammas fair and a large one, by the by, it was so, sir, who should come up to me but Branagan. 'Well, Branagan, said I, 'how does the world go now with you? " "Gallus Gallinaceus, a dunghill cock " "Says he. 'And how is that? says I. "Gallus Gallinaceus "
"Says he, Let your Gallus Gallinaceus go to roost for this night, Con," said Father Philemy, who did not relish the interruption of his story; "I say, Phaddhy, send the boy to bed, and bring him down in your hand to my house on Saturday morning, and we will both examine him, but this is no time for it, and me engaged in conversation with Captain Wilson.
On the other hob sits Briney, hard at his syntax, with the Fibulae AEsiopii, as he called it, placed open at a particular passage, on the seat under him, with a hope that, when Philemy will examine him, the book may open at his favorite fable of "Gallus Gallinaceus a dung-hill cock."
