"I appale to this gintleman," said Father Peter turning to the stranger. "Are you a classical scholar, sir that is, do you understand Latin?" "What kind?" demanded the stranger dryly. "If you have read Corderius's Colloquies, it will do," said Father Peter. "No, sir," replied the other, "but I have read his commentator, Bardolphus, who wrote a treatise upon the Nasus Rubricundus of the ancients."
The redskin uttered a grunt of anger, no doubt suspecting that it was one of his own friends. As quick as lightning the Irishman drew back and struck a blow that stretched the warrior senseless. "I'll tache ye to be grunting around here when a gintleman runs again ye. Ye ought to be ashamed of yourself."
The little b'ys has their chance, too. And it's because Andy here takes as natural to bein' a gintleman as thim geese takes to squawkin'. Whether it's loikin' his book or what it is, he's the wan to have handy for the little b'ys to pattern by. As far as he's gone he knows, and he can't be beat in knowin' how to treat other folks nice.
"A man who can't mend a hole in his own donkey can never demean himself by patching up my great kettle." "Lord, sir!" said the tinker, archly, "if I had known that poor Neddy had had two sitch friends in court, I'd have seen he vas a gintleman, and treated him as sitch." "/Corpo di Bacco!/" quoth the doctor, "though that jest's not new, I think the tinker comes very well out of it."
I happened to be collecting a taste of oats, with the permission of my friend Doctor Corrigan here, for I'm but a poor friar, sir, and dropped in by mere accident; but, you know the hospitality of our country, Squire; and that's enough go they would not allow me, and I was mintioning to this young gintleman, your son, how we collected the oats, and he insisted on my calling a generous, noble child!
"A gintleman axed me which o' them I like best o' the two Home Rule Bills, an' I towld him that whin I lived at Ennis, an' drove a car at the station there, the visithors, Americans an' English, would be axin' me whin they lepped on the car which was the best hotel in Ennis.
When the horse was saddled, and Dionysius on his way with all due pomp to the Station, old Denis broke the matter to his wife. "Mave, achora," said,he, "I have sthrange news to tell you: sure Dionnisis is goin' to make himself a gintleman." "Sure what?" "Dionnisis, our son Dionnisis, is goin' to make himself a gintleman; he'll ate no longer widout a knife and fork."
* The devil; a familiar name for him when mentioned in connection with a villain. "They say," another would reply, "that the Colonel is a good gintleman for all that, an' that if he could once know the truth, he'd pitch the 'yallow boy' to the 'ould boy."
"What, D'Arcy! is that you?" shouted Philip, in return. "It's myself, unless I happen to be changed into another gintleman," was the Irish-like reply. "All right, old fellow, come along. I want your promised aid," said Philip. "I have some few cargoes of goods to be transported across the lake before the moon sets, and you are the very man I was wishing for."
Yes, you're right, Connor; if the meadow were light, you could certainly mow comparatively a greater space in a day." "Be the livin' farmer, God pardon me for swearin', it's a pleasure to have dalins wid a gintleman like you, that knows things as cute as if you war a mower yourself, your honor. Bedad, I'll go bail, sir, it wouldn't be hard to tache you that same."
