'He's wan iv th' gr-reatest surgeons iv our time, he says, 'an' can cure annything fr'm pips to glanders, he says. Th' famous Doctor Honeycooler was summoned.

It was good luck that they had not been grubbing in their gardens as you lets 'em do, ma'am, but they was all as clean as a whistle, a picking up horse-chestnuts under the big tree at the corner of the bowling green, when out on the steps we sees him, looking more like an angel than a man, in his red coat, and the goold things on his shoulders, and out he comes!
"But, faith, whin I'd been here a week, I seen that there was nawthin' but mud undher th' pavement, I larned that be means iv a pick-axe at tin shillin's th' day, an' that, though there was plenty iv goold, thim that had it were froze to it; an' I come west, still lookin' f'r mines.

Hyacinth saw that he held a large stone in it. 'You are a cowardly blackguard, Shea, he yelled 'a damned, cowardly blackguard! Would you strike a woman?
