"Indeed, sir, I think you ought to know that; I'm ignorant o' what 'ud make a dacent weddin'. We don't intend to get married undher a hedge; we've frinds an both sides, an' of course, we must have them about us, plase Goodness." "Be gorra, sir, it's no wondher I'm fond of her, the darlin'? Bad win to you, Mrs. Doran, how did you come over me at all?"
"Well," continued he, as he threw down the boot and brush, and, placing his hands in his pockets, strutted across the floor with an air of independence "Gorra Mighty, dem is de parts for Pompey; and I hope when you get dare you will stay, and nebber follow dat buckra back to dis hot quarter no more, let him be eber so good."
This question was repeated perhaps a dozen times without an answer, when the patience of Zeb becoming exhausted, he shuffled to the window and pressed his head forward, exclaiming: "Gorra mighty, whar am dey?" "Hist! there is one now yes, two of them!" "Whar whar?" "Keep your mouth shut," interrupted the young man, his vexation causing him to speak louder than he intended. "Heigh! dat's him!
Wid two sich lips o' your own, an' two sich eyes o' your own, an' two sich cheeks o' your own! Oh, , by the tarn, that won't pass." "Well, an' supposin' I had behave Phelim supposin' I had, where's the harm? Sure it's well known all the sweethearts, you had, an' have yet, I suppose."

"I am afraid you will soon have your last adventure," said Leland. "Gorra! does you s'pose dat dey'd dare to shake a stick at me when I's mad." "I think they were engaged at that when I came up." "Well, dat you see is a mistake."
He was a good marksman, and the shot was as effective as the other. "Gorra mighty!" he exclaimed, "I can dodge dar lead. Didn't I pick dat darkey off awful nice? Just wait till I load ag'n." Chuckling over his achievements, he proceeded to prime his rifle.
Poor man, it'll take the fear out of his heart. Now can he depind on you, Phelim?" "Why, all I can say is, that we'll get ourselves called on Sunday next. Let himself, sure, send some one to autorise the priest to call us. An' now that's all settled, don't I desarve somethin'? Oh, be gorra, surely."
Several of the scholars rose up simultaneously to speak to him; but the pedagogue angrily inquired why they had left their seats and their business. "Why, sir," said a young Munsterman, with a fine Milesian face "be gorra, sir, I believe if we don't welcome the poor scholar, I think you won't. This is the boy, sir, that Mr. O'Brien came along wid yistherday, an' spoke so well of."
"Then there must be some mistake," replied the fellow, who was a stranger; "and as it's a runaway match, by gorra, it would never do to give the girl to the wrong person. It was Masther Dick that the Prophet desired us to inquire for." "There is a mistake, my friend; there is my name, my good fellow, happens to be Master Richard, or rather Mister Richard.
"I didn't aim at it, and consequently it ain't been hit," returned Kent, with an air of assurance. "Yonder it is this moment!" As these words were uttered, it again appeared, and to the amazement of all, called out to them: "Gorra! what you wastin' your bullets on dis nigger's head for? Reckoned Kent knowed better." The hunter seemed on the point of falling from laughter.
