Trinder belongs to the class who are known in Ireland as "Half-sirs". You couldn't say he was a gentleman, and he himself wouldn't have tried to say so. Robert was delighted to see me, and I had had a whisky-and-soda and been shown two or three more hound puppies before it occurred to him to introduce me to his aunt.
All the respectable farmers and bodaghs, as they call them, or half-sirs in the parish, were in attendance, as a mark of, respect for the virtues of the deceased, and of esteem for the integrity and upright spirit of the family that had been deprived of her so unexpectedly.
"What a fine man he is!" one would whisper, loud enough, however, to be heard by the object of his panegyric. "He is, indeed, and a rale gintleman," another would respond in the same key. "Hut! he's none of your proud, stingy upsthart bodagahs* none of your beggarly half-sirs*," a third would remark: "he's the dacent thing entirely you see he hasn't his heart in a thrifle."
