'I'll 'ave the law on you all for breaking into my 'ouse like this, see if I don't. "'Where'd you get all this pork from? ses the blacksmith. "'And them ducks and hins? ses George Kettle.
"And the others are so forgetful," continued Mr. Smith. "Forgetful?" repeated the other. "Forget to lay, like," said Mr. Smith, musingly. "Never mind about them," said Mr. Miller, with some animation. "I want you to do something for me. If it comes off all right, I'll give you a dozen hins and a couple of decentish-sized pigs." Mr. Smith called a halt. "Decentish-sized" was vague.
The men touched their hats, and Captain Kenealy said: "Isn't it a boa, Miss Fountain? they won't let me do your little commission. In London they will go anywhere with a fellaa." "London ye knows," explained the assistant, "but this here is full of hins and houts, and folyidge."
Joyce, it's to-morrow, early mornin', you and me musht shtart for London!" Biddy looked up quickly. "To-morrow! the bhoy's crazy entoirely! It will be a week before I can go.

Nor for anybody else's!" "My soul an' body!" ejaculated a woman. "I hope they don't forgit to lock them cages up! Folks git awful careless when they do a thing every day! I forgot to shet up the hins last week, an' that was the night the skunk got in." "I'm glad Brad brought his gun," said another, in the tone of one who would have crossed herself had there been a saint to help.
No practical proposals were, however, made for actually developing such organizations. The interesting part of the discussion came upon the function of trade unionism in future society. The socialists were little concerned as to what might happen to the trade unions in future society, but Professor Hins outlined at that congress the program of the modern syndicalists.
