They come up for a day's fishin' all along of the illigant fishin' a party from the same place had one day last week I suppose;" and he smiled. "How was that, McGrath?" "It wor last week, sorr; and I wor up the river be meself, an' I had thirty illigant fish thrailin' undher the boat comin' down. It wor just where they are I seen two boats full of gintlemen, an' I dhropped alongside.
"I hope the sleighs won't come to-day," I cried; "we should be frozen on the long journey." About noon two sleighs turned into our clearing. Old Jenny ran screaming into the room, "The masther has sent for us at last! The sleighs are come! Fine large sleighs, and illigant teams of horses! Och, and it's a cowld day for the wee things to lave the bush."
"Well, Pater, you must do as you like," he said, laughing; "you're mighty welcome to come to our house and to stay there as long as you plase; at the same time that I see no reason at all, at all, why your dad shouldn't be glad to see such an illigant stock of game for his dinner."
We all laughed, and Dennis began to sing: "Oh, once we were illigant people, Though we now live in cabins of mud; And the land that ye see from the steeple, Belonged to us all from the flood. My father was then king of Connaught " "And mislaid his crown, I'll be bound!" shouted the lieutenant.
"Oh, by this and by that," the corporal grumbled on, "ould Lee's not the gintleman I tuk him for at all, at all, discomfortin' us in the rain, and yesterday an illigant day for fightin'. Couldn't he wait, like the dacint ould boy he's reported, for a dhry mornin', instead av turnin' his byes out in the shlush and destroyin' me chanst av breakfast? It's spring chickens I'd ordhered."
"And suppose he did, isn't he a-rollin' in gold?" "I'm poor," said Eliakim; "almost as poor as you, because I'm too liberal to my customers." "Hear till him!" said Mrs. McCarty. "He says he's liberal and only offers fifty cints for these illigant breeches." "Will you take them or leave them?" demanded the pawnbroker, impatiently.
A pressing invitation to their dwelling and to their hospitality was urged upon us in terms, and with looks, that I felt were the genuine offspring of kindness and generosity of soul. But I still demurred to leave my boat. When they understood the full force of my objection, my frieze-coated friend, who spoke the "illigant Inglis," explained. "O, by Jasus, and ain't she welcome intirely?
I tried to read a newspaper, but the cross-fire of talk forbade anything like attention. "Was ye wanting me, sorr?" "No, no. Never mind me, O'Brien. Attend to Mr. O'Moore. Can he manage with those things?" "He can, sorr. He looks illigant," replied O'Brien from the right-hand chamber.
He was full six feet high, he'd a cast in his eye, And an illigant brogue, an illigant brogue!" In both his wife's and his cousin's faces was the same look, the look that often comes into women's faces when, unperceived, they regard the sovereign creature.
And I've made me an illigant pig-sty, Well litter'd wid straw and wid hay; And it's there, free from noise of the chilther, I sleep in the heat of the day. It's there I'm intirely at aise, sir, And enjoy all the comforts of home; I stretch out my legs as I plase, sir, And dhrame of the pleasures to come.
