"He's like the Irishman's flea," Grandma scolded, "and that gang he's running with are young scalawags." "Dick hasn't a lick of sense," Daddy agreed worriedly. "I'll have to tan him, if he keeps on lighting out every night. That gang set fire to a hop rack last week. They'll be getting into real trouble." "Dick thinks he's a man, now he's earning his share of the living," Grandpa reminded them.
Louis to Astoria. On the Green River they had been attacked by a war-party of the Black-feet, who had killed all except them, thanks to the Irishman's presence of mind, who pushed his fat companion into a deep fissure of the earth, and jumped after him. Thus they saved their bacon, and had soon the consolation of hearing the savages carrying away the goods, leading the mules towards the north.
Tom had wondered what strafing was, until long afterward he heard that poor Belgium was being strafed; and then he knew. "Wal, ef 'tain't Tommy Slade!" said Pete, with a cordial grin of surprise. "I ain't seen ye in two year! Ye've growed ter be a big, strappin' lad, ain't ye?" "Hello, Pete," said Tom, shaking the Irishman's brawny hand. "Glad to see you.

An' maybe if Osman wint he'd Hallo!" A flash of light and whistling of bullets overhead effectually stopped the Irishman's discourse.
Vincent attempted to turn his head aside. "Look at me, man!" McCarthy commanded. "Kape yer eyes on me when ye do it." Unwillingly the sideward movement was arrested, and his eyes returned and met the Irishman's. "Now!" St. Vincent ground his teeth and pulled the trigger at least he thought he did, as men think they do things in dreams.
And yet not a hostile Indian has been seen; not one, even as distant vedette, has appeared in range of the binoculars, since the scouts rode in at daybreak to say that big bands were in the immediate neighborhood. It has been a long, hard summer's work for the troops, and the Indians have been, to all commands that boasted strength or swiftness, elusive as the Irishman's flea of tradition.
Her uncle's attentiveness incited her to describe the scene, and as it visibly relieved his melancholy, she did it with a few vivid indications of the quaint young Irishman's manner of speech. She concluded: 'At last he begged to see a portrait of her husband. 'Not of her? said Mr. Adister abruptly. 'No; only of her husband. 'Show him her portrait.
"The fight was pretty hot while it lasted, but we were all as cool as Liffy water, and smoked cigarettes while the shells shrieked blue murder over our heads," is an Irishman's account of the effect of the big German guns. The noise of battle especially the roar of artillery is described in several letters.
The sheen of the linen and the white cravat, the unpolished silver of the decorations, the softness of the thin, grayish hair, gave added pallor to the face, the most bloodless of all the bloodless faces assembled that evening under the Irishman's roof. He led such a terrible life!
This caused that wonderful jump of his which had surprised me so much, himself all the more, too, the heavy fall he had on the deck afterwards having knocked him senseless for the time and, indeed, bruised him very considerably. Macan, though, had all an Irishman's pluck, and would not give in.
