They play whist every evening and go away regular about ten. Missus let's 'em out themselves or else rings for me. Why, there's the bell now," and Mrs. Pill rose. "No! I go," said Susan, rising also. "Miss Loach told me to come when she rang."
"In the boat." "What ye got in that handkerchief?" "My dinner," replied Tom. "Won't you take a bite?" "What ye got?" "A piece of cold chicken and some bread." "We don't mind it now, sonny. Hev you seen any men with this gear on in these yere parts?" asked Jarvey, as he pointed to his uniform. "Yes, sir," replied Tom, vigorously. "Whar d'ye see 'em, sonny?"
Why don't he naturalise them in America? All the way was charming, the day very bright, and even warm, and the hill scenery picturesque at every turn. We looked out sharply for the hunt, but in vain.

'I'll give you a dram when we've got through, said he, affecting a sprightliness which sat on him most unhandsomely, 'and not a drop till then. Business first, and pleasure afterward.

She behaved like an unbroken filly at first, but soon striking her pace, turned out a capital goer, and took us on without turning a hair till her work was done. The weather continued to be good, but clouds rolled up around the horizon. "It'll always be bad weather," said our saturnine jarvey, "when the Judges come to hold court, and never be good again till they rise."
We made an early start from Dungloe on a capital car for Letterkenny, where we were to strike the railway for Strabane and Newtown-Stewart. The morning was clear, but cold.
