If they did so, and if they were acquainted with the character of the Irish when in their native land, they would agree with my cook, herself a Kelt of Kelts, who says that Irishmen are leather, good leather, but fit only for the sole, and not for the uppers. "I used to regard Mr. Gladstone as an honest man. Now I think otherwise.
The main controversy that is concerned with sea-trout is whether or no the fish captured in early spring are clean fish or well-mended kelts. On the whole, as sea-trout seldom run before May, the majority of opinion inclines to their being kelts. Non-migratory Salmonidae.
"I arranged and harmonized them and, oddly enough, the result is rather Keltic, don't you think?" "We are all of us Kelts in our welcome to music and musicians like this," affirmed Lord Plowden, who had scrambled to his feet. With sudden resolution, Thorpe moved forward and joined the conversation.
In the first place, it has been proved once for all that the languages spoken by the Hindus, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Kelts, Slaves, and Teutons are all descended from a single ancestral language, the Old Aryan, in the same sense that French, Italian, and Spanish are descended from the Latin.

You confounded second-sighted Kelts one never knows where you are! But next week I'll give you a written examination.
They have led a dog and cat life from the first, and if the Scots have thriven while the Kelts have made little progress, it is because the Scots have been favoured by the English Government, which is composed of Teutons like themselves. Let the Scots stick to England. It suits them, it does not suit us. The Welsh don't like you either, but they have not the pluck to spit it out.
