"Indade, Miss Jessie," said Katie a little later, her face in a pucker, "indade it's not right for the loikes af yees to be here all alone." "Why, Katie, what's the matter," laughed the girl; "you don't call this being alone, do you?" "Ah, but haven't yees heard the quare noises in the tower, Miss Jessie?
Allow me to till ye, Misther Paydro Carvalho an' be the powers it's a sin ag'in the blessed Saint Pater to name such an ugly thafe as ye afther him that I'll pipe down to grub whin I loikes widout axin y'r laive or license. Jist ye look sharp, d'ye hear, an' git us somethin' to ate at once!"
"A throifle," said the chief. "I had a frind that learned me a few sintincis av it; so I doesn't moind spakin it, as it'll be more convaynient for both av us. Ye must know, thin, that, in the first place, I lamint the necessichood that compils me to arrest the loikes av you, but I've got arders from me military shupariors, an' I've got to obey thim, so I have.
The tramp leaned forward, his eyes fastened on the bloodshot eyes of the drink-compounder, and in an earnest tone, asked: "Is he a bye that could crack a plant with the loikes o' me?" Impressed with the tone and manner of the tramp, the bar-keeper gazed quickly around the room, and in a still lower tone, replied: "He's on a lay himself. Would you like to go his pal?"
"Did ye iver see the loikes av that?" she said in a low voice. "She'd draw the badgers out av their holes with thim songs av hers. And thim little divils have been all the mornin' a-fightin' and a-scrappin' loike Kilkenny cats." "An' look at Patsy," said her husband, with wonder and pity in his eyes. "Yis, ye may say that, for it's the cantankerous little curmudgeon he is, poor little manny."
Sam was the first to thoroughly understand them, and so in the richest brogue of his own green isle, which we will not try to produce in all its perfection, he said: "Och, thin, it's roight ye are, av course. An' wasn't it too bad intoirely, the spalpeen to the loikes of you, an' he too an Englishman! Shure, thin, an' didn't he fire the powther through downright invy.
"Thin it wur his ghost, fer Oi saw him, with his face pale an' a whoite bandage about his head. This is me punishmint fer havin' fer havin' anything to do wid th' loikes av him!"

O'Callaghan, in a tremble of eagerness and apprehension, "who do you think was here the mornin'?" "Sure and I couldn't guess, mother dear. You'll have to be tellin' me." "And so I will," was the prompt reply. "'Twas Mrs. Gineral Brady, then. And she loikes your work that well, Pat, she wants you to go to her house to live." At first the boy looked bewildered.
"An' is it the polace ye'd be a-callin' in?" she burst forth volubly, reproach and indignation written upon the round red face she turned upon Miss Norma, "the polace? An' would ye be turnin' over the darlin' to the loikes of thim, to be locked up along with thaves an' murtherers afore night?"
Willyum, yu're mother ought to be proud ov yez. Sure an' oi'll pay the rint: oi'd clane forgotten this was the day, but oi've some money by me, bhoy, an' yez can have it."
