Do you understand?" "Perrfectly, sirr!" replied the Sergeant, outwardly calm. "M'Gurk, do you understand?" M'Gurk looked at Bobby, and then round at Sergeant M'Micking. He received a glance which shrivelled his marrow. The game was up. He grinned sheepishly, and answered, "Yis, sirr!"
However, chance guides us to the Signal dug-out of "A" Company, where, by the best fortune in the world, Private M'Gurk in person is installed as officiating sprite. Let us render ourselves invisible, sit down beside him, and "tap" his wire.
Och man, you're dhrownded entirely; 'tis a mighty soft evenin' it's turnin' out." "And here's Katty lookin' out for you this great while," Big Anne would say, "she's finely this evenin', glory be to goodness." Affairs were much in this posture, when the widow M'Gurk was one day perplexed by the occurrence of two small incidents.
M'Gurk, jubilantly, "it's Ody Rafferty himself. To your sowls! Now you've a great good chance, ma'am, to be gettin' it back. He's the boy 'ill leg it over all before him" for in those days Ody was lithe and limber "and it's hard-set the thievin' Turk 'ill be to get the better of him at a racin' match Hi Och."
Ody himself was leaning against the wall, critically examining Brian Kilfoyle's blackthorn, and forming a poor opinion of it with considerable satisfaction. Not that he bore Brian any ill-will, but because this is his method of attaining to contentment with his own possessions. "Whethen now and is it yourself that's in it, Ody Rafferty?" said Mrs. M'Gurk, as she recognised him.

"But the best of it is," he went on, "do you mind, ma'am" he looked round him suspiciously and lowered his voice "the leather pouch you might ha' seen wid me the other day?" "Whoo!" said Mrs. M'Gurk, "are they after takin' that on you? Sure, man, I thought you had it unbeknownst."
