Every one knew Shaun Buie M'Gaveran to be the cleanest, best-conducted boy, and the most industrious too, in the whole parish of Faugh-a-ballagh. Hard was it to find a young fellow who could handle a flail, spade, or reaping-hook in better style, or who could go through his day's work in a more creditable or workmanlike manner.
"One Brine Oge M'Gaveran, a good-lookin' vagabone, no doubt, but not worth a copper." "Is she fond of him?" "Troth, to tell you the truth, I'm afeard she is; he has been often seen about the house in the evenin's." "Well, Mrs. Houlaghan, I will tell you how to lay this ghost."
"Well, then, here is the receipt for laying the ghost: Marry her as soon as you possibly can to Brine Oge M'Gaveran do that and the ghost will never appear again; but if you refuse to do it I may lay that ghost of course but another ghost, as like it as an egg is to an egg, will haunt your house until she is married to Brine Oge.
