"We can't help where he was born or what he knows! he was on our land!" "He is the Macruadh's keeper, and was on his own land. You will get yourselves into trouble!" "We'll take our chance!"

For every fair day's work you shall have a fair day's wages, and, for every bit of idleness, a fair thrashing. Do you agree?" The youth pretended to laugh the thing off, but slunk away, and was seen no more till eating time arrived, and "Lady Macruadh's" well-filled baskets were opened. "And who wouldn't see a better coat on his chief!" cried the little tailor.
