She shook the broom at her, but old Speckle wasn't a bit afraid of Grannie; she didn't move. Then Grannie Malone put the broom under her and tried to lift her from her perch, but old Speckle had made up her mind to stay.

It's likely the police were after them." They went back to the road, and the Twins got up again on Colleen's back, and soon they had reached the near end of the bog. Mr McQueen stopped. "I'll be cutting the turf here," he said, "and the two of you can go on to Grannie Malone's with the donkey, and bring back the jug with yourselves. Get along with you," and he gave the donkey a slap.
At last Larry said, "You go on with yourself to Grannie Malone's for the jug, Eileen, and I'll stay here until she finishes the thistles." So he sat down by the road on a stone and Eileen trotted off to Grannie's. When Eileen got back with the jug, she found Larry still sitting beside the road. He was talking with a freckled-faced boy, and Colleen's head was still in the thistles.
Malone declined to make any change, and as a last resort it was decided to evict him. On the auspicious day MacAdam arrived from Limerick, accompanied by two men from Dublin, whom he proposed to instal as caretakers in Malone's house.

Malone's secretary on the 'phone," announced the young man. "Mr. Malone wants to know if you can come at once to his office." "Tell Mr. Malone" Burton snapped his words out irritably "that if he wants to find me I will be here in my own office for just thirty minutes." The employee hesitated in momentary embarrassment, then he added: "Of course, you know that I mean J.J. Malone himself, sir?"
He said it quick enough, all right, jest the way they does in a show, but it sounded TOO MUCH like it does on the stage to of suited me if I'D been her. I seen folks overdo them little talks before this. I listens some more, and then I sees how it is. This is that musician feller Biddy Malone's been talking about. Jane's going to run off with him all right, but she's got to kiss the kids first.
Can't a man give vent to his feelings once in his life without being caught up and held to it by every old school-teacher that's stumbled into the 'show-business' by mistake! We're going right on with this play, I tell you; we rehearse it to-morrow morning just the same as if this hadn't happened. Only there will be a new 'ingenue' in Miss Malone's place.
Opposite to him, but squatted upon the floor, reposed a red Indian, that lived in the Fort as a guide, equally drunk, but preserving, even in his liquor, an impassive, grave aspect, strangely contrasting with the high excitement of Malone's face.
In point of fact, it appears that Shakspeare did owe debts in all directions, and was able to use whatever he found; and the amount of indebtedness may be inferred from Malone's laborious computations in regard to the First, Second, and Third parts of Henry VI., in which, "out of 6043 lines, 1771 were written by some author preceding Shakspeare; 2373 by him, on the foundation laid by his predecessors; and 1899 were entirely his own."
Croker, who knew him, says that 'he was very convivial, and in other respects like his father though altogether on a smaller scale. He edited a new edition of Malone's Shakespeare. He died in 1822.
