I've heard say that there are Indians, rattlesnakes, and panthers, and all sorts of wild beasts out in them parts, an' he'll be wantin' a steady man to be at hand to help him; and sure Tim Flanagan's the right person to be following his masther's son. So just say the word, capt'n dear, an' I'll be ready to march the moment I get the route."
Mother av Hivin! but I made that horse walk, an' we came into the Colonel's compound as the divil wint through Athlone in standin' leps. There was no one there excipt the sarvints, an' I wint round to the back an' found the girl's ayah. "'Ye black brazen Jezebel, sez I, 'sellin' your masther's honor for five rupees pack up all the Miss Sahib's kit an' look slippy!
I could not imagine what had happened. "Ninny's mad!" whispered Dunbar; "she's the old girl for making a noise." "Joy! joy!" bawled out the old woman, now running breathlessly towards us. "The masther's come the masther's come!" "Where? where!" "Jist above in the wood. Goodness gracious! I have run to let you know so fast that my heart is like to break."
"Sure it was only an hour ago while I was at me woorrck in the kitchen, and Jim rushes in and sez: 'For the love of God, if iver ye want to see a blessed cint of the money ye put in the masther's bank, off wid ye now and draw it out for there's a run on the bank!"

We'll hould our lodges every Saturday night, as we used to do, wid our chairman behind the masther's desk, and we'll hear our mass every Sunday morning wid the blessed priest standing afore the same. I wisht to goodness I hadn't parted wid my Seven Champions ov Christendom and Freney the Robber: they're books that'll be in great requist in Leithrim as soon as the pasthoral gets wind.
Any how, it's not be lettin' fellows into the masther's kitchen whiff the family's in bed, an' dhrinkin' whiskey wid them, that'll get you through the world wid your character safe. * An' you're nothin' but a barge, or you'd not dhraw down my sisther's name that never did you an ill turn, whatever she did to herself, poor girl!" "An' do you dar' for to call me a barge?
Mr Lynch will excuse me: we've known each other a long time." "Begorra, I don't know," said the girl, "only he's in bed and fast. Couldn't yer honer call agin about four or five o'clock? That's the time the masther's most fittest to be talking to the likes of yer honer." "These gentlemen could not wait," said the parson.
Why, if he goes on at this rate, I'm afraid he'll soon be too many for myself hem!" "Too many for yourself! Fill the masther's tumbler, Alley. Too many for yourself! No, no! I doubt he'll never see that day, bright as he is, an' cute. That's it put a hape upon it. Give me your hand, masther. I thank you for your attention to him, an' the boy is a credit to us. Come over, Michael, avourneen.

Oh, be me cowl, your face condimns you, my lady!" said Biddy, abruptly changing her tone; "it does, you yolla Mullatty, it does.
