'Ah, then, Masther Robert, an' we're done wid the poor ould counthry for good an' all! Andy Callaghan's big bony hands are clasped in a tremor of emotion that would do honour to a picturesque Italian exile. 'The beautiful ould counthry, as has the greenest grass that ever grew, an' the clearest water that ever ran, an' the purtiest girls in the wide world!
I don't know much about books, but if Masther Jerry's as good at edjication as he is wid his fists, then all I've got to say is that he's some perfessor. I've been workin' wid him on an' off these four year an' all I'd loike to say to you, gents, is just this: Don't crowd him, don't crowd him, gents, because he's got an uppercut like a ton o' coal."
"Ay, an' a very good masther he is," replied the spokesman of the segment; "gives plenty of employment anyhow although the pay's no great shakes an' that's more than some that abuses him does." "There's no one aboosin' him here, my good friend, so don't imegine it at leest I should be extremely sorry to do so. I respect himself and his family in a very elevated manner, I assoore you.
When Mike saw me, he exclaimed, "Run, Masther Roger, run! sure, don't you hear the shrieks of the Indians? They will have the scalps off our heads, if we don't show them our heels, before many minutes are over." I burst out laughing, and pointed to our two companions, who, however, at that moment bobbed down and hid themselves among the rushes.
Sure it's a good man's case; but I'll tell you more; you must know the misthress's wig took fire this mornin', and she was within an inch of havin' the house in flames. Ah, it's she that blew a regular breeze, threatened to make the masther and the other two take to their travels from about the house and place, and settle the same house and place upon Mr. Harry."
"I am right, I say: I remember it well, for although I wasn't there myself, my father was, an' I often h'ard him say God rest his sowl!" here he reverently took off his hat and looked upwards "I often h'ard him say that Paddy Keenan gave Mullin the first knock-down blow, an' Pether I mane no disrespect, but far from it give us your hand, man alive you're going to be married upon my shisther to-morrow, plaise God! masther, you'll come, remimber? you'll be as welcome as the flowers o' May, masther so, Pether, as I was sayin' I mane no offince nor disrespect to you or yours, for you are, an' ever was, a daisent family, an' well able to fight your corner when it came upon you but still, Pether an' for all that I say it an' I'll stand to it I'll stand it that's the chat! that, man for man, there never was one o' your seed, breed, or generation able to fight a Keenan that's the chat! here's luck!
"The priest would like them roasted, but I couldn't undherstand that. No; put down the sign o' the horsewhip, or the cudgel; for he's handy, an' argues well wid both?" "Good! I'll put down the horsewhip first, an' the cudgel alongside of it; then the tumbler, an' there'll be the sign o' the priest." "Ay, do, Masther, an' faix the priest 'll be complate there can be no mistakin' him thin.
Here, take what's in this tumbler, an' finish it. Be a good boy and mind your lessons, an' do everything the masther here the Lord bless him! bids you; an' you'll never want a frind, masther, nor a dinner, nor a bed, nor a guinea, while the Lord spares me aither the one or the other." "I know it, Mr. Lanigan, I know it; and I will make that boy the pride of Ireland, if I'm spared.
When she war gone, the masther he soon come back into the house, and begun calling for the sperrits again, like mad; and Terry said that when he tuk the biling wather into the room, Mr Barry war just like the divil as he's painted, only for his ears. After that Terry wint to bed; and I and Judy weren't long afther him, for we didn't care to be sitting up alone wid him, and he mad dhrunk.
"Or would it do to kill that blackguard Hogan? sure they could do no more than hang me afther, and that would save the masther, and be all one to me, for they often towld me I'd be hanged.
