Convinced, may-be, that our own case was no better than theirs, the men, in desperation, and cramped with long confinement in the boats, now pushed their bows into the swirling waters; and following each other, as sheep will follow a leader, they climbed out upon the barren rocks and lay there in a state of dejection defying words. Nor had we any heart to turn upon them and drive them off.
He even urged secrecy upon Sylvia as a personal favour; unwilling to encounter the silent blame which he openly affected to despise. 'We'll noane fret thy mother by lettin' on how oft he came and went. She'll, may-be, be thinkin' he were for speakin' to thee, my poor lass; an' it would put her out a deal, for she's a woman of a stern mind towards matteremony.
'Tis that, Oliver, which kills me, that ignis fatuus of false hope Were she even married, if her husband were not immortal, I feel as if my heart would still dwell and feed on the meagre May-be! It refuses to renounce her, and makes a thousand and a thousand efforts to oblige me again to urge its just claims. I am in the labyrinth of contradictions, and know not how to get out.
Why, Charley, my lad! how beest ta? who'd ha' thought o' seeing thee i' these parts again! Nay, missus, nay, t' new year mun find its way int' t' house by itsel' for me; for a ha' promised my oud woman to bring Sylvie whoam as quick as may-be; she's lyin' awake and frettin' about t' snow and what not.
'I told him I'd help him all as I could 'Thou did, did thou? Well, well, there's nought sa queer as folks, that a will say, muttered Alice, between her teeth. but that fancy had three parts to do wi' love, continued Philip, 'and it would be hard, may-be, to get a reason for her not fancying him.
We're all friends here, Kelly, you know; and you needn't mind my telling Mr Blake. Here's this fellow going to elope with an heiress from Connaught, and he wants a decently honest lawyer first." "I should have thought," said Blake, "that an indecently dishonest clergyman would have suited him better under those circumstances." "May-be he'll want that, too, and I've no doubt you can recommend one.
The little shop at Dunmore'll be no place for Mrs Kelly, when there's a lady of the name with £400 a-year of her own." "'Deed then, John, and that's what I don't know. May-be I'll build up the ould house at Toneroe; some of the O'Kellys themselves lived there, years ago." "I believe they did; but it was years ago, and very many years ago, too, since they lived there.

I knew what he meant all right; but the others didn't, and Peter Bligh, he must come in with his foolishness. "They're mortal rare in these parts," said he; "I've come across many things in the Pacific, but anyskeptics isn't one of 'em. May-be he'll not need 'em, Dolly.
I have seen the countess, but it was long ago." "May-be it was when the young lady was at home. Oh! them were blithe times, when young Lord Hope came a courting, and we could see them driving like turtle doves through the park and down the village; or, walking along by the hedges and gathering hyacinths and violets. It was a sorry time, though, when he took her away for good and all."
"She's nothin' to me, and I don't know as she's iver like to be." "May-be not." "But, tell me, Martin was there anything said between you and Moylan about Anty before she come down here?"
