But the Irish courtesy, praised by Father McCor-mack, prevailed against the general feeling of disappointment. When Mr. Billing ceased speaking there was a moment of doubtful silence. No one quite realised that he had really stopped. He had indeed descended from his chair, and, except for the top of his head, was invisible to most of the audience.
"Order, gentlemen, order," said Father McCor-mack, nervously tapping the table with his pencil. "With regard to the illuminated address," said Doyle, "I'm of opinion that the carrying out of it should be given into the hands of a Dublin firm. It's our duty to support Irish manufacture. There's too much money sent over to England that might be far better kept at home.
"What I'm trying to get you to see is that Mary Ellen may just as well step into the position as anyone else." "When you put it that way," said Father McCor-mack, "there's no more to be said. The girl's a decent girl, and I wouldn't stand in the way of her bettering herself." "She'll be the better by a new dress, anyway!" said the Major. "I don't know that she'll benefit in any other way.

"My friend Mr. Doyle," said Dr. O'Grady, "has a proposal to lay before the meeting. Where's that card, Doyle, that you showed me last week?" Doyle drew a bundle of grimy papers from his breast pocket and went through them slowly.
"It would, maybe, be better," said Father McCor-mack, "if you were to do it, doctor. We'll all be sorry that the words don't come from the accomplished pen of our respected fellow citizen, Mr. Gallagher " "I'll not do it," said Gallagher, "for I wouldn't know what to say." "Write it out and have done with it, O'Grady," said the Major. "What's the good of keeping us sitting here all day?"
