"I am in great trouble this day, sir," said Meehawl, "and if you would give me an advice I'd be greatly beholden to you." "I can give you that," replied the Philosopher. "None better than your honour and no trouble to you either.
The Philosopher drew his chair closer to Meehawl. "Daughters," said he, "have been a cause of anxiety to their parents ever since they were instituted. The flightiness of the female temperament is very evident in those who have not arrived at the years which teach how to hide faults and frailties, and, therefore, indiscretions bristle from a young girl the way branches do from a bush."
"Did you happen to look at your goats?" "I couldn't well help doing that," said Meehawl. "What were they doing?" said the Philosopher eagerly. "They were bucking each other across the field, and standing on their hind legs and cutting such capers that I laughed till I had a pain in my stomach at the gait of them." "This is very interesting," said the Philosopher.
We should seek, therefore, not how to make ourselves clean, but how to attain a more unique and splendid dirtiness, and perhaps the accumulated layers of matter might, by ordinary geologic compulsion, become incorporated with the human cuticle and so render clothing unnecessary " "About that washboard," said Meehawl, "I was just going to say " "It doesn't matter," said the Philosopher.
After a few minutes the Thin Woman spoke again. "I can get the reek of his pipe from here. Let you go right in to him now and I'll stay outside for a while, for the sound of your two voices would give me a pain in my head." "Whatever will please you will please me, ma'am," said her companion, and he went into the little house. Meehawl MacMurrachu had good reason to be perplexed.
"I haven't got any money," said the Leprecaun, "for Meehawl MacMurrachu of the Hill stole our crock a while back, and he buried it under a thorn bush. I can bring you to the place if you don't believe me." "Very good," said Shawn. "Come on with me now, and I'll clout you if you as much as wriggle; do you mind me?" "What would I wriggle for?" said the Leprecaun: "sure I like being with you."
Health with you," she added, and strode away. "Health with yourself, Noble Woman," said the Leprecaun, and he stood on one leg until she was out of sight and then he slid down into the hole again. When the Thin Woman was going back through the pine wood she saw Meehawl MacMurrachu travelling in the same direction and his brows were in a tangle of perplexity.
By reason of this incident the fame of the Philosopher became even greater than it had been before, and also by reason of it many singular events were to happen with which you shall duly become acquainted. IT SO happened that the Leprecauns of Gort na Cloca Mora were not thankful to the Philosopher for having sent Meehawl MacMurrachu to their field.
"Is he one of the old gods, sir?" said Meehawl. "He is," replied the Philosopher, "and his coming intends no good to this country. Have you any idea why he should have captured your daughter?" "Not an idea in the world." "Is your daughter beautiful?" "I couldn't tell you, because I never thought of looking at her that way. But she is a good milker, and as strong as a man.
"It's true enough," said Meehawl. "Have you noticed, sir, that in a litter of pups " "I have not," said the Philosopher. "Certain trades and professions, it is curious to note, tend to be perpetuated in the female line. The sovereign profession among bees and ants is always female, and publicans also descend on the distaff side.
