"Who was this traveller?" "I never saw him," said Meehawl, "but one day I went a few perches up the hill and I heard him playing thin, squeaky music it was like you'd be blowing out of a tin whistle. I looked about for him everywhere, but not a bit of him could I see." "Eh?" said the Philosopher. "I looked about " said Meehawl. "I know," said the Philosopher.
A proverb will run where a writ will not, and the follies of our forefathers are of greater importance to us than is the well-being of our posterity." "I wouldn't say a word against that, sir," said Meehawl MacMurrachu. "Cats are a philosophic and thoughtful race, but they do not admit the efficacy of either water or soap, and yet it is usually conceded that they are cleanly folk.
"Did you ever hear," said Meehawl, "of the man that had the scalp of his head blown off by a gun, and they soldered the bottom of a tin dish to the top of his skull the way you could hear his brains ticking inside of it for all the world like a Waterbury watch?" "I did not," said the Philosopher. "Thirdly, it may " "It's my daughter, Caitilin, sir," said Meehawl humbly.
I have often fancied that fish are a dirty, sly, and unintelligent people this is due to their staying so much in the water, and it has been observed that on being removed from this element they at once expire through sheer ecstasy at escaping from their prolonged washing." "I have seen them doing it myself," said Meehawl.
PURSUANT to his arrangement with Meehawl MacMurrachu, the Philosopher sent the children in search of Pan.

Meehawl MacMurrachu crooked his thumb at space, "Where is the other one?" said he. "Ah!" said the Philosopher. "He might be outside, maybe?" "He might, indeed," said the Philosopher gravely. "Well, it doesn't matter," said the visitor, "for you have enough knowledge by yourself to stock a shop. The reason I came here to-day was to ask your honoured advice about my wife's washing-board.
But how will your honour get at Angus? for I heard say that he hadn't been seen for a hundred years, except one night only when he talked to a man for half an hour on Kilmasheogue." "I'll find him, sure enough," replied the Philosopher. "I'll warrant you will," replied Meehawl heartily as he stood up. "Long life and good health to your honour," said he as he turned away.
