"If you like to look at the fair face of a handsome lad " "I do thin, Misthress O'Hara." "Must not she like it also?" "I'll go bail she likes it," said the priest. "And what will come next?" "I'll tell you what it is, Misthress O'Hara. Would you want to keep her from even seeing a man at all?" "God forbid." "It's not the way to make them happy, nor yet safe.
'And oh, dear, and how in the world will the poor little misthress ever live over the news? And so forth, made a principal part of their talk. There was a good accompaniment of wind outside, and a soft pelting of snow on the window panes, 'and oh, my dear life, but wasn't it dark!
"Give it first to the captin, misthress," said Chane, pointing to me; "sarve all ayqually, but respict rank." The woman understood the sign, and handed me the jar. I drank copiously, passing it to my comrades, Clayley and Raoul.

Father Marty looked up into her face as though he did not understand her. "If I were alone, as you are, I could afford, like you, to indulge in the pleasure of a bright face. Only in that case he would not care to let me see it."

'In the shape of father-in-law, I mane, sir, says Tim: 'the misthress is going to take on with Mister Jowls the praacher.
Van Buren was too kind to let her astonishment be seen by her little serving-man. She said that possibly it might be so arranged.

Mehan, and all the boys and girls one after another, got up, and ducked their heads down in token of kindly welcome to the "young misthress and her lover;" and though most of those present, at other times, would have said that it was a pity their own Miss Feemy should be marrying "a born inimey of the counthry, like a Revenue officer, and a black Prothestant too," it wasn't now, when she had come to honour the wedding of one of themselves, that they would be remembering anything against her or her lover.
