"I am, am I? yer moon-faced spad! I'll show ye," and he sprang toward Oliver. "Here now, Tim Murphy," came a sharp voice, "kape yer hands off the young gintleman. He ain't a-doin' nothin', and he ain't done nothin'. Thim divils hit the dog, I seen 'em myself."
I don't reckon you'll enjoy herdin' with these rough-necks." Bat's offer was not one to be overlooked by a man in my circumstances, so after supper found me sitting in his kitchen making gloomy forecasts of the future, between cigarettes.
