If I see that Hanlon, I'll tell him you want to see him, Master Richard; an' now that I'm on it, I had betther say a word to you before I go; bekaise when I do go, you'll have no one to guide you, God help you, or to set you a Christian patthern. You see that man sittin' there wid that bad leg, stretched out upon the chair?" "I do, Jemmy ha, ha, ha! Well, what next?"
"Well, Jim," said he, "it's a good comrade you've got for the weather that's in it; but, in the manetime, to set you a dacent patthern, I'll just take this myself," saying which, with the jar still upon its side, and the fore-finger of his left hand in his neck, he swallowed the spirits "It's the first I dhrank to-night," he added, "nor would I dhrink it now, only to show you that I've heart an' spirit to do the thing that we're all bound an' sworn to, when the proper time comes;" after which he laid down the glass, and turned up the jar, with much coolness, upon the altar.
"By jing, they surely ought; well, but can you spell mum?" "M-u-m." "Ha, ha, ha, take care of yourself, an' don't forget seven." "Never fear." "Frank," said Art, "I'm goin' up to Syl Harte's lodgin's to pass my opinion on the patthern of a waistcoat for him." "Very well," said Frank, "of coorse." "I'll not stop long." "As long or short as you like, Art, my boy."
"Art, that's a nate patthern in your waistcoat; but any how, I dunna how it is that you contrive to have every thing about you dacenter an' jinteeler than another." This, by the way, was true, both of him and his brother. "Tut, it's but middlin'," said Art; "it's now but a has-been: when it was at itself it wasn't so bad."
'I'm busy with a patthern here that is brakin' my heart, says the waiver; 'and antil I complate it and masther it intirely I won't quit. 'Oh, think o' the iligant stirabout, that 'ill be spylte intirely. 'To the divil with the stirabout, says he. 'God forgive you, says she, 'for cursin' your good brekquest. 'Ay, and you too, says he.
"Oh thin, gintlemen," replied Connor, dexterously parrying the question, "but it's a mighty improvin' thing to see our own Bishop, God spare his Lordship to us! an the Protestant minister o' the parish joinin' together to relieve an' give good advice to the poor! Bedad, it's settin' a fine example, so it is, to the Quality, if they'd take patthern by it."
"Well, I tell you again, never ask a hungry man advice; for he is likely to cut his advice on the patthern of his stomach, and it's empty advice you'll get. Did you never hear that a 'hungry stomach has no ears'?" The farmer who was to have the honour of the priest's company to breakfast exhibited rather more impatience than the good-humoured Father Phil, and reproved Andy for his conduct.
The drill was performed with immense spirit, but only one of the soldiers showed any dexterity; but while the sergeant was upholding him as 'the very moral of a patthern to the rest, poor Brutus was seized with agonizing horror at the recognition of Barberina in this disguise! "Why not?" she argued. "Why should not woman learn to use the arms of which man has hitherto usurped the use?"
"Well, Briney," said she, turning abruptly to the son, "don't take patthern by that man, if you expect to do any good; let him be a warning to you to mind yer duty, and respect yer clargy and prepare yerself, now that I think of it, to go to Father Philemy or Father Con on Thursday: but don't be said or led by that man, for I'm sure I dunna how he intends to face the Man above when he laves this world and to keep from his duty, and to spake of his clargy as he does!"
"Why blur and agers," rejoined the upholder of science, "sure he met the Scotch steward that the lord beyant has, one day, that I hear is a wondherful edicated man, and was brought over here to show us all a patthern, well, Pether Kelly met him one day, and, by gor, he discoorsed him to a degree that the Scotch chap hadn't a word left in his jaw."
