"Why, a daicent tradesman, I think, from thin sorra one of me knows whether I ought to say from Dublin or London." "What trade, Ganymede?"
"Well, then," said Darby, "first, there is Paudeen Rafferty, of Dernascobe; Paudeen, sir, is, at the present spaking, badly given to drink, and he swears, and fights mortially, too, the hathen; but, then, he's in darkness, sir, yet; and you know that the greater the sinner the greater the saint. If Paudeen was dacently convarted he'd make a mighty fine Christian no doubt.
"My good friend Paudeen, I am richer than you are disposed to give me credit for; I see you are a good-hearted fellow, and here's a crown for you."

"How long have you been here," asked the other. "I've been laborin' for the master goin' on fourteen years; but I'm only about twelve months attendin' table."
It's purty well known that he's a Whiteboy; he was a caravat it seems, two years agone, and was wid ould Paudeen Gar when Hanly was hanged for " "And who was Paudeen Gar?" asked the other, interrupting him.

"I can, sir. Fenton?
Paudeen had no sooner disappeared than the anonymous gentleman went to one of his trunks, and, pulling out a very small miniature, surveyed it for nearly half a minute; he then looked into the fire, and seemed absorbed in long and deep reflection.
