"And what are you the betther of all yer confessions? Did they ever mend yer temper, avourneen? no, indeed, Katty, but you're ten times worse tempered coming back from the priest than before you go to him." "Oh! Phaddhy! Phaddhy! God look down upon you this day, or any man that's in yer hardened state I see there's no use in spaking to you, for you'll still be the ould cut."
"And why not?" continued his Eeverence, who was so closely engaged with Phaddhy, that he did not even hear the nephew's appeal "a bishop and why not? Has he not as good a chance of being a bishop as any of them? though, God knows, it is not always merit that gets a bishopric in any church, or I myself might But let that pass." said he, fixing his eyes on the bottle.
"Seven sartainly, every priest must know them, or how could they lay the divil, if he'd, spake to them in a tongue they couldn't understand, Phaddhy?" "Ah, I declare, Briney, I see it now; only for that, poor Father Philip, the heavens be his bed, wouldn't be able to lay ould Warnock, that haunted Squire Sloethorn's stables." "Is that when the two horses was stole, Phaddhy?"
God be good to him requiescat animus ejus in pace, per omnia secula seculorum, Amen! he liked a drop in his time, Phaddhy, as well as ourselves, eh?" "Amen, amen the heavens be his bed! he-did, poor man! but he had it at first cost, your Reverence, for he run it all himself in the mountains: he could afford to take it."
"Bless my soul, and so it is indeed, Phaddy, and I ought to know it; an how is your wife Sarah? I mean, I hope Mrs. Sheemus Phaddhy is well: by the by, is that old complaint of hers gone yet? a pain in the stomach, I think it was, that used to trouble her; I hope in God, Phaddhy, she's getting over it, poor thing.
"Well, Father Philemy," said Phaddhy, "as he won't sing, may be, wid submission he'd examine Briney in his Latin, till his mother and I hear how's he doing at it." "Ay, he's fond of dabbling at Latin, so he may try him I'm sure I have no objection : so, Captain, as I was telling you "
"Not a doubt of it, Phaddhy," said Father Philemy to Phaddhy, whom he had been addressing at the time, "not a doubt of it; and I'll do everything in my power to get him in* too, and I am told he is bright." * That is into Maynooth college the great object of ambition to the son of an Irish peasant or rather to his parent. "Uncle," said one of the nephews, "this gentleman is speaking to you."
His Reverence was now seconded in his motion by the most of all present, and Parrah More accordingly gave them a song. After a few songs more, the conversation went on as before. "Now, Parrah More," said Phaddhy, "you must try my wine; I hope it's as good as what you gave his Reverence yesterday."
The priest knew this, and consequently felt that the point in question would require to be managed, on his part, with suitable address. "Phaddhy," says his Reverence, "sit down here till we chat a little, before I commence the duties of the day. I'm happy to, see that you have such a fine thriving family: how many sons and daughters have you?" "Six sons, yer Reverence," replied.
"Father Philemy," said Father Con, "Captain Wilson was addressing himself to you in a most especial manner." "Oh! Captain, I beg ten thousand pardons, I was engaged talking with Phaddhy here about his son, who is a young shaving of our cloth, sir, he is intended for the Mission* Phaddhy, I will either examine him myself, or make Father Con examine him by-and-by. Well, Captain?"
