The dresser, chairs, tables, I pots, and pans, all underwent a rigor of discipline, as if some remarkable event was about to occur; nothing less, it must be supposed than a complete, domestic revolution, and a new state of things. Phaddhy himself cut two or three large furze bushes, and, sticking them on the end of a pitchfork, attempted to sweep down the chimney.
"Did he die as rich as they said, Phaddhy?" inquired his Reverence. "Hut, sir," replied Phaddhy, determined to take what he afterwards called a rise out of the priest; "they knew little about it as rich as they said, sir! no, but three times as rich, itself: but, any how, he was the man that could make the money." "I'm very happy to hear it, Phaddhy, on, your account, and that of your children.
"I believe yer Reverence is right," replied Phaddhy, looking somewhat slyly in the priest's face; "I think it's best to make sure of it now, in regard that in the evening, your Reverence do you persave?" "Yes," said his Reverence, "you're in a better frame of mind at present, Phaddhy, being fresh from confession."
"Not now, Tim," answered Phaddhy "not now; thank God, I'm not a poor man, an' he'll keep his temper. I'll warrant you the horsewhip won't be up now, although, afore this, I wouldn't say but it might though the poorest day I ever was, 'id's myself that wouldn't let priest or friar lay a horsewhip to my back, an' that you know, Tim."
But as soon as the breakfast-things were removed, and the coast clear, he took a peep into the pantry, and, after throwing his eye over its contents, sat down at the fire, making Phaddhy take a seat beside him, for the especial purpose of sounding him as to the practicability of effecting a certain design, which was then snugly latent in his Reverence's fancy.
"Arrah, Phaddhy," said Katty, "wasn't it friendly of Father Philemy to give us the hard word about the wine and mutton?" "Very friendly," retorted Phaddhy, who, after all, appeared to have suspected the priest "very friendly, indeed, when it's to put a good joint before himself, and a bottle of wine in his jacket.
"Ay, will I; so you may as well give up talking about it Arrah, woman!" said. Phaddhy, raising his voice, "who does it ever make betther show me a man now in all the neighborhood, that's a pin-point the holier of it?
Father Philemy nodded for the assistance, and continued "but as for human nature, Captain, give it to me at a good rousing christening; or what is better again, at a jovial wedding between two of my own parishioners say this pretty fair-haired daughter of Phaddhy Shemus Phaddhy's here, and long Ned Slevin, Parrah More's son there eh Phaddhy, will it be a match? what do you say, Parrah More?
We can only observe, that when Phaddhy saw it laid, and all the wheels of the system fairly set agoing, he looked at Parrah More with an air of triumph which he could not conceal.
"We'll be disgraced forever," said Phaddhy, "without either a bit of mutton or a bottle of wine for the gintlemen, and that big thief Parrah More Slevin had both." "And I hope," replied Katty, "that you're not so mane as to let any of that faction outdo you in dacency, the nagerly set?
