Philip was hurrying away under the crumbling portcullis, when a deputation of the fishermen approached him. "What are we owing you, Mr. Christian?" asked their spokesman. "Nothing," answered Philip. "We thank you, sir, and you'll be hearing from us again. Meanwhile, a word if you plaze, sir?" "What is it, men?" said Philip.
They thried some av their dog's thricks on me, but I dhrew a line round my cot, an' the man that thransgressed ut wint into hospital for three days good. 'O'Hara had put his spite on the room he was my Colour Sargint an' nothin' cud we do to plaze him. I was younger than I am now, an' I tuk what I got in the way av dressing down and punishment-dhrill wid my tongue in my cheek.
"Root and branch, father, for iver and iver; and there'll be the finish of the Macdermots of Ballycloran; but Larry," and he put his hand, with more tenderness than seemed to belong to his rough nature, on his father's arm; "but Larry, you know you'll never want for anything then; you'll be snug enough jist wherever you plaze; and your money coming due and paid every week you'd be better than in this wretched place; eh Larry?"
But the sequel must be told in more vivid words than mine. "Whin I saw that angel lyin' there," said Sarah Walker's nurse, "as white, if ye plaze, as if the whole blessed blood of her body had gone to make up the beautiful glory of her hair; speechless as she was, I thought I saw a sort of longin' in her eyes.

Two of the men carried earthen platters filled with frijoles, a single tortilla in each platter. They were placed near our heads, one for each of us. "It's blissid kind of yez, gentlemen," said Chane; "but how are we goin' to ate it, if ye plaze?"

Be the Grace of Her Majesty and the British Government Sir Edward if ye plaze!" THERE was one who took pride in the use of his title.
"Oh, Misther Madden, just stip this way a moment, if you plaze." The call instantly attracted several other men. They moved across deck. Hogan was pointing. "Jist th' same as th' other wan," he said gloomily and significantly. "We knew it would be this way, sir. It was th' same hand as done it" Leonard looked with rising dismay at the sinister parallel. The Vulcan also was lying at sea anchor.
