For one precious moment the air seemed full of long-legged stockings and delicate hands and purses.

Get up, my fine bhoy get up wid ye! Why do you lie there? owlder folk nor you are abroad in the sunshine.
"I know his riverence well, and there isn't a praste like him in all the country round; though, to tell you the truth, Misther Barry, he isn't much in favour with the Spaniards or monks up in the towns, for he's a mighty great Liberal, and is as ready to fight as to pray for the cause of the Republicans."
