'And it's myself that would be plaised to be sitting in the parlor at Ballyduff wid me own Bridget Moghlaghigbogh, listenin' while she breathed swate vows, after making her supper upon praties and inions. 'I think I'd ruther be hyar, was the commentary of the trapper upon the expressed wish of the Irishman.
Altogether they had come on wondherfully; sould a good dale of male and praties every year; so that in a short time they were able to lay by a little money to help to fortune off their little girls, that were growing up fine colleens, all out." "And you may add, I suppose," said Andy Morrow, "that they lost no time going to fairs and dances, or other foolish divarsions.
"The raison why I came to you for it," said Raymond, who, evidently in this joke, had been put up by some one, "was bekaise I was tould that it's as good as new with you 'seldom used lasts long, you know but, such as it is, I'll borry it for ah, there now, that's one; all right, all right," pointing to the fragments of the meat and bread "I wouldn't ax betther; so, till the praties comes in, mind I'll take care of it; and, if I don't bring it back safe, I'll bring you a betther one in it's place."

You've made your family quite contented and peaceable and they never fight for the praties now good reason why they shouldn't, seeing that there's a plenty for all of them, and the pig craturs into the bargain.
"Why for the pratie crops to fail still; sure it's only the beginning o' May now, and who knows but we might have the happiness to see a right good general failure of the praties still? Eh? ha, ha, ha!" "Upon my sounds, Cooney, you have taken a good deal of weight off of me. Faith we have the lookout of a bad potato crop yet, sure enough. How is the wind?
It's thrue I had nothin' in the univarse to do, for I could niver git work nohow, an' whin I got it I could niver kape it. I niver could onderstan' why, but so it was. Nivertheless I managed to live well enough in the ould cabin wid the murphies " "Vat is murphies?" inquired La Roche. "Bliss yer innocent face, don't ye know it's praties?" "'Tis vat?"
