And upon my conscience, as far as a good weighty butt o' praties goes, I'll punish him this very night." The priest gave a short hiccup or two, as if laboring under some momentary affection of the throat, which soon extended to the eyes, for with some difficulty he put up his naked hand and wiped away a kind of moisture, that in ordinary cases would have very much resembled tears.
"We tried the praties this mornin', sir, and we'll have new praties, and bread and butther, sir."
Howandiver, I hope to get some fish by to-morrow mornin'. If we could only get a taste av a few praties there'd be nothin' wantin'; for "'It's little I axes, Au' little I wish; If others want luxuries, let them; For praties and fish Make an illigant dish, If ye only have whiskey to wet them."
You're licensed by the gods up here, and may laugh at them too, and their mothers and grandmothers, if the fit seizes ye, and the heartier it is the greater the exemption. We're pots that knock the lid and must pour out or boil over and destroy the furniture. My praties are ready for peelin', if ever they were in this world! Chuck wigs from sconces, and off with your buckram.
Stay forrard where ye belong, and don't git presumptions, just 'cause ye've been a year in a free country. Yer goin' back to Ireland now, to eat praties and drink water. There's no whisky on this boat, and no mate three times a day. No mate, d'ye understand?" "No mate!" they vociferated. "No whusky!" "No, ye bundle o' bad min, no whisky. Ye've drunk up what ye had, and that was in America.
It is from the bottomless pit; and in the bottomless pit shall all liars have their part, in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone." And again: "When all the praties were black in Ireland, why didn't the priests say the hocus-pocus over them, and make them all good again?" He shared, too, Mr.
Sure, it's not more nor five or six years since Father Pether there used to be digging praties on the one ridge with myself by the same token, an excellent spadesman he was and now he knows more nor all the Protestant parsons in the Diocy." "Why, how could they know any thing, when they don't belong to the thrue church?" said Shane.
Phelim, however, wended his way to a little hazel copse, below the house, where he deliberately twined the halters together, and erected a swing-swang, with which he amused himself till hunger brought him to his dinner. "Phelim, you idle thief, what kep you away till now?" "Oh; mudher, mudher, gi' me a piece o' arran? "Why, here's the praties done for your dinner. What kep you?"
"Your honour won't know me, bedad, in a wake's toime if I ownly git enough praties an' mate!" The doctor laughed outright at this; whereat, the somewhat demure sick- berth steward smiled grimly, allowing himself this slight indulgence amid the stormy austerities of duty, the only departure from the gravity he had all along displayed.
"I wonder you didn't think of pigs, O'Halloran," one of the captains said, laughing, as they were talking over the farm in the mess anteroom; "pigs and potatoes. The idea of you and Burke, both from the sod, starting a farm; and not thinking, first, of the two chief national products." "There is not room for praties, Sinclair; and as for pigs, there are many reasons against it.
