But it'll come to that, whether or no. How's my father to get this money for Flannelly?" "D n Flannelly!" was Brady's easy solution of the family difficulties. "Let him take the house he built, and be d d to him; and if we can't build a betther one for the masthur and Miss Feemy and you, without his help, may praties choke me!"
There's some o' the same farmers desarve worse, for they're keepin' up the prices o' their male and praties upon the poor, an' did so all along, that they might make money by our outlier destitution." "That is no justification for theft," observed the graver of the two. "Does any one among you suspect those who committed it in this instance?
But, indeed, Jack was always obsarved to have a dacent ginteel turn with him; for he'd scorn to see a bad gown on his mother, or a broken Sunday coat on himself; and instead of drinking his little earning in a shebeen-house, and then eating his praties dry, he'd take care to have something to kitchen* them; so that he was not only snug and dacent of a Sunday, regarding wearables, but so well-fed and rosy, that a point of a rush would take a drop of blood out of his cheek.
Yesterday itself she had cooked him a chicken as good as I could get at the Big House; "done to a turn, too, with a nice bit of Irish bacon on top, and a bowl of praties biled in their jackets and a basin of beautiful new buttermilk;" but no, never a taste nor a sup did he take of it. "It's just timpting Providence his reverence is, and it'll be glory to God if you'll tell him so."
A kettle had been placed on the fire, and in a very short time, a jar was produced from the corner of the hut, and a horn of strong spirits and water mixed. "Here are some cold praties, sir. It's all we have got cooked by us now, but I can promise you a better meal, later on." Walter ate the potatoes, and drank the warm mixture.

"I bleeve he's takin' advantage, sir, of the frost, to get in his praties to-day, in respect of the bad footin', sir, for the horses in the bog when there's not a frost. Any how, betune that and a bit of a sore head that he got, yer Reverence, on Thursday last in takin' part wid the O'Scallaghans agin the Bradys, I bleeve he had to stay away to-day." "On the Sabbath day, too, without my leave!
Annyhow I can't git work, an' I've a wife an' chick at home, who've bin so long used to praties and bacon that their stummicks don't take kindly to fresh air fried in nothin'. So ye see, sur, findin' it difficult to make a livin' above ground, I'm disposed to try to make it under water." While Rooney Machowl was speaking Baldwin regarded him with a fixed and critical gaze.
"Ah, well, they will turn their faces to-morrow, Denis; and as for the weather, I guess you have got wet before now digging praties in the old country." "I have that, your honor, many and many a time; and it's little I cared for it.
Night after night the gallery gods had made it a point to be present at that hour of the continuous performance when the Little Patti such was the name on the poster sang either her famous Irish song "Oh, the praties they are small", or "The Holy City", and followed them by a coon dance the like of which was not to be seen elsewhere in New York; for into it the child threw such an abandonment of enthusiasm that she carried herself and her audience to the verge of extravagance the one in action, the other in expression.
