"Oh, Phaddhy, Phaddhy!" shouted his Reverence, laughing heartily, "I done you for once I done you, my man, cute as you thought yourself: why, you nager you, did you think to put us off with punch, and you have a stocking of hard guineas hid in a hole in the wall?" "What does yer Rev'rence mane," said Phaddhy; "for myself can make no understanding out of it, at all at all?"
"Phaddhy, ye thief o' the world," said Jim Dillon, when Father Philemy was gone, there's no comin' up to ye; how could you make sich a fool of his Rev'rence, as to tell im that Katty was dead, and that you had only four childher, an' you has eleven o' them, an' the wife in good health?"

"At all events, I will ask him," said Holden. "Are he and his followers lodged at your house, Bess?"
"Thrue for you, sir," says Phaddhy; "but as to going wanst a month, I'm afeard, your Rev'rence, if it would shorten my timper as it does Katty's, that we'd be bad company for one another; she comes home from confession, newly set, like a razor, every bit as sharp; and I'm sure that I'm within the truth when I say there's no bearing her."
