He wint in wid the rest, an' refused to pay rint', an' iv coorse he got evicted, an' lost his five thousand pounds he put into the farm, an' then he lost his business, an' before long he died with a broken heart. An' where did he die? Just in the workhouse. 'Twas all thro' William O'Brien, the great frind iv Oireland, that this happened.

Perhaps ye have Gladstonian life-assurance offices in England? What praymium would they want for the life of a Bodyke man that paid his rint to the Colonel?" The "praymium" would doubtless be "steep." Boycotting is hard to bear, as testified by Mr. Dawson, a certain Clerk of Petty Sessions.
"'We will remain till th' last wan iv us perishes iv indigestion, says Jools. "'Thin I must take sthrong measures, says th' gin'ral.

We are only here on sufferance, and every person in the Colony knows it and feels it only too well. Our lives would not be endangered: those times are over, but we could not possibly stay in the island.
I'll just say this 'I owes two years' rint, Misther Macdermot, for the thrifle of bog, and the cabin I holds up at Drumleesh, and there's what I got to pay it!

"Only let your honor give him a good lease, at a raisonable rint, makin' allowance for his improvements " "Never mind conditions, my good friend," said the agent, "but proceed; for, if I don't mistake, you will yourself give him a lift." "May be, we'll find him stock and capital a thrifle, any way," replied the Pedlar with a knowing wink.
