"Make the lords in waiting do it, then," said the surly god; "and if they are too lazy, which I dare say they are, send for a boatswain's mate from the Royal Billy he'd sarve her out, I warrant you, and for half a gallon of rum would teach the yeomen of the guard to dance the binnacle hornpipe into the bargain."
But on the other side, above Athenry, 'tis there ye'll see the foin shootin'. Thims the boys for powdher an' shot! 'Tis more than nine they shot, aye, and more than tin it was. An' sarve thim right, if they must turn the people out, an' have their own way. May the Lord protect ye! May angels make yer bed this night! Long may ye live, an' yer sowl to glory!"
If ever there was a wife who was kep' short, and used hard, that was yer wife, Depper, my man! Bad you ha' been to her that's gone to 'er account, in all ways; who should know that better'n me, I'll ask ye? An' if at las' 'tis come home to ye, sarve ye wholly right. Tha's all the comfort ye'll get from me, bor." "Stop along of me!" Depper cried, as, her work being finished, she moved to the door.
"'One word more, sais you, 'and I have done. If your army officers out there, get leave of absence, do you stop their pay? "'No. "'Do you sarve native colonists the same way? "'No, we stop half their salaries. "'Exactly, sais you, 'make them feel the difference. Always make a nigger feel he is a nigger, or he'll get sassy, you may depend.
"And then, says you, `I want to see the skipper, you says, and as soon as he comes on deck, `Here I am, your honour, you says. `I warn't going to let your men take me last night as if I were an enemy or a thief; but if the King wants sailors, here I am, and I'll sarve him like a man." "Well done, Tom!" cried Aleck. "Think so, Master Aleck?" said the smuggler.
'And sarve him right, begorra, said the man at the head of the table. 'It's sick I am of all the dirty stuff I've to listen to An' dese boys is 'listed for de war, and dere's not wan of 'em knows he mayn't be stiff on de field in tree or four monts' time.

And then he called Tom Bodger a very seaside salt and wicked name, in addition to making a vow of what he would do to "sarve him out."
"Great Scott!" ejaculated Uncle Jason, letting his pipe go out. "I thought Jacob was a fav'rite hero of you wimmen folks. Didn't he sarve how many was it? fourteen year, for Rachel?"

"Stop a moment," said M'Carthy, "till I return into the house, and let them know I'm going out." "No," replied the other; "if you do, you won't find me here when you come back.
