Thompson's mind, if one could have read it, would have shown a great objection to shilly- shallying, as she was accustomed to call it. But M.

The fat and fair Widow Flanagan had, at length, given up shilly- shallying, and yielding to the fervent entreaties of Tom Durfy, had consented to name the happy day. She would have some little ways of her own about it, however, and instead of being married in the country, insisted on the nuptial knot being tied in Dublin.

I daresay you have had some experience already."
