So you see Ould Ireland is not too disthressful a counthry to be divartin' ourselves in, an' we have our healths finely, glory be to God! Well, we must be shankin' off wid ourselves now to the Colquhouns', where they're wettin' a dhrop o' tay for us this mortial instant.
"Talkin' of company," said Ody, to change the subject which his aunt's remarks often disposed people to do "Mad Bell's just after shankin' back wid herself; she's below colloguin' wid Big Anne. It's a fine long tramp she's took this time; so if she was in the humour she'd a right to ha' plinty to be tellin' us." "Well, now, I'm glad the crathur's home," said Mrs. Kilfoyle.
Paddy, however, alighted unconcerned among the clattering stones, and ran on with his tidings. These were to the effect that he was "after seein' Jerry Dunne shankin' up from Duffclane ways, a goodish bit below the indin' of the road, and he wid a great big basket carryin', fit to hould a young turf-stack."

'You thievin' miscreant, sez I to her, 'it's shankin' off to the pólis I'll be, and layin' a heavy charge agin you for robbin' and stealin', and you after lavin' the innicent child there and th' ould man to starve widout a penny to their names, sez I. 'Faugh! sez she, 'for that matter the fever's liker to have took her off agin now wid no throuble to be starvin', and maybe a good job too for iverybody. And 'Be this and be that, sez I, 'if I thought there was e'er a fear of it, 'tis wringin' your ugly neck round I'd be this instiant. 'Let go of that bag, sez she, sweepin' up some of the shillin's that was spilt.
