And now I'll only just tell you, Master Harry, how this White Connal sarved my shister's husband, who was an under-tenant to him: see, the case was this " "Oh! don't tell me a long case, for pity's sake. I am no lawyer I shall not understand a word of it."
Please your honour, it's what he has brought me before your honour, because he had a spite against me about some oats I sold your honour, which he was jealous of, and a shawl his wife got at my shister's shop there without, and never paid for; so I offered to set the shawl against the grazing, and give him a receipt in full of all demands, but he wouldn't out of spite, please your honour; so he brought me before your honour, expecting your honour was mad with me for cutting down the tree in the horse park, which was none of my doing, please your honour ill luck to them that went and belied me to your honour behind my back!
"True for ye, my lady," said Moriarty, "I'll do my best, surely: I'd live through all, if possible, for his sake, let alone my mudther's, or shister's, or my own 'twould be too bad, after; all the trouble he got these two nights, to be dying at last, I and hanting him, may be, whether I would or no for as to prosecuting, that would never be any way, if I died twenty times over.
'Thady, says he, 'I've had enough of this; I'm smothering, and can't hear a word of all they're saying of the deceased. 'God bless you, and lie still and quiet, says I, 'a bit longer, for my shister's afraid of ghosts, and would die on the spot with fright was she to see you come to life all on a sudden this way without the least preparation.
'And you the same way of them, no doubt, answered I. 'Nay, don't he denying it, Judy, for I think the better of ye for it, and shouldn't be proud to call ye the daughter of a shister's son of mine, if I was to hear ye talk ungrateful, and anyway disrespectful of his honour. 'What disrespect, says she, 'to say I'd rather, if it was my luck, be the wife of another man?
There's none but Old Nick in it yet; and he's more of a neger than ever; for think, that he would not pay me a farthing for the carriage of his shister's boxes and band-boxes down. If you're going to have any dealings with him, God grant ye a safe deliverance!" "Amen!" said the widow, and her son and daughter.

"I'm one Paddy Cummins, sir, a shister's son of " "Well, Cummins, I'm very happy to hear that you were edified, and happier still that you had sense to perceive the side upon which truth lay." "Faitha, thin, your reverence, I seen that widout much throuble; but, sure they say, sir, there's to be a power of us turnin' over to yez."
I'll find you as pretty a lodging for the night, with a widow of a brother of my shister's husband that was, as ever you slept in your life; for old Nick or St. Dennis has not found 'em out yet; and your honour will be, no compare, snugger than the inn at Clonbrony, which has no roof, the devil a stick. But where will I get your honour's hand; for it's coming on so dark, I can't see rightly.
