The 200th Injianny is here. Come out with a rush you imported spalpeen and jump 'em in the rear!"
"Then, take that, you spalpeen!" said Mike, suddenly pulling Paul's hat over his eyes.

The attack was so sudden and unexpected that Paul was at first bewildered. But he quickly recovered his presence of mind, and saw into the trick.
No, Daddy, it's coming to the point, as the tiger said when he reached the last joint of the cow's tail. And it's your fault.

O'Rourke, who had seated himself gravely on the scraper, and was weeping. "Hasn't the man any friends?" "Too many of 'em, mum, an' it's along wid dhrinkin' toasts wid 'em that Larry got throwed. The punch that spalpeen has dhrunk this day would amaze ye. He give us the slip awhiles ago, bad 'cess to him, an' come up here.
The seaman patted Martin on the head as he spoke; and, turning to Bob Croaker, continued: "Ye ought to be proud, ye spalpeen, o' bein' wopped by sich a young hero as this. Come here and shake hands with him: d'ye hear? Troth an' it's besmearin' ye with too much honour that same. There, that'll do. Don't say ye're sorry now, for it's lies ye'd be tellin' if ye did.

'Troth, an' I may as well let ye have the benefit of yer heels, ye mortal spalpeen, said Andy, reining himself in. 'An' it's the father of a good thrashin' I could give ye for yer impidence. To think o' Miss Linda, that's one of the ould auncient Wynns of Dunore since Adam was a boy!
"Och! bloody blazes! that manes me," he had exclaimed; "and ould Boss Arnot will know it jist as well as if they had printed me name all over the paper.
