"Then it ain't of much account, as me mither used to say in her affectionate references to me father; but if one of the spalpeens happen to come onto ye too suddent like, ye might scare him by shoving that into his eyes. I've got the powder for the same, but the bullets won't fit it, so I'll have to do the shooting."
"Anither of the spalpeens," whispered Terry; "now there ought to be a gun fired on tother side of us and one in front and one behind us." "They may be there, all the same," replied Fred, staring in the direction whence came the report, as though he expected the appearance of the one who had caused it.
"How should I know, as the spalpeens always said arter I knocked them down at the fair? What means of information have I?" "You've been over this spot afore," continued the scout, enjoying the perplexity of his friend. The latter scratched his head and looked about him with a more puzzled expression than ever.
Darby More, had, on concluding the De profundus, seated himself beside the bed on which Mike lay; but on hearing the groan, and the call for drink, he leaped rapidly to: his legs and exclaimed, "My sowl to hell an' the divil, Owen Reillaghan, but your son's alive!! Off wid two or three of yez, as the divil can dhrive yez, for the priest an' docthor!! Off wid yez! ye damned spalpeens, aren't ye near there by this!

"Did ye get a fair look at any of the spalpeens that was so ill-mannered as to paap down on ye?"
"Very good, plaze yersilf, Ally Babby," said Ted, resignedly plunging his arms into the cistern; "only remimber, I give ye fair warnin', av the spalpeens attempts to take me prisoner, I'll let fly into their breadbaskets right an' left, an' clear out into the street, naked or clothed, no matter which, for I've said it wance, an' I means to stick to it, they'll niver take Ted Flaggan alive."

"Be the powers, me laddy, I b'lave ye are right!" exclaimed Mickey, admiringly. "That's just the plan of the spalpeens, by which towken, I'll tip him a shot."
