Then ther's the foreman, Lal Hobhouse. Mebbe you ain't acquainted yet you bein' new around these parts. He's a fine bully feller till he gits mad. Then he's mean, ma'am. Guess he's most as mean as a skunk.
"They'll pay our dues, and what they get back will be their own!" "And it's rich they'll be with it!" Phelim chuckled. "Ay, faith, it's the proud men they'll be that day!" laughed Morty, his brother. "Sure, when it comes!" with a wink. "Fine words, my lad," Uncle Ulick replied quietly; "but it's my opinion you'll fall on trouble, and more than'll please you, with Crosby of Castlemaine.
Let me stop, and I'll cook for yez, and wash and scrub for yez, to the end o' my days. An' I'll eat no more than'll keep the life in me. I must eat something, or the smell o' the meat would turn me sick, ye see, ma'am; and then I shouldn't be no good to yez.

Why did you refuse to let me in tonight?"
"And now, an't ye a pretty set of boys, the whole of ye, blackguards that ye are! that ye can't dhrink yer sperrits quietly, in a lone woman's house, but you must be bringing the town on her, by yer d d ructions; and av I niver saw the foot of any of ye agin, it's little I'd be grieving for ye." "Quit that, you ould hag of the divil! or I'll give you more to talk about than'll plaze you."
