Go on yer ways, and don't stop here thinking that we've money, or any stuff to stale, for we ain't." "Why, you d n fools!" yelled Mr. Brown, "we have more money in our pockets than the carcasses of yourselves, wives, and horses would bring."
Bridshaw that's a puttin' his head together with Miss Badlam for somethin' or other, an' I don't believe there's no good in it, for what does the fox an' the cat be a whisperin' about, as if they was thaves an' incind'ries, if there ain't no mischief hatchin'?" "Why, Kitty," he said, "what mischief do you think is going on, and who is to be harmed?" "O Mr.
Be off, you set of thaves, or I will be after breaking some of your nasty dirty mugs for you. Arrah! don't mind them; sure they are nothing at all but a set of monkeys just catched. Come here, honey, and let me see who will be after laying a finger on you."
Like as not the thaves came into the room and lifted him out of his very bed. They're iverywhere, thim tramps! There's no providing against thim. Oh, howly St. Patrick! who'd have thought it?"

"Indade, an' to be sure she's too big an' too handsome a pussy to be after wastin' her time on them little bastes. It's that little tarrier dog of yours, Mrs. Hopkins, that will be after worryin' the mice an' the rats, an' the thaves too, I 'll warrant. Is n't he a fust-rate-lookin' watch-dog, an' a rig'ler rat-hound?" Mrs.
"The pore lad's out o' harum's rache, any way," she reflected. "He can't be git-tin' into hot wather now, and that's a fact. And maybe after awhiles they 'll let him go agin.

"Go away wid ye, ye thaves and murderers," cried a voice, "rich with brogue," and I could not help laughing in the fellow's face at the answer. "We will pay you well for our entertainment," I continued, after I had sufficiently recovered my composure.
"Sure, you've give me a nice fright prowlin' about like thaves and whoiver may be the ould man wid ye? The mistress'll stand no tramps or beggars about, as well you know."
