"And didn't I tell ye ye could bother them a little, but not too much? What would ye have done if I had told ye to do what ye liked wid them?" "What would I have done then? Oh, I'ld have shown ye the real fun then. What would I have done then? I'ld have pinched them and stuck pins in them all day and all night. I'ld have put charms on themselves, so that they'ld grow thinner than the pig.
"I was not thinking of anyone in particular." "How would Kathleen O'Brien do, do you think?" the King asked. "I don't want to be troubling the O'Briens," the Queen said, "and they always so kind to us." "It would not be troubling them much; we'ld only keep her a little while and they'ld hardly miss her."
And I was just thinking when your girl and my boy grows up, supposing that they like each other well enough, it might be pleasant to all of us that they'ld be married some time. "There's no man's son that I'd rather see a daughter of mine married to than yours, Peter," said John, "if she herself was pleased.
'It's the silly lot they war, says he to himself, 'thim butlers, that they'ld be afraid to go to the cellar and bring back a bit of a basket full of wine. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't bring it back in me skin instead of in the basket.
I don't know what would happen any of the Good People if he was to be rightly christened. I think he'ld not be able to stand it and would be driven out, so that they'ld have to send back the real child. Now, if a priest ever sees that creature that we've just seen, and asks: 'Has this child been christened? they'll have to answer 'Yes, and he cannot be christened again.
But sure I thought that the differ of a few thousand years in our ages would be nothing to me, and I hoped it would be nothing to her either. "I was living in a rath and wearing a green jacket then. All the others in the rath promised that they'ld help me.
"And there he went floating down the stream, and shouting and laughing at them. For, you know, it's not being in running water that can hurt one of the Good People, but only crossing it, and if they tried to cross it they'ld be in awful pain till they got to the middle, and then nothing could keep them from falling in.
What think you of those times, when every day great ships sailed away from Ireland loaded down with food corn and bacon, and beef and butter and Ireland's own people left without the bit of food to keep the life in them? All summer long was the horrible wet weather, and the potatoes rotting in the ground before they'ld be ripe, and never fit to eat.
"There'll be all sorts of unpleasantness, anyway," said a third. "Maybe they'ld find us out," said a fourth, "and then they'ld be puttin' all sorts of horrible charms on us to be rid of us." But the King called one of the women and told her that she must go and stay in the place of the baby at the O'Briens. She whimpered a little, but she knew that what the King said must be done.
"But you'ld be leaving one of your own people in the place of it," Naggeneen answered, "and they'ld never know the differ. Or if they did, it would be no matter. A woman makes a great hullabaloo when her child looks sick and she thinks it's dying on her, but she doesn't care at all after a little. And then, it doesn't die, and she thinks it's her own child all the time, and there's no harm done.
