"Here, Barney Scaddhan Barney, I say, what's the reckonin', you sinner? Now, Art Maguire, divil a penny of this you'll pay for you're too ginerous, an' have the heart of a prince." "And kind family for him to have the heart of a prince, sure we all know what the Fermanagh Maguires wor; of coorse we won't let him pay." "Toal Finnigan, do you want me to rise my hand to you?
"Don't be talking' about betther men here," said Jerry Shannon; "I tell you, Toal, there's a man in this room, and when you get me a betther man in the town of Ballykeerin, I'll take a glass of punch wid you, or a pair o' them, in spite of all the pledges in Europe!" "And who is that, Jerry," said Toal. "There he sits," replied Jerry, putting his extended palm upon Art's shoulder and clapping it.
About three years previous to the period of our narrative, Toal M'Mahon, Bryan's uncle, died of an inflammatory attack, leaving to his eldest nephew and favorite the stock farm of Ahadarra.
"An' I can return the compliment, Toal; it's a shame for both of us to be bachelors at this time o' day." "Ah," said the little fellow, "I wasn't Frank Maguire, one of the best lookin' boys in the barony, an' the most respected, an' why not?
Now, we simply ask the reader which dialogue is in the more appropriate keeping with the characters of honest, candid Jemmy and Cooney? "And now," proceeded Cooney, "regard-in' this match between your youngest daughter Margaret, and my son Toal."

"You must stand for the young colleen, Frank," said he, "and who do you think is to join you?" "Why, how could I guess?" replied Frank. "The sorra other but little Toal Finnigan, that thought to take Margaret from me, you renumber."
Michael Leroy was made the first foreman and R.C. Wiley and Joseph S. Herey were his assistants. The membership contained the names of John H. Dodge, Porteus Dodge, John E. Missen, Joseph Elfelt, Fred Whipperman, John T. Toal, J.H. Barstow, J.C. Grand, Charles Riehl, John Raguet, E. Rhodes, B. Bradley, Charles Hughes, Bird Boesch, T.F. Masterson, John J. Williams and V.

As a holding, however, it was reasonable; and we may safely assert that if Toal M'Mahon had been either industrious or careful he might have lived and died a wealthy man upon it. As Ahadarra lay in the mountain district, it necessarily covered a large space; in fact it constituted a townland in itself.
"Very well," said Art; "if you have any that 'ill plaise yourself betther, get it; but in the mane time bring us a round o' this, an' we'll be satisfied." "Art Maguire," Toal proceeded, "you were ever and always a man out o' the common coorse." "Now, Toal, you're beginnin'," said Art; "ha, ha, ha well, any way, how is that!"
