If it had been poor Thady itself, 't would ha' been diff'rint; but Mick I'd scarce ha' thought it of him; for he'd a dale of good-nature, Mrs. Geoghegan, ma'am."

And when he had got the idea into his head, it seemed to act like a swivel-joint, and set him nodding to the tune of: "Well tub-be sure; glory be to God; young Nicholas O'Beirne." "I wish to goodness he'd come over and cure Mick, poor man," said Mick's wife.
