"My husband was an Irishman, like you, and my name is Harrigan," answered the landlady, who held at the moment a jug of beer, from which she was going to pour me out a tumblerful. "Faith, you may well say that he was like me, marm, for, curious enough, that's my name too," answered Larry. "Your name!" exclaimed the landlady, standing still and looking doubtfully at him.
