"No fire can be lit in the hall," says Lawrence, "for there's an ould jackdaw's nest in the chimney." "Oh thin," says my father, "let us stop in the kitchen, for it's very unproper for the likes iv me to be sittin' in the parlour," says he. "Oh, Terry, that can't be," says Lawrence; "if we keep up the ould custom at all, we may as well keep it up properly," says he.
The landlord begged Wade to come down to particulars. "My idee is that whoever offends this little one by unproper language shall be filled full of bullet holes: how does that strike you?" "It hits me just right!" responded the landlord, with several nods of his head; "but there's one thing in the way." "What's that?" demanded Wade, showing some temper at this attack upon his scheme.
But again, that rigorous honour she had often heard him boast, that firmness to his word, of which she had fatal experience, taught her to know, he would not for any unproper compassion, any unmanly weakness, forfeit his oath of impartial justice.

What I want to 'rive at is as to using cuss words and unproper language where the angel hears it.

"When we're disposed to say one of them unproper words, the picture of that miserable scamp going a full week without a touch of Mountain Dew, will freeze up our lips closer than a clam." That night the usual group was gathered at the Heavenly Bower. There were the same merry jests, the reminiscences, the conjectures how certain diggings would pan out, the small talk and the general good feeling.
"It 'lows a man to say the unproper words in the hearin' of the angel, afore he's shot; so it won't prevent her ears from being 'fended. Can't we fix it some way, so that she shan't hear 'em at all?"
"Misther Maguire," says the Pope, "it's very unproper ov you to spake that way ov my housekeeper: I won't allow it, sir." "Honor bright, your Holiness," says his Riv'rence, laying his hand on his heart.
