"In the name iv the blessed Vargin," says Thady, "an' iv all the holy saints, hould yer tongue, you unnatheral gandher," says he. "Who's that, that dar to call me nicknames?" says Terence inside, roaring wid the fair passion, "let me out, you blasphamious infiddles," says he, "or by this crass I'll stretch ye," says he.
He ach! the owld doctor has oach ack ack! Blessed Vargin! Ha he hoh ack! Poison! poison!" And the brace of revellers went staggering over the azotea, delivering their stomachs, and ejaculating in extreme terror as the thought struck them that there might be poison in the pickle. I had risen to my feet, and was enjoying the joke in loud laughter.
Goldsmith's father, Olov Hasholom, who's gone to glory, used to walk to Shool in all winds and weathers; sometimes it was five o'clock of a winter's marnin' and I used to get up and make him an iligant cup of coffee before he wint to Selichoth; he niver would take milk and sugar in it, becaz that would be atin' belike, poor dear old ginthleman. Ah the Holy Vargin be kind to him!"
'Whisht, says she, 'an' listen to that, says she. 'In the name of the Blessed Vargin, says she, 'what IS it? says she. An' sure enough what was it but Bill Malowney that was dhroppin' asleep in the closet, an' snorin' like a church organ. 'Is it a pig, says he, 'or is it a Christian? 'Arra! listen to the tune iv it, says she; 'sure a pig never done the like is that, says she.
I wundher how the Prodesans can stand afore you at all." "Don't think to delude me," says his Riv'rence, "don't think to back out ov your challenge now," says he, "but come to the scratch like a man, if you are a man, and answer me my question. What's the rason, now, that Julius Cæsar and the Vargin Mary was born upon the one day, answer me that, if you wouldn't be hissed off the platform?"
Sit ye down here, for oi'm a-goin' to spake plain the noight. Noo, by the Holy Vargin, oi'm in arenest. Are ye goin' to blow hot, or are ye goin' to blow could?" "Considerin' the hot night, Barney, wouldn't it be better for me to blow could?" Barney scratched his head in perplexity. "Ye know what I mane," he ejaculated. "Where will ye foind the girl that tells all she knows?"
"The lil one's asleep," she said, going down on her knees at the fire. She had left the door ajar, and Pete's song was rolling into the room "The first was lovely Nancy, so delicate and fair, The other was a vargin, and she did laurels wear." "Grannie bathed her, and she's like a lil angel in the cot there," said Nancy.
"The blessings of the Vargin and all the Saints be on your head, miss. Oh! it's I that am glad to see yez. God's blessing on yez a thousand times." Nora took the old man's hand and wrung it. He raised the white little hand to his lips and kissed it. "There now," he said, "I have kissed yez; and these lips shan't see wather again for many a long day that they shan't.
"The Vargin be praised, Mister Percy! I began to think that you must have been sent off somewhere, without time to warn me; and I couldn't, for the life of me, make out what to do." "We have not gone, Tim," Percy said, not wishing to hurt the attached fellow's feelings, by telling him that he had been forgotten; "but we are starting tomorrow. I will tell you all about it, when we get in.
