I had to get my feet into a tub of water and take some brandy. I'd a had pleurisy if I'd been in any other country but this. I tell you, nothing saved me but the oxygen in this air. There! there's a forty that I lent a hundred dollars on at five per cent a month and six per cent after maturity, with a waiver in the mortgage. The day I came here to see this I was nearly dead. I had a "
'It is not three score and tin or any fine thing like that; it is only a blaguard dhraggin that is disturbin' the counthry and ruinatin' my tinanthry wid aitin' their powlthry, and I'm lost for want of eggs, says the king. 'Throth, thin, plaze your worship, says the waiver, 'you look as yollow as if you swallowed twelve yolks this minit.
But as he was ridin' him out o'the field, who should see him but the miller. 'Is it stalin' my horse you are, honest man? says the miller. 'No, says the waiver; 'I'm only goin' to axercise him, says he, 'in the cool o' the evenin'; it will be good for his health. 'Thank you kindly, says the miller; 'but lave him where he is, and you'll obleege me.
It was necessary therefore to bribe the two rival claimants to a waiver of their claims; and Lewis after some hesitation yielded to the counsels of his Ministers, and consented to waive his son's claims for such a bribe. The secret treaty between the three powers, which was concluded in the summer of 1698, thus became necessarily a Partition Treaty.
'No, indeed, says the waiver; 'you have the advantage o' me. 'To be sure I have, says the king, moighty high; 'sure, ain't I the King o' Dublin? says he. The waiver dhropped down an his two knees forninst the king, and says he, 'I beg God's pardon and yours for the liberty I tuk; plaze your holiness, I hope you'll excuse it. 'No offince, says the king; 'get up, good man.
'Why, thin, bad luck to your impidence, says the waiver; 'would no place sarve you but that? and is it spyling my brekquest yiz are, you dirty bastes?

But, you see, cute as the waiver was, the king was cuter still; for these high quolity, you see, is great desaivers; and so the horse the waiver was put an was larned on purpose; and sure, the minit he was mounted, away powdhered the horse, and the divil a toe he'd go but right down to Galway.
But the waiver bein' an his neck was a great disthress to him, and he would rather have had him an inside passenger; but, anyway, he flew and he flew till he kem slap up agin the palace o' the king; for, bein' blind with the rage, he never seen it, and he knocked his brains out that is, the small thrifle he had and down he fell spacheless.
'Talkin' of money, says the waiver; 'by the same token, I'll want a thrifle o' change from you for my thravellin' charges. 'As much as you plaze, says the king; and with the word, he brought him into his closet, where there was an owld stockin' in an oak chest, burstin' wid goolden guineas.
