May the ragin' dry thirst in my own ould bones go to you that you shall niver pass bottle full nor glass empty. God preserve the light av your onder-standin' to you, my jewel av a bhoy, that ye may niver forget what you mint to be an' do, whin you're wallowin' in the muck!
"Now, it may be putty hard for you to understand the situation, and I'm free to say that I can't make it so very plain, but I'll do the best I can. One day, a long time ago, old General Lundsford came to me long after I had wallowed him, you understand. And now as to that wallowin', why, he could have killed me if he had wanted to. He's game.
"What think ye o' the keeper this time, Rodereek?" asked the boatman as they drove away. "Oo, it wull be the same as last time," answered the groom. "He'll haud on for a while, an' then he wull co pack like the soo to her wallowin' i' the mire." "I doubt ye're richt," returned Ian, with a solemn shake of the head.
"Whin all was in the house again, I niver asked for bukshish but dhruv tremenjus in the opp'site way from the other carr'ge an' put out my lights. Presintly, I saw a naygur-man wallowin' in the road.

Then we trims in the jigger and gets away from it. Two minutes later and we've got the engine started and are wallowin' along towards land.
He led the way and I followed him into the dark shadow of a tree. "I forgot to tell you not to say anything about that," said he. "About what?" I asked. "About wallowin' him the old General. He requested me not to mention it, bein' so proud, and I told him that I wouldn't, and I don't know what made me speak of it to-day, but I did."
"Ye won't nuver make no headway with none of 'em whilst ye goes round lookin' es bristly an' es dirty es a razor-back hog thet's done been wallowin' in ther mire.
