Learoyd was still in hospital, recovering from fever picked up in Burma. They sent me an invitation to join them, and were genuinely pained when I brought beer almost enough beer to satisfy two Privates of the Line ... and Me. "'Twasn't for that we bid you welkim, sorr," said Mulvaney, sulkily. "Twas for the pleasure av your comp'ny."
"An' welkim, Barny," said Peter Kelly. "And sure," said Barny, "why shouldn't you do the same, and they are ready to your hand? as much as to say, why don't you profit by me, Peter Kelly? And the boat is below there in the harbor, and, I'll say this much, the divil a betther boat is betune this and herself."
"I will, Sol, a whole rood of 'em," said Old Brownsmith, "and thank ye for the advice." "Quite welkim," said Brother Solomon to the horse's ears. "Jump up." He seemed to say this to Shock, who stared at him, wrinkled up his face, and shook his head. "Yes, jump up, Grant, my lad," said Old Brownsmith. "Fine evening for your drive."
"Good mornin', an' 'tis a foin bit of scenery, but we can't ate it, an' we'd die afore we'd go into the poorhouse, an' a thrifle of money for a dhraw at the pipe would be as welkim as the flowers of May, an' 'tis England is the grate counthry, and thim that was in it says that Englishmen is tin per cint. betther than Irishmen, aye, twinty per cint." and so forth, and so forth.
The whiskey was lent and returned, but Dinah Shadd, who had been just as eager as her husband in asking after old friends, rent me with "I take shame for you, sorr, coming down here though the Saints know you're as welkim as the daylight whin you do come an' upsettin' Terence's head wid your nonsense about about fwhat's much better forgotten. He bein' a civilian now, an' you niver was aught else.
"Well, away we wint, for more nor a week, and nothin' before our two good-lookin' eyes but the canophy iv heaven and the wide ocean the broad Atlantic; not a thing was to be seen but the sae and the sky; and though the sae and the sky is mighty purty things in themselves, throth, they're no great things when you've nothin' else to look at for a week together; and the barest rock in the world, so it was land, would be more welkim.
Ortheris took out his house-wife, eased the trouble with a needle, stabbed Mulvaney in the calf with the same weapon, and was swiftly kicked into the fire. 'I've bruk the best av my toes over you, ye grinnin' child av disruption, said Mulvaney, sitting cross-legged and nursing his feet; then seeing me, 'Oh, ut's you, sorr! Be welkim, an' take that maraudin' scutt's place.
Be welkim, an' take that maraudin' scutt's place, Jock, hold him down on the cindhers for a bit." But Ortheris escaped and went elsewhere, as I took possession of the hollow he had scraped for himself and lined with his greatcoat. Learoyd on the other side of the fire grinned affably and in a minute fell fast asleep.
You listen what old O'Grady says. You see if he don't say, `Well done, me boys! Ye are welkim as the flures of May. I say, ask him how many miles it is to where our fellows lie." "No, Punch, you do it." "No, I ain't going to try." "Well, look here; these men have been very good to us, and we ought to show that we are grateful. How is it to be done?" "I don't know," said Punch.
The whiskey was lent and returned, but Dinah Shadd, who had been just as eager as her husband in asking after old friends, rent me with 'I take shame for you, Sorr, coming down here though the Saints know you're as welkim as the daylight whin you DO come an' upsettin' Terence's head wid your nonsense about about fwhat's much better forgotten. He bein' a civilian now, an' you niver was aught else.
