At the far end of the row lives 'Omadhaun Pat. He is a 'little sthrange, you understand; not because he was born with too small a share of wit, but because he fell asleep one evening when he was lying on the grass up by the old fort, and 'well, he was niver the same thing since. There are places in Ireland, you must know, where if you lie down upon the green earth and sink into untimely slumber, you will 'wake silly'; or, for that matter, although it is doubtless a risk, you may escape the fate of waking silly, and wake a poet!
The course was covered with wounded and disabled men. Some had been struck by the mare's hoofs; others had been run over by the wheels; and a great demand for whisky set in, under cover of which Gordon and Carew retired to the four-in-hand. No one was seriously hurt, except "Omadhaun" Doyle, who had been struck on the head by the big mare's hoof.
Reardon bound and gagged him and laid him tenderly on his back to await developments. "Now thin, Michael," he said to the skipper, "lave us go back an' see can we catch another. At four o'clock, whin this lad fails to return, Misther Uhl, the omadhaun, will sind up another man to see what the divil ails the firrst man." And it was even so. This time it was the oiler.
"But father is waiting for you, Stewart." So, however, was the sniveling old woman waiting! She had not presumed to break in on a conference with another of her sex but when the mayor turned from the lady and started to be concerned with mere men, the old woman asserted her prerogative. "Out of me way. Con Rellihan, ye omadhaun, that I have chased manny the time out o' me patch!
"I ran off like a fool when I heerd of your good fortune, and see the condition that baggage left me in my teeth knocked in and my eye knocked out, and all for your foolery, because you couldn't keep what you got." "Sure, mother, I tell you " "Howld your tongue, you omadhaun! And then I go to Squire O'Grady's to look for you, and there I hear you lost that place, too."
They're rattling at the door like anything, and there's a detestable boy now whistling 'Garry Owen' right into my heart. You can't imagine what I am feeling. Oh, the omadhaun! he is changing it now into 'St. Patrick's Day, Wisha, then, daddy! I must stop, for it's more than the heart of woman can stand. Your affectionate daughter, This letter was posted by Kathleen herself.
'You great stupid omadhaun! she hissed between the shakes, 'that couldn't have the nature in you to see to your own sister, an' she a lone woman! That very day Jack went off stupidly to try to bridge over with Margret the gulf of nearly thirty years. He got very little help from his sister.
Biddie Early Tatter-Jack Walsh Aunt Jug Lundy Foot Matt the Thresher Nora Criona Conan Maol, and Shaun the Omadhaun. Some said that the King of Ireland's Son was there too. The play was "The Unicorn from the Stars." The mummers did it very well although they had no one to take the part of the Unicorn. They were in the middle of the play when Gilly of the Goatskin rushed into the barn.
He lay very still, breathing stertorously, and Jerry the Swell took the trouble to come over to the four-in-hand, and inform them that he thought "Omadhaun" had got percussion of the brain, and that things looked very "omnibus" for him.
