If you'd seen him astonishin' Mrs. Gineral Brady you'd 'a' seen a sight now. I was proud that day." Mike smiled with satisfaction and reached for the broom. His mother said nothing, but not a move escaped her critical eye.

She's always got the bist of the argumint, but I'm thinkin' that would cork her. You won't?" questioned Jimmy resentfully. "Kape it to yoursilf, thin, like you did your wine." He shoved the bucket toward the barkeeper, and emptied his pocket on the bar.
It's oine of suspended animation. "`Blatheration, Terence, I cried at hearing this. `You'll be a case of suspended animation yoursilf by-and-bye. "`Faith, how's that? says he. `What do you mean?
