But if this fellow, Theophilus Lovaway did ever you hear such a name? if he wants fairies he must hear about them. You'll have to get hold of a few people who go in for that sort of thing. Now what about Patsy Doolan's mother? She's old enough, and she looks like a witch herself." "If the like of the talk of Patsy Doolan's mother would be giving him is any use I'll see he's satisfied.
So Aunt Becky, with Lily's leave, called in Dominick, to examine him touching the soundness of Pat Doolan's mind, and the honest footman had no hesitation in pronouncing him wholly non compos. 'Pleasant praying with a chap like that, by Jove, as drunk as an owl, and as mad as a March hare! my dear Ma'am, whispered Toole to Lilias.
