"Thin," says he, the willian, "Och hon! and a wolly-wou, pully-wou,"
and then wid that he shoved up his two shoulders till the divil the
bit of his hid was to be diskivered, and then he let down the two
corners of his purraty-trap, and thin not a haporth more of the
satisfaction could I git out o' the spalpeen.
Belave me, my jewel, it was Sir Pathrick that was unreasonable mad
thin, and the more by token that the Frinchman kipt an wid his winking
at the widdy; and the widdy she kept an wid the squazing of my
flipper, as much as to say, "At him again, Sir Pathrick O'Grandison,
mavourneen:" so I just ripped out wid a big oath, and says I;
"Ye little spalpeeny frog of a bog-throtting son of a bloody noun!"-
and jist thin what d'ye think it was that her leddyship did? Troth she
jumped up from the sofy as if she was bit, and made off through the
door, while I turned my head round afther her, in a complate
bewilderment and botheration, and followed her wid me two peepers. You
percave I had a reason of my own for knowing that she couldn't git
down the stares althegither and intirely; for I knew very well that
I had hould of her hand, for the divil the bit had I iver lit it go.
