THE EGREGIOUS SLIPPER

WHIZZED LIKE A DRIVEN GROUSE PAST THE COMBATANTS

THE GUARD PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS MOUTH

THE VICTIM CAME

"AND NOT A BROWN FARTHING MORE WOULD HE GIVE"

"I'M DASHED IF SHE HASN'T GOT SULLIVAN'S PONY"

HE CROWNED THE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE BOTTLE OF POTHEEN

"YE HAVE THEM IN GREAT FORM, MICHAEL"

A TRAYFUL OF BURNING SODS OF TURF

PURE ECSTASY STRETCHED HIS GRIN FROM EAR TO EAR

HE DID NOT DENY HIMSELF A MOST DISSOLUTE WINK

"THEY'RE LOVELY FISH ALTOGETHER! THEY'RE LEPPIN' FRESH!"

THE INVALID REMOVED HERSELF

CON BRICKLEY

"LET THE DIVIL CLEAR ME OUT OF THE STHRAND!"

A WITNESS TO BE PROUD OF

HIS MORNINGS WERE SPENT IN PROFFERING IRISH PHRASES

MARIA'S PERFORMANCE WAS FAULTLESS

THE MODULATOR OPENED WITH A LONG-DRAWN AND NASAL CADENZA

THE SERGEANT'S MANNER WAS DISTRESSINGLY APOLOGETIC

"DID YE SEE THE POLICE?"

"IS THAT MY DARLIN' MAJOR YEATES?" SHOUTED THE COOK

"THAT'S A GREAT SIGN OF FINE WEATHER WHEN A HORSE WILL LIE DOWN IN WATHER THAT WAY"

"I WILL WALK—I SHOULD REALLY PREFER IT"

FLURRY AND I PUT IN A BLAZING SEPTEMBER DAY ON THE MOUNTAIN

BRANEY'S LAKE

MY WIFE CAME AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD TAKE HER TO THE WORKHOUSE

AN INTRICATE AND VARIOUSLY MOVING TIDE OF PEOPLE

"THIM'S NO JOKE, SIR, TRIM'S SPRATS!"

"HE KNOWS WHAT'S WHAT!" SAID THE LOCUM

"THEM HOUNDS ARE IN MY FAMILY, SEED AND BREED, THIS HUNDRED YEARS."

"I'LL GO BAIL 'TWAS HIM THAT PICKED ME WIFE'S FASHIONABLE COCKS"
