Yes, it was hard by the howe goesº there,º ^|4plainly^4| on this disoluded spotº, rupestric then, resurfaced that now is, in the saddle of Brennan'sº pass, ^|v4miles versts ^v4| from true civilisation, where livland yontide meared with the wilde, saltlea with flood, that the attackler,º though under medium, withº truly native pluckº engaged him who, forº plunder sake, he mistook in the heavy rain to be somebody else to whom he bore some facial resemblance, making use of sacrilegious languages to the effect that he would cannonise the b—y b—r's life out of him and lay him out contritely as soon as the b—r had his b—y nightprayers said, atº the same time catching holst of an oblong bar he had and with which he usually broke furnitures he rose the stick at him.

— Letº me go, Paudheen!º I hardly knew ye.

Laterº on the same manº (or a different and younger ham of the same himº) asked with a very eggly chew-chin-grin as if he forgot somethingº:

— Wasº six victorios fifteen pigeon takee offa you, tell he me, strongfella, by pickypockyº ten to four months behindaside?

Thereº ^|4was were^4| some further severe tries to convert for the best part of an hour and now a wooden affair in the shape of a webley fell from the intruserº who thereupon became friendly and wanted to know, laying all joking and knobkerries aside, if his ^|4chance change^4| companion,º who stuck still to the invention of his strongbox, happened to have the loots change of a tenpound crickler about him at the moment, addling that,º hap so, he would pay him back the six vics odd, do you see, out of that for what was taken on the man of samples last Yuni or Yuly, do you follow me?

Nowthen, leaving clashing ash, brawn and muscle and brassmade to oust earthenbornº and coming along gradually to the question of unlawfully obtaining a pierced paraflamme and fireguard,º there crops out the still more salient point of the politish leanings and town pursuits of our forebeer, who,º when mistakenly ambushed and as close as made no matter to being revolvered offhandº when the heckler with the Peter the Painter wanted to hole him, was consistently practising the first of the primary

The gathering, convened to help the Irish muck to look his brother dane in the face,º and attended by large numbers, tospite of the deluge, was distinctly of a scattery kind when the animal ate some of the ^|4doorway doorweg^4|, King later selling the gentleman ratepayer because she ate a whole side of herº sty,º Qui Sta Troia, in order to pay off six doubloons fifteen arrears of his, the villain's not the rumbler's,º rent. Remarkable evidence was given, anon, by an eye, ear, nose and throat witness, W— P—,º who smiledº and stated to his eliciter thatº he was pleasedº to remember the filth of November which was going, please the Rainmaker, to decemb into the ephemerides of profane history and thatº one thing which would particularly strike a person of such sorely tried observational powers as Sam, him and Moffattº the striking thing about it was that he was patrified to see, hear, taste and smellº on Struggle Streetº as his time of night howº Hyacinth O'Donnell, B.A.,º ^|4a mixer described in the calendar as a mixer and wordpainterº^4|, with part of a dungfork on the fair green sought to sack, sock, stab and slaughter singlehanded another two of the old kings, Gush MacGaleº and Roaring O'Crian, both of no address and in noncommunicables, between him and whom bad blood existed on the ground of trespass on the bullº or because they could not say meace, meatheº.

Butº a new complexion was put upon the matter when to the perplexedlyº uncondemnatory bench the first

And this the sockdologer had the neck to endorse with the head bowed on him over his outturned noreaster by protesting to his lipreaders with a justbeencleaned barefacedness, abeam of ^|4moonlight soap moonlight's hope^4|, in the same trelawney what he would impart^|4, pleas bench,^4| to Jesus and the gentlemen in Jury's that heº might never ask to see sight or light of this world or ^|4the other world or^4| any other world, as true as he was there in that jackabox that minute, or wind the inexousthausthible wassailhorn with his heroes in Warhorror,º if ever ^|4in all his exchequered career^4| he up or lave a ^|4hand chancery handº^4| to take or throw the sign of a mortal stick or stone at man, yoelamb or salvation army either before or after being puptised down to that most holy and everº blessed hour.

Mush spread. On Umbrella Street a kind workman gave him a piece of hisº wood. Cracklings crickledº. A human pest cycling ^|4and recycling^4| about the sledgy streets of the gardencity,º here he was again! He was loose at large and might be anywhere.º Morse nuisance noisedº when a disguised nun of huge build and masculine manners, Mother Gygasta, hattracted hattention in a hominibuzzº.

By order, Nickellous Plugg! Andº this go, no pentecostal jest about it, there had been real murder: theº boys, it was, that ^|4(+had^+)4| done him in. Indeed not a few thick and thin wellwishers even ventured so far as to loan or beg copies of the evening triweeklies so as to make certain sure onetime of his having become genuinely quite

But on the morrowing morn of the suicidal murder of the unrescued expatriate a quarter of nine saw the infallible spike of smokeº jutstiff punctualº from the seventh gable of his buttertower and tenº thirsty p.m.,º theº lamps of maintenance, innerhalbº the zigguratº, being litten for the long lifesnight, aº suffusion of transom and leadlight panes.

Who, but who (for second time of asking),º was then the scourge of the parts about Lucalizod,º it was wont to be asked, as, in ages behind of the Homo Capite Erectus, what price Peabody's money, or, to put it bluntly, ^|4where whence^4| is the ^|4harrington's herrington'sº^4| white cravat, as, in epochs more cainozoic, who struck Buckley,º though nowadays ^|4as thentimes^4| every schoolfilly of sevenscore moons or more and every colleen bawl aroof and every redflammelwaving warwife and widowpeace upon Dublin Wall for ever knows how it was Buckleyself who struck and the Russian general instead of Buckley who was struck by him when byº himself.

The loungelizards of the pumproomº had their nine days' jeer when, still believing that the upper reach of her face and her impermanent waves were the better half of her, one nearer him, dearer than all, woman of the man of the houseº and mother of all the mackavicks, she who had given ^|4her his^4| eye for ^|4his her^4| bed and a tooth for a child, sheº who will not rast her from her running to seek him till such timesº that she shall have been after hiding theº crumbends of his enormousness in the areyouº lookingfor Pearlfar sea, stoodº forth, dragging the countryside in her train,º to crush the slander's head.
