He accordingly resolved to cancel the consequences even of the equivocal allusion to him which he had made, and which he saw at a glance that Caterine's keen suspicions had interpreted into a bad sense.
"So you see, Katty," he proceeded, "agra-machree that you wor, don't lift me, as I said, till I fall; but what harm is it to be fond of a spree wid a purty girl?
Sure it's a good man's case; but I'll tell you more; you must know the misthress's wig took fire this mornin', and she was within an inch of havin' the house in flames.

Ah, it's she that blew a regular breeze, threatened to make the masther and the other two take to their travels from about the house and place, and settle the same house and place upon Mr.Harry." "Well, Barney," said Caterine, deeply interested, "what was the upshot ?" "Why, that Masther Harry--long life to him--parted company wid her on the spot; said he would take part wid the masther and the other two, and tould her to her teeth that he did not care a damn about the property, and that she might leave it as a legacy to ould Nick, who, he said, desarved it better at her hands than he did." "Well, well," replied Caterine, "I never thought he was such a fool as all that comes to.

Devil's cure to him, if she laves it to some one else! that's my compassion for him." "Well, but, Caterine, what's the news?
When will the sky fall, you that knows so much about futurity ?" "The news is anything but good, Barney.

The sky will fall some Sunday in the middle of next week, and then for the lark-catching.

But tell me, Barney, is Mr.Harry within?
because, if he is, I'd thank you to let him know that I wish to see him.
