rumnin', or wrastin' or the like o that,
none could come Lear him and at gat-
thern, or fair, or the dance, or the wake,
kishogue was the ilower Of the lock
Well, to be sure, the gintiencu iv the
country did not beloye him 80 well as his
own sort--that is the elderly gintlenen, for
as to the young squrcs, by gov, they loved
nim like one Ui themselves and better al
most, for they knew well that klshogue
was the boy to put them up to all sorts
and sizes of divilmint and diyarshuu, and
that was MI they wanted--Dut the study
(slcady) siptcmen, the responsible people
