 I'm very thankful to you all to-day

Sara Tansey, Susan Brady, Honor Blake! What in glory has you here at this hour of day?

That's the man killed his father.

I know well it's the man; and I'm after putting him down in the sports below for racing, leaping, pitching, and the Lord knows what.

That's right, Widow Quin. I'll bet my dowry that he'll lick the world.

If you will, you'd have a right to have him fresh and nourished in place of nursing a feast. (Taking presents.) Are you fasting or fed, young fellow?

Fasting, if you please.
