they will, but commend me, Mr.
Morrow, to some of the ould squires of former times for a landlord.
The priests, with all their larning, were nothing to him for good
breeding--he appeared so free, and so much at his ase, and even so
respectful, that I don't think there was one in the house but would put
their two hands under his feet to do him a sarvice.

"When he sat a while, my mother-in-law came over with a glass of nice
punch that she had mixed, at least equal to what the friar praised so
well, and making a low curtshy, begged pardon for using such freedom
with his honor, but hoped that he would just taste a little to the
happiness of the young couple. He then drank our healths, and shuck

neglect--but you will not neglect them; and be assured, I say again,
that I shall feel pleasure in rendhering you every assistance in my
