"Be the scales av the divil!" he shivered, "is ut a big, mottled snake I see, or have I got what always I feared I might get some day. Is ut the D.T.'s I've got, I wonder? How come the reptile here, anyhow, byes?","Now, then, cheer up, Paddy!" he says to the boy: "yonder lies an oasis in our howling wilderness.",“My dear Johnny! No, no!”，Lou knit her brows in thought.

When you see her you will understand how the word 'low' could never apply to her.

He whirled about the room whistling and imitating some of the cadenzas and other passages from the selection just played.
