"It is better that our conversation should be private.",CHAPTER XI EDUCATING THE NEW BOY,“What does that mean?” queried Moses.,He is perhaps disappointed in that every Irish cloak does not conceal a face beautiful as a houri's. And he learns by degrees that only one in ten says "bedad," and that "och murther?" is an expression almost extinct.,“Perhaps, but—”,Landon went on slowly to the kitchen.
