CORNELIUS. Arra why?
LARRY. I have strong opinions which wouldn't suit you.
DORAN [rallying him blatantly]. Is it still Larry the bould Fenian?
LARRY. No: the bold Fenian is now an older and possibly foolisher man.
CORNELIUS. Hwat does it matter to us hwat your opinions are? You know that your father's bought his farm, just the same as Mat here n Barney's mill. All we ask now is to be let alone. You've nothin against that, have you?
LARRY. Certainly I have. I don't believe in letting anybody or anything alone.
CORNELIUS [losing his temper]. Arra what d'ye mean, you young fool? Here I've got you the offer of a good seat in parliament; n you think yourself mighty smart to stand there and talk foolishness to me. Will you take it or leave it?
LARRY. Very well: I'll take it with pleasure if you'll give it to me.
CORNELIUS [subsiding sulkily]. Well, why couldn't you say so at once? It's a good job you've made up your mind at last.
DORAN [suspiciously]. Stop a bit, stop a bit.
