“O, I saw that as I came past,” said I; “I don’t think there is much accommodation there.”
“O, your honour is clane mistaken; there is always an illigant fire and an illigant bed too.”
“Is there only one bed?” said I.
“O yes, there are two beds, one for the accommodation of the people of the house and the other for that of the visitors.”
“And do the visitors sleep together then?” said I.
“O yes! unless they wish to be unsociable. Those who are not disposed to be sociable sleeps in the chimney-corners.”
“Ah,” said I, “I see it is a very agreeable inn; however, I shall go on to the ‘Pump Saint.’”
“I am sorry for it, your honour, for your honour’s sake; your honour won’t be half so illigantly served at the ‘Pump Saint’ as there above.”
“Of what religion are you?” said I.
“O, I’m a Catholic, just like your honour, for if I am not clane mistaken your honour is an Irishman.”
