"They're doing that!" said Patsy.
"They are doing that, Padraig. It's O'Brien is the worst, for the other fellow is only helping him and doesn't care for me at all. Catching me they do be, and holding me...."
"Aye!" said Patsy.
"I can't get away from O'Brien," said she, "and I thought that if I could find yourself——"
"You were looking for me?"
"I was looking for you this time, Padraig."
"Aye!" said Patsy, and he turned a black eye on Brien O'Brien, and his eye looked like a little, hard ball of stone.
"You'll be left alone from this day out," said Patsy.
"Mind yourself!" growled Brien O'Brien. "Mind yourself, my hardy man, or you'll waken up among the spooks."
Patsy held him with that solid eye.
