Patsy beat his fists together.
"I've been looking for that pair of playboys for a full year," he barked.
"Do you know them?" said Billy the Music, with equal excitement.
"I don't know them, but I met them, and the girl yonder met them too, the thieves!"
"They are a pair of dirty dogs," said Mary coldly.
"And when I do meet them," said Patsy savagely, "I'll kill the pair of them: I will so.
Billy the Music laughed.
"I wouldn't try killing them lads; I did try it once, but they wouldn't let me. Tell us what they did to yourself, and then I'll go on with my story, for I'm real curious about those two."
Mac Cann put his pipe into his pocket.
