Bartley Fallon: Nothing at all to see. It would be best for us to have stopped where we were.
Mrs. Broderick: Running like foals to see it, and nothing to be in it worth while.
Hyacinth Halvey: What was it was in it?
Shawn Early: Nothing at all but some lads that were running in pursuit of a dog.
Bartley Fallon: Near knocked us they did, and they coming round the corner of the wall.
Hyacinth Halvey: Is it that it was a mad dog?
Peter Tannian: Ah, what mad? Mad dogs are done away with now by the head Government and muzzles and the police.
Bartley Fallon: They are more watchful over them than they used. But all the same, you to see a strange dog afar off, you would be uneasy, thinking it might be yourself he would be searching out as his prey.
Mrs. Broderick: Sure, there did a dog go mad through Galway, and the whole town rose against him, and flocked him into a corner, and shot him there. He did no harm after, he being made an end of at the first.
Shawn Early: It might be that dog they were pursuing after was mad, on the head of being under the full moon.
