To get into his wife's good graces.

Well Mary the foal's sould at last.

Mrs. Granahan.

I've a crow to pluck wi' you over that same foal, William Granahan. I suppose they did you as usual.

Getting angry.

Nine and thirty year ha'e I gone till market and no man, woman, child, dog or divil ever got the better of me in a bargain yet and right well you know it.

With pride.

I soul' the foal for thirty poun' not a ha'penny less.
