Them O'Callaghans think they're some since General Brady picked 'em up,
gpt
General Brady had never heard of them when Pat gave you a licking, Jim, or don't you remember?
human
Say, Jim, advised a crony, as the two sauntered off together,
gpt
He's been runnin' lawn mowers all summer, observed Jim reflectively.
human
I reckon he's got his muscle up. Don't know but we had best leave him alone.
gpt
Let me tell you, Jim, 'twon't do just to let him alone. We've got to let 'em all alone--Andy and Jim and Barney and Tommie--or he'll light into us same as Pat did into you.
human
Why can't a fellow do just his own fightin', grumbled Jim Barrows,
gpt
Some of 'em can, but the O'Callaghans ain't that kind. Touch one, touch 'em all, as you'd ought to know, Jim.
human
Oh, shut up! You needn't be throwin' up that lickin' to me every minute. I was surprised, I tell you. Astonished, as I might say. I wasn't lookin' to be pitched into by a low down Irish boy.
gpt
Oh, wasn't you? queried his friend ironically.
human
Well, you keep on a-hectorin', and you'll be surprised again, or astonished, as you might say. That's all.
