Mary, he whispered,
gpt
I want to talk to you.
human
I want to talk to yourself,
gpt
What do you want to say?
human
I want to know where you got the money that I saw in your hand when you buried the man?
gpt
That's what I'm going to tell you about, he whispered.
human
Be listening to me now and don't make any noise.
gpt
I'm listening to you,
human
What have we got to do with these lads behind us? said Patsy urgently.
gpt
They are nothing to us at all, and I'm tired of them.
human
There's a thing to say!
gpt
This is what we'll do. To-night we won't unyoke the ass, and when they are well asleep we'll walk quietly off with ourselves and leave them there. Eileen Ni Cooley will come with us and in the morning we'll be distant.
human
I won't do that,
gpt
You'll do what I say, you strap, or it'll be the worse for you!
human
I won't do that, she hissed,
gpt
By the living Jingo...!
human
What have you done on the men? said she.
gpt
What did you do on them that you want to run away from them in the night?
human
Keep your tongue in your teeth, you----!
gpt
Where were you for a day and a half? Where did you get the money from that I saw in your hand when you buried the man?
human
There's no fooling you, alannah, and I'll tell you the truth.
gpt
This is what I did. I went to that place by Ard-Martin where we buried the things, and I dug them up.
human
Oh!
gpt
I dug them up, and I took them away, and I sold them to a man for money.
human
Oh!
gpt
They're sold, do you hear? And there's no going back on it; so do what I tell you about the ass this night and we'll take our own road from now on.
human
I won't do it,
gpt
You won't do it! said he.
human
What will you do then against your father?
gpt
I'll go on to the place with the men,
human
You'll come with me this night.
gpt
I'll not go,
human
You'll come with me this night,
gpt
I'll not go,
human
Is there anything wrong?
gpt
She's only laughing at a joke I told her, said Patsy.
human
Make that ass go on, Mary a grah, for it's walking as if it was going asleep.
