Oscar, said his grandmother a day or two after as he came into the kitchen with Tiger,

You shut up, Bridget,--nobody spoke to you,
gpt
Shet up, did ye say? Faith, if ye don't git shet up yerself where ye won't git out in a hurry, afore ye 're many years older, it 'll be because ye don't git yer desarts. Ye 're a bad b'y, that ye are, an'--
