Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories of the Irish Peasantry ´It´s what I wanted to spake to your honour about,´ said Sandy Donovan, who had entered my cousin´s breakfast-room, and made her his best bow; ´it´s what I wanted, my lady, is the lend of a loan of two-and-sixpence, if it would be plasing to ye; and I´ll work it out in any way convenient - either in going messages to the squire, or anywhere else in the three kingdoms at a moment´s notice; or taking a hand at the knives, whin Misther Langan, or Mike, or the footboy himself, has no mind to be dirting their hands wid their work, and yer honour wanting them to be clane before the quality; or driving the cows home, if the ould cowboy would be sick, or "overtaken," which will happen to any, let alone a boy of his years; or - but to be sure,´ added Sandy, after a pause, as if to give weight to some peculiarly onerous service he was about to proffer - ´to be sure, yer honour nor the masther are never in trouble that way, like yer neighbours - if you war, bedad! there isn´t a boy in the barony would bate the bailiffs wid greater joy than myself! - and Sandy´s eyes brightened, and his hand grasped more firmly the handle of his good shillala; he looked what he really was, a fine handsome gay-hearted ´boy´ of about nineteen - certainly not twenty. ´Well, Sandy,´ replied my cousin, smiling, ´I will lend you the half-crown; and you shall repay it me, not in labour - for I require my servants to do their own work but in money.´ ´Och, ma´am dear, that´s hard upon me intirely. I´d rather work it out.´ ´But isn´t your time your money? Cannot you sell that time to some other person, and discharge your debt out of the produce?´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
