potatoes�察    。�MY     LITTLE       POTATOES。Thady            does    not  mean     by   this 

expression that his potatoes were less than other people's�察�or less than the 

usual size。 LITTLE is here used only as an Italian diminutive�察�expressive 

of fondness。�А�and put up my bed there�察�and every post´day I looked in the 

newspaper�察�but no news of my master in the House�察�he never spoke good

or bad�察�but�察�as the butler wrote down word to my son Jason�察�was very ill´ 

used by the Government about a place that was promised him and never 

given�察�after his supporting them against   his conscience very  honourably�察�

and   being   greatly   abused   for   it�察  �which   hurt   him   greatly�察  �he   having   the 

name of   a  great   patriot  in   the country  before。         The house  and living in 

Dublin   too   were   not   to   be   had   for   nothing�察  �and   my   son   Jason   said�察  �'Sir 

Condy must soon be looking out for a new agent�察�for I've done my part�察�

and   can   do   no   more。     If   my   lady   had   the   bank   of   Ireland   to   spend�察  �it 

would   go   all   in   one   winter�察  �and   Sir   Condy   would   never   gainsay   her�察�

though he does not care the rind of a lemon for her all the while。' 

     Now I could not bear to hear Jason giving out after this manner against 

the family�察�and twenty people standing by in the street。 Ever since he had 

lived at the   Lodge of his   own he looked down�察�howsomever�察�upon poor 

old Thady�察�and was grown quite a great gentleman�察�and had none of his 

relations near him�察�no wonder he was no kinder to poor Sir Condy than to 

his   own   kith   or   kin。   ��KITH   AND   KIN�此  �family   or   relations。   KIN   from 

KIND�察�KITH from we know not what。�А�In the spring it was the villain that 

got the list of the debts from him brought down the custodiam�察�Sir Condy 

still attending his duty in Parliament and I could scarcely believe my own 

old eyes�察�or the spectacles with which I read it�察�when I was shown my son 

Jason's name joined in the custodiam�察�but he told me it was only for form's 

sake�察�and to make things easier than if all the land was under the power of 

a   total   stranger。   Well�察  �I   did   not   know   what   to   think�察  �it   was   hard   to   be 

talking ill of my own�察�and I could not but grieve for my poor master's fine 

estate�察  �all   torn   by   these   vultures   of   the   law�察  �so   I   said   nothing�察  �but   just 

looked on to see how it would all end。 

     It was not till the month of June that he and my lady came down to the 

country。      My     master    was    pleased    to   take   me   aside    with   him    to  the 

brewhouse   that   same   evening�察  �to   complain   to   me   of   my   son   and   other 

matters�察�in which he said he was confident I had neither art nor part�察�he 

said a great deal more to me�察�to whom he had been fond to talk ever since 

he was my white´headed boy before he came to the estate�察�and all that he 

said about poor Judy I can never forget�察�but scorn to repeat。                     He did not 

say   an   unkind   word   of   my   lady�察  �but   wondered�察  �as   well   he   might�察  �her

relations would do nothing for him or her�察�and they in all this great distress。 

He did not take anything long to heart�察�let it be as it would�察�and had no 

more malice or thought of the like in him than a child that can't speak�察�this 

night it was all out of his head before he went to his bed。              He took his jug 

of whisky´ punchmy lady was grown quite easy about the whisky´punch 

by this time�察�and so I did suppose all was going on right betwixt them till I 

learnt   the   truth   through   Mrs。   Jane�察  �who   talked   over   the   affairs   to   the 

housekeeper�察  �and   I   within   hearing。      The   night   my   master   came   home�察�

thinking of nothing at all but just making merry�察�he drank his bumper toast 

'to the deserts of that old curmudgeon my father´in´law�察�and all enemies at 

Mount   Juliet's   Town。'      Now   my   lady   was   no   longer   in     the   mind   she 

formerly was�察�and did noways relish hearing her own friends abused in her 

presence�察�she said。 

     'Then why don't they show themselves your friends ' said my master�察�

'and oblige me with the loan of the money I condescended�察�by your advice�察�

my dear�察�to ask�拭      �It's now three posts since I sent off my letter�察�desiring in 

the postscript a speedy answer by the return of the post�察�and no account at 

all from them yet。' 

     'I expect they'll write to ME next post��' says my lady�察�and that was all 

that passed then�察�but it was easy from this to guess there was a coolness 

betwixt them�察�and with good cause。 

     The next morning�察�being post´day�察�I sent off the gossoon early to the 

post´office�察�to see was there any letter likely to set matters to rights�察�and he 

brought back one with the proper post´ mark upon it�察�sure enough�察�and I 

had no time to examine or make any conjecture more about it�察�for into the 

servants'   hall   pops   Mrs。   Jane   with   a   blue   bandbox   in   her   hand�察  �quite 

entirely mad。 

     'Dear ma'am�察�and what's the matter��' says I。 

     'Matter enough��' says she�察�'don't you see my bandbox is wet through�察�

and   my   best   bonnet   here   spoiled�察  �besides   my   lady's�察  �and   all   by   the   rain 

coming in through that gallery window that you might have got mended if 

you'd had any sense�察�Thady�察�all the time we were in town in the winter��' 

     'Sure�察�I could not get the glazier�察�ma'am��' says I。 

     'You might have stopped it up anyhow��' says she。

     'So I�察�did�察�ma'am�察�to the best of my ability�察�one of the panes with the 

old pillow´case�察�and the other with a piece of the old stage green curtain。 

Sure I   was   as careful   as   possible   all the   time   you   were away�察  �and   not   a 

drop of rain came in at that window of all the windows in the house�察�all 

winter�察�ma'am�察�when under my care�察�and now the family's come home�察�and 

it's summer´time�察�I never thought no more about it�察�to be sure�察�but dear�察�it's 

a pity to think of your bonnet�察�ma'am。                But here's what will please you�察�

ma'ama letter from Mount Juliet's Town for my lady。 

     With that she snatches it from me without a word more�察�and runs up 

the   back   stairs   to   my   mistress�察  �I   follows   with   a   slate   to   make   up   the 

window。       This   window  was   in   the   long passage�察�or   gallery�察 �as   my  lady 

gave   out   orders   to   have   it   called�察  �in   the   gallery   leading   to   my   master's 

bedchamber   and   hers。         And   when   I   went   up   with   the   slate�察  �the   door 

having no lock�察�and the bolt spoilt�察�was ajar after Mrs。 Jane�察�and�察�as I was 

busy with the window�察�I heard all that was saying within。 

     'Well�察�what's in your letter�察�Bella�察�my dear��'               says he�此�'you're a long 

time spelling it over。' 

     'Won't   you   shave   this   morning�察  �Sir   Condy��'        says   she�察  �and   put   the 

letter into her pocket。 

     'I   shaved   the   day   before   yesterday��'   said   he�察  �'my   dear�察  �and   that's   not 

what I'm thinking of now�察�but anything to oblige you�察�and to have peace 

and   quietness�察  �my   dear'and   presently   I   had   a   glimpse   of   him   at   the 

cracked   glass   over   the   chimney´piece�察  �standing   up   shaving   himself   to 

please my lady。         But she took no notice�察�but went on reading her book�察�

and Mrs�察�Jane doing her hair behind。 

     'What is it you're reading there�察�my dear��phoo�察�I've cut myself with
