Excerpt from Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry, Vol. 2 of 4
In mentioning my grandfather's fight with Mucklemurray, I happened to name them blackguards the o'hallaghans hard fortune to the same set, for they have no more disere tion in their quarrels than so many Egyptian mummies, African buffoons, or any other uncivilised animals. It was one of them, he that's married to my own fourth cousin, Biddy o'callaghan, that knocked two of my grinders out, for which piece of civility I have just had the satisfaction of breaking a splinter or two in his carcase, being always honestly disposed to pay my debts.
