Hyacinth Halvey: He is surely the one is raging through the street.

Peter Tannian: Why wouldn’t he be him?  Is it likely there would be two of them in it at the one time?

Shawn Early: A queer cut of a dog he was; a lurcher, a bastard hound.

Peter Tannian: I would say him to be about the size of the foal of a horse.

Mrs. Broderick: Didn’t he behave well not to do ourselves an injury?

Bartley Fallon: It is likely he will do great destruction.  I wouldn’t say but I felt the weight of him and his two paws around my neck.

Hyacinth Halvey: I will go out following him.

Shawn Early:  (Holding him).  Oh, let you not endanger yourself!  It is the peelers should go follow him, that are armed with their batons and their guns.

Hyacinth Halvey: I’ll go.  He might do some injury going through the town.

Mrs. Broderick: Ah now, it is not yourself we would let go into danger!  It is Peter Tannian should go, if any person should go.

Peter Tannian: Is it Hyacinth Halvey you are taking to be so far before myself?

Mrs. Broderick: Why wouldn’t he be before you?

Peter Tannian: Ask him what was he in Carrow?  Ask was he a sort of a corner-boy, ringing the bell, pumping water, gathering a few coppers in the daytime for to scatter on a game of cards.

Hyacinth Halvey: Stop your lies and your chat!

Mrs. Broderick:  (to Tannian) You are going light in the head to talk that way.

Shawn Early: He is, and queer in the mind.  Take care did he get a bite from the dog, that left some venom working in his blood.

Hyacinth Halvey: So he might, and he having a sort of a little rent in his sleeve.

Peter Tannian: I to have got a bite from the dog, is it?  I did not come anear him at all.  You to strip me as bare as winter you will not find the track of his teeth.  It is Shawn Early was nearer to him than what I was.

Shawn Early: I was not nearer, or as near as what Mrs. Broderick was.

Mrs. Broderick: I made away when I saw him.  My chest is not the better of it yet.  Since I left off fretting I got gross.  I am that nervous I would run from a blessed sheep, let alone a dog.

Shawn Early: To see any of the signs of madness upon him, it is Mr. Halvey the sergeant would look to for to make his report.

Hyacinth Halvey: So I would make a report.

Peter Tannian: Is it that you lay down you can see signs?  Is that the learning they were giving you in Carrow?

Mrs. Broderick: Don’t be speaking with him at all.  It is easy know the signs.  A person to be laughing and mocking, and that would not have the same habits with yourself, or to have no fear of things you would be in dread of, or to be using a different class of food.
