PATCHA
Is it the way you are afraid he won’t return?

NEDSERS I’m sure of it.  I know he’ll never return.  He’s the biggest bloody liar in the whole country and the biggest rogue too.

PATCHA (as he jumps out of bed with the blanket around him) The saints and angels protect us all!  Sure I forgot that the parish priest is away in England on his vacation.  And we are to be flung out on the roadside to-morrow, and in our shirts too!
