"And which, friend, is the way to the ancient house? Can I reach it by following the path I saw you in, that leads through the woods?"
"Why, you would not go there?"
"Not go there? Why should I not?"
"And to-night?"
"Aye, to-night, or any other night, why not?"
" There's noot to be found there, I'll promise you," said the man, who seemed to shudder at the temerity of my design, while he doubted its motives. "No, no, there's nothing to be found there; the Priests took care of that. -- Some old rubbishy things, indeed, some folks do say , be yet in the old rambling rooms; but, for my part, I'se not go aboot amongst them, special of a night, if there was a bushel of gold to be got as my reward."
"But why not? Where is the danger?"
" Bless you , Master," cried the peasant, " it's easy to see you are but a stranger in this country, or you'd never ask such questions. Why, mon , the Abbey is haunted."
(Vol. 1,p. 19-20)"Why, you would not go there?"

Speakers: All , Mrs Gournay
"If I might be so bold, young lady," said she, "as to give my humble opinion, I should take the liberty for to say, that it mid be very imprudent to appear all at once, as it were, and of a sudden afore his honour, seeing as he seems to be so grieved at heart about my late young master as to be sorry to see any other person as 'twere . -- The blessed Lady give him patience, poor gentleman! though for sartain he have been but very mollencholie and cast down for many a year, the more is the pity. Now I would humbly mention to you, that if his honour does not know all of a minute that you are here, why we can tell him by little and little; whereas if we go for to tell him without some preamble, there is no saying how he may take it. This house is very large, and nobody never in it but Father Golgota and Father Galezza , both pious men, and very worthy of trust, and myself and Mr. Camus the steward, and the inferior sarvants , which is only an house-maid, a cook, and laundry-maid ; and two men sarvents , trusty men, who have lived a many years with his honour: so that, if you please , Miss you and this gentlewoman may bide for the present without any one's being the wiser but me and the steward, and the housemaid, and she won't say a word about it; only when the reverend Father Golgota comes home, I must consult him thereon; for to be sure I would not upon no account whatsomever keep a secret from him. I'll try to be sure to make things as comfortable and such like, as I can. Father Golgota will be back shortly, and both me and Mr. Camus are sure 'twill be preferable not as yet to speak to Sir Mordaunt."

"Yes, alas ! he did say so indeed; and moreover, says he , I would have you from this time forward take notice that I have no child: and that any servant who dares to interfere in my family concerns shall be discharged, says he , without more ado."

" Ah! Miss," said she, "what shall I do about Father Galezza? When confession day comes for us servants, what shall I do? for I declare I had almost rather jump into the fire than tell the father: then, to be sure , he will set me such a penance as never was the like, and nobody can tell what it will end in."
Edourda inquired in what respect she thought herself so much to blame? "To blame, Miss?" replied the girl. " Why , it was my fault for leaving of the doors open, contrary to the orders both of Mrs. Gournay, Mr. Camus, and Father Galezza. -- 'Twas my carelessness, to be sure ; and oh, blessed Jesu ! what a fright I was in when I found, upon coming to make your bed, that you was gone out ! And if any harm had come of it, I must have answered for it, as indeed I must now to Father Galezza, and undergo a sharp penance beside."

"Oh! Miss, all as I ever learns is by odds and ends as 'twere . Mrs. Gournay was in a sad quondary just now, as she came out from Sir Mordaunt's room, and said she was surprised how Father Galezza could think of staying past his time, as if nothing was the matter. Why , lauk , Mrs. Gournay, says I , what is the matter? So, says she , Matter enough though, I sha'n't satisfy nobody's curiosity , says she ; but, says she , F ather Galezza nor nobody else can expect of me or Mr. Camus neither, to on in this here kind of way . Let us be paid ever so well, that is no reason why we should be ever now and then in danger of our lives.!

"Not in the street, by Jasus !" cried an Irish officer who had witnessed the preceding scene; "you had better go home with the lady abbess." "Indeed, I want none of his company," said the old lady; at the same time repeating her request that the coachman would drive on. "There may be some mistake," cried the Irish officer; "give me lave , I will spake to the young woman:" then turning to Clarissa, "Has she offered you a fair price?" said he. "Indeed, gentleman," replied Clarissa, greatly terrified at the appearance of the crowd, "she has agreed to give me all I asked, and I am perfectly satisfied." " Oh , by saint Patrick ," cried the officer, "it is a fair bargain; and let me see the man that dares be after attempting to take the old lady's goods out of her hands."

"Take my advice, sir," said he, addressing himself to Freeman, "call him out, and damn me, pink him; whip him through the lungs, and get the secret from him dead or alive."
"Don't swear, friend," said the methodist preacher; "it shocks my ears to hear your profaneness; -- the Lord will certainly visit with you for it;-- you forget the commandment that forbids you to swear."
"And by Jasus ," cried the officer, "you forget the commandment that says, 'Thou shalt not be after committing adultery."
