"'T is in me mind," said Flannery, when the professor had left, "that
th' professor has a whole college of thim educated insects, an' that he
do be lettin' thim have a vacation. Or mebby th' class of 1907 is
graduated an' turned loose from th' university. I had th' base-ball team
an' th' football gang spendin' th' night with me."
"Ho!" said Hogan, gruffly, "'t was th' fellys that does th' high jump
an' th' long jump an' th' wide jump was havin' a meet on Hogan. An' I
will be one of anny ten of us t' tell th' professor t' call th'
scholards back t' school agin. I be but a plain uneducated man, Missus
Muldoon, an' I have no wish t' speak disrespect of thim as is educated,
but th' conversation of a gang of Frinch educated fleas is annoyin' t' a
man that wants t' sleep."
"I will speak t' th' professor, gintlemin," said Mrs. Muldoon, "an'
remonstrate with him. Mary, me girrl," she added, to the maid, who was
passing her chair, "would ye mind givin' me th' least bit of a rub
between me shoulders like? I will speak t' th' professor, for I have no
doubt he has but t' say th' worrd t' his scholards, an' they will all
run back where they belong.
