The poetical contribution to this chapter must be: 

 " Conversation between two carmen, one a stranger 

 in the country, who are * afther lavin some gintlemen 

 at the mate of the Kildare Dogs.' " The hounds are 

 at fault close by where the cars are standing. 



Were y'iver before in the County Kildare? 

 If ye were not bedad it's meself will declare 

 Such a dishtrict it is as ye hardly can think 

 For huntin' and courtin' and lashins of drink. 

 There goes Sir Edward the bould little masther. 

 He sticks to his saddle as if he were plasther; 

 He's fond of his hounds and he's fond of his sport, 

 I wish we could find a few more of his sort. 

 Who's that little man with short coat and pot hat, 

 Eyes wide open and riding a thing like a rat? 

 Tis the Sir's brother Bob and like blazes he rides
