“The rule for hospitality and Irish “help,” is, to have the same dinner every day throughout the year. At last, Mrs. O’Shaughnessy learns to cook it to a nicety, the host learns to carve it, and the guests are well served.”

“I think it better that in times like these
A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right.”
