Oh yes. Oh, that's beautiful. Love there.
More lovely because it's in ruins.
It's so lonely. Forgotten.
Done oran. After all this time, you know, you're still there.
Got a place like this ever built up again on it.
I'll never, too far gone. So still.
Oh, so worms.
Dead and rotten.
Food for worms. Dead and rotten.
Hello.
If death was a thing that's money could buy,
which they would live in the poor, they would toy.
I was thinking of going inside.
It's, it must have been a fine house.
It's where I see grad and how it's in its days are.
Done oran, how it's in its hearts for you.
Sir, how many hearts for you? Where's the last of you or a star?
He lost his life, not six foot away from where you're sitting.

Soaking in biotex removes the stains and dirt
but washing weren't.
Just soak.
Just soak in biotex.
Yeah.
You mind that, Mark, sir?
Seven or eight feet off the ground, sir?
Yes.
You'd add sugar in the foot of the ground, sir.
Maybe eight.
And you're not going to what it is?
Well, I...
I dare say not.
Is it a stain from the weather?
Oh, she's not in so locky, sir.
Not in so locky.
That's a splash of brains and blood.
It stared as hundred years and it'll never leave
while the war's times.
She was murdered then?
Or worse than that, sir.
Kill himself, perhaps?
Or worse than that, sir, if this cross between us and harm.
I am older than I look, sir.
You wouldn't guess me years.
Well, I...
Oh, don't be put out by the hump on me back.
It's been there since me birth and I no longer mind you.
You do it, and might throw a man into a quandary.
If he's asked it, he'd be a return.
Well, I would say you were five and fifty.
I was seventy nine last times to last.
And five and fifty are right.
And some to not the pack of it, sir.
Well, I...
I can hardly believe it.
But you don't remember, sir,
Dominic Sasfield's death, do you?
No, sir. That was a long while before I was born, but me, Grandfather, was Bocler here long ago.
And many a time I heard him how I was heard how many came by his death.
It must have been one of the most beautiful houses in the whole of Ireland, and it's dead.
The wind rips the roof from the rain, rotted the timber, and little by little in 80 years time it came to watch you see.
It was how you have a lake in a rich town with a shake of old times.
They never come this way, but they take a look in.
I don't want to you like it, though.
Beautiful spot.
Not a scene that's snowballed trees.
I wish you'd seen the clean weather not so bright.
They're the sweetest knots in all Ireland to take.
You'd fill your pockets where you'd be looking about you.
Oh, I know.
I know.
Hey, Your Honor, who was about here is not until what they wore.
All of the mountains along here was warded when my father was a cusswooden,
and my little wood was the grandest of them all.
All oak mostly, and all crushed down as bad as the road.
Not one left here that's fit to compare with him.
You which way did Your Honor come here?
They're from lemon.
No, no Kalala.
Where did you pass the grand where my little wood was in the farmer's times?
You came under a listen of order.
The steeped knob of the hill about the village here.
It was near that, as my little wood was.
Hint was there, Sir Dominic Sarsfield.
First, Mr. Tefer, Hint is the life between us and the farmer.
Hint is bad, meeting it was for him and his.
The devil?
Hey.
Hint is ever...
What...
What happened?
I don't know.
She cheated down Your Honor.
And maybe I'll tell it to you.
That'll make your ears stand up on hand.
Yes.
Yes, I'd...
I'd like to...
To be safe in the state, when Sir Dominic came to us.
I faced an infidel in free quarters for all the fiddlers for many miles around.
There was wine by the hudshake for the quality,
and fear and cider enough to throw the navy for the boys and girls in the likes of me.
However, there was money in the fire.
There was money.
And when Sir Dominic came to power, he said about getting rid of it.
He'd educated in England, you know, spoke with the Lardy Dieting.
He showed off his dogs and horses, and he traveled in France.
And he had a great time of it.
But once he was gone, Mary-Macon, for so long,
that her folk heard tell of him for three years or more.
Though the place was kept, of course, waiting on his return,
let me grandfather and the house attendant on Sir Dominic's come back, you see.
In one night,
one boiled night twice, apparently,
Sir Dominic, he'd come back.
There came a weapon on the window,
an old corner hand on the bottom of a bandfather.
Was sitting by the fire.
While when he sit in the house.
Who knocked there?
Oh, cars!
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Backstab!
Come back, come back, come back, come back, come back, come back!
Oh, will you have air?
And you must need food!
I never mind on that, Connor.
Sit down. Sit here.
Sit opposite me.
Oh, I want to talk with you.
And don't be afraid to say what you think.
And why should I be afraid, Master Dominic?
He said, was always a good master to me,
and so is your father, lest he saw him before you.
Let's see the truth and doubted him,
and more than that for any such field of the Northern.
But this yourself, I'm good right now.
It's all over with me, Connor.
You're not that big.
It is past praying for him.
The last guinea's gone.
The old place will follow it.
It must be so old.
And I'm coming here.
I don't know why.
So the last look around me.
Like a lost ghost.
I go off into the dark again.
It was the gambling and the drinking
and the womanizing.
But enough of that.
Listen to me.
If you should hear of my death.
Be sure to give me.
Here, oak box.
Yes, the last box.
In the closet.
Conned to my cousin, Pat Seissfield in Dublin.
And the sword.
And the pistols.
My grandfather died at Achrim and
and two or three more trifling things of the kind.
Conned.
Conned, they say if the devil gives you money overnight.
You find nothing but a bag full of pebbles,
chips, nuts in the morning.
If I thought he played fair.
I'm in the human to make a bargain with him tonight.
Lord, for me.
They say the country is full of men and listing soldiers
for the king of France.
If I like on one of them, I'll not refuse his offer.
Contrary things go on.
As long as it's since Captain Waller and me
fought the duel at Newcastle.
Six year master.
And you broke his toy with the bullet of the first shot.
I did, Conned.
I did.
And I wish instead it shot me through the heart.
Have you any whiskey?
God.
Are you sure?
Sure.
Here.
You always need to sit out here and sit down.
Look at that.
Oh, guys, and.
Have a look at my horse.
Sure.
I won't be a minute running out to the stear.
But I'll see you in the horse.
I'll see you in the horse.
I'll see you in the horse.
Good.
Well, guys, and.
Have a look at my horse.
Sure.
I won't be a minute running out to the stear.
But I'll see you in the horse.
Be a minute.
I'm not going to the stable.
I may as well tell you for.
You find it out anyway.
I'm going to trust the deer park.
If I come back,
you'll see me in an hour's time.
Anyway, you better not follow me.
For if you do, I'll shoot you.
There'll be a poor ending to our friendship.
And with that, he walks out into our forever,
leaving me grandfather with a heavy heart.
He went down to Osmoorowwood,
and I guess he made off his mind,
but if no better came to himself between us and there,
he'd hang himself from one of the oak branches with his crowbats.
And the weather cleared itself away,
and he how the night got finer than it was till cold.
The west geared clear to his head no doubt,
and he was thinking of enlisting.
And to be sure in the French King's army,
when he walked into the woods and sat down.
He knew a fool aware that a man might take his own life any time.
What if it puzzled him to take it back again?
If he spiked the cord,
he was almost fallen asleep.
When he spiked a fine gentleman,
come into me, sir.
I guess he was a handsome man like him, sir,
and wore a cocked hat for the cord later,
out of such as office aware on the court.
He had an address such as French offices,
wearing him tightens.
He came and stopped in front of his sedominic,
and the two gentlemen talk off their hats to one another.
I am recruiting, sir.
For my sovereign,
and you'll find my money won't turn into pebbles,
chips, and nut shells by tomorrow.
And I'm thinking, sir,
that that gentleman pulls out a peak pack of money and cord.
In the minute he sets eyes upon him,
Sir Dominic must have felt
the very hair stand up straight on his end.
I feel like a new man.
It's a lovely day to day.
I saw him have a fool.
I took a grandpas headache, sir,
and I am world's better.
When colds and flu are about,
grandpas headache are what you need.
or what you need. Granpa headache powder is worked fast because it is all almost immediately.
Granpa makes all their fruitful flu symptoms disappear quickly. So whenever you're in pain,
get fast relief, get Granpa headache powder. Ah, Granpa!
Just soak, just soak in biotech stains, grass stains, color and cup stains, ingrained dirt,
soil and grime. Out they come and you don't stir a finger.
Just soak, just soak in biotechs. Biotechs with natural enzymes is the pre-wash powder
with the most enzymes to give you extra pre-wash power. Absolutely no rubbing,
no color loss, no fabric wear. Soaking in biotechs removes the stains and dirt that washing
won't. Just soak, just soak in biotechs.
That'd be a pain. The money won't burn you. If it proves honest gold and if it prospers with you,
I'm willing to make a bargain. This is the last day of February.
I'll serve you seven years and at the end of that time you'll serve me and I'll come for you
when the seven years are over. When the clock turns the minute between February and March
and the first of March you'll come away with me or never.
You'll not find me a bad master. I love my own and I command all the pleasures and glory of the world.
And if you'd rather wait for eight months and twenty-eight days before you sign the writing,
you may, if you meet me here. But I can't do a great deal for you in the meantime.
If you don't sign them, all you get from me up to that time will vanish away.
And you'll be just as you are tonight and ready to hang yourself on the first tree you meet.
I don't know what it is. It's the heaviest load I've ever carried. Open it, come. Open it.
And sure, how many counted every kidney in the bay?
And it took him until daylight and he made economy grandfather swear to tell no liven soul about his
all. And Sir Dominic went about spending the gold in the bag and the eight months went rapidly
away in the appointed day to close and his debts began to pile up all around him. And by the time
the night of the twenty-eight come round, he was almost ready to lose his senses with all the
demands of his horizon up against him and nothing to meet him. But the help of one cred for
he had to depend on at night in the orchards down there below.
You found the money good, but it was not enough. No matter. You shall have enough and to spare.
I'll see after your luck and I'll give you a hint whenever it can serve you.
Anytime you want to see me, you only have to come down here and call my face to mind at wish me present.
You shan't owe a shilling by the end of the year and you shall never miss the right card,
the best throw or the winning horse. Are you willing?
I'm willing.
Take this needle. I require three drops of blood from your arm. I shall catch each drop in this
acorn cup. Break your arm. Now, take this pen right again, what is written there on this
apartment? The bargain is sealed and can never be broken.
And he took off his old ways again and everything was fine. But there was not a poor man on the
estate that was not happier than Sir Dominic. For the years, Pastor, Tonar and was a lawyer again,
music, happy one singing, all were happy except the master. The morning never run out just as the
queer ones Sir Dominic make by the oak sword would not. The years passed and the seventh approach
fast and Sir Dominic grew more and more out of humor. Took to go in for solitary rides sometimes at night.
Finally, he lost hard heart together and sent for the grace. No more to tell father. That's how it is
with me. That's how it's been for six and more years. I've only ten months to run now.
What can I do father? Is there an order? I know you've had no idea. No idea. But what father?
My soul's lost. No. No, I will tell you what you do. I'll tell you. Ten months yourself.
Ten months to run. You must give over dozing and you must give over swearing and drinking and
all bad company. You must live a virtuous life, a steady, blameless life until the seven years
bargain is out. You must live as if in retreat. Oh Dominic, Dominic, for money, for good luck and
trust. You're so man. I'd never be born. Never say that.
The morn swents quickly. Hence Sir Dominic lived a blameless life. Not a curse passed his lips,
not a dice to his roar, not a royal dance to lead. Never looked at a loose woman.
And you may get she felt queer enough when the morn another twenty-eighths of February came.
The priest came again by appointment and for hours they pray together till the clock struck twelve.
Sir Dominic and his reverence were together in the room you see and kept up their prayers to the
clock struck twelve and an end of February for that year.
And he has not returned to me. I put the deliverance from the money, but...
This is the east father. He's out. He's out for the...
So now, if it's that many times, he may just really have a pleasant evening, after all
he's faster than premium, and he sends round a half a dozen of his neighbouring gentlemen
to common time with him.
And there was no end to the void, and soon the cards came out, and the guillies began
to change hands, and his reverence who stayed, crept away, when he saw the way that noise
was going.
In the park he became drunk and short and often lasted until the next morning, where the
pardoned gentlemen took breakfast and slept out of the day, only to begin again the next
evening.
All right, I'm a clever game now, I'm a clever game now.
I never had it.
Gentlemen!
Gentlemen!
Gentlemen!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
Gentlemen!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
What is it then?
It is the twenty-night February.
Lepiere?
What?
What?
No!
God be!
They have not...
Master, is the gentlemen downstairs a queer gentleman if I see what-?
Oh?
Master, is a gentleman downstairs a queer gentleman if ever I see one tell your masters as he in as awful a voice as I ever did here
Tell your master that I'm here by appointment and expect him downstairs by appointment
I can't come down yet
Well, any of you jump from the window bring the priest here
He says unless you come down right away he'll come up to you
I don't understand this
I'll see what it means
And the arm noble went with the fish
As if he was to meet the handman down stairs to meet what
And when he reaches the bottom he's gentleman is there to meet him
And directly that one sees him he catches her Dominic up in his arms
And carries him out the great door
And the queer one carries her Dominic outside and wears him round hoi with a strength of a beast
And crashes his head upon the wall
And
Sheer Dominic was a corpse
There was not a gasp left in him
Pat Donovan was coming up to the house early the next morning
And after he passed a little book
His job that was by his side makes a sudden wheel and runs out and by that wall there
And that minute two men passed Donovan in complete silence
One of them looked like Sir Dominic and the other
Savius was like nothing on earth
They made no sound with their feet and only the dog howl fit to wake the dead
And later
Donovan found the master's body lying there by the wall and that spot
The head smashed
And the body pulled in a step
It's late
I must get back to the village now and I know it'll be live in two
But not two old men
We can't bless you
