I was just passing the time of day with Old Troy of the D.M.P. at the corner of Arbour hill there and be damned but a bloody sweep came along and he near drove his gear into my eye. I turned around to let him have the weight of my tongue when who should I see dodging along Stony Batter only Joe Hynes. -Lo, Joe, says I. How are you blowing? Did you see that bloody chimneysweep near shove my eye out with his brush? -Soot's luck, says Joe. Who's the old ballocks you were talking to? -Old Troy, says I, was in the force. I'm on two minds not to give that fellow in charge for obstructing the thoroughfare with his brooms and ladders.2
