The Jackdaw TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text Nally: Oh, oh, oh, look now, Mr. Nestor, the way you have made me a thief and to be lodged in the gaol!<br><br>Nestor: I wish to God you were lodged in it, and we would have less annoyance in this place!<br><br>Nally: Oh, that is a terrible thing for you to be saying! Sure the poorhouse itself is better than the gaol! The nuns preparing you for heaven and the Mass every morning of your life....<br><br>Nestor: If you go on with your talk and your arguments it's to gaol you will surely go.<br><br>Nally: Milk of a Wednesday and a Friday, the potatoes steamed very good.... It's the skins of the potatoes they were telling me you do have to be eating in the gaol. It is what I am thinking, Mr. Nestor, that bird will lie heavy on you at the last!<br><br>Nestor: (Seizing cage and letting the bird out of the door.) Bad cess and a bad end to it, and that I may never see it or hear of it again!<br><br>Mrs. Broderick: Look what he is after doing! Get it back for me! Give it here into my hands I say! Why wouldn't I sell it secondly to the buyer and he to be coming to the door? It is in my own pocket I will keep the price of it that time!<br><br>Nally: It would have been as good you to have left it with me as to be sending itself and the worth of it up into the skies!<br><br>Mrs. Broderick: (Taking Nestor's arm.) Get it back for me I tell you! There it is above in the ash tree, and it flapping its wings on a bough!
