You never saw the like of it in all your born puff . Gob , if he got that lottery ticket on the side of his poll he’d remember the gold cup , he would so , but begob the citizen would have been lagged for assault and battery and Joe for aiding and abetting . The jarvey saved his life by furious driving as sure as God made Moses . What ? O , Jesus , he did . And he let a volley of oaths after him . — Did I kill him , says he , or what ? And he shouting to the bloody dog : — After him , Garry ! After him , boy ! And the last we saw was the bloody car rounding the corner and old sheepsface on it gesticulating and the bloody mongrel after it with his lugs back for all he was bloody well worth to tear him limb from limb . Hundred to five ! Jesus , he took the value of it out of him , I promise you . When , lo , there came about them all a great brightness and they beheld the chariot wherein He stood ascend to heaven . And they beheld Him in the chariot , clothed upon in the glory of the brightness , having raiment as of the sun , fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not look upon Him . And there came a voice out of heaven , calling : Elijah ! Elijah ! And He answered with a main cry : Abba ! Adonai ! And they beheld Him even Him , ben Bloom Elijah , amid clouds of angels ascend to the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe’s in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel . [ 13 ] The summer evening had begun to fold the world in its mysterious embrace . Far away in the west the sun was setting and the last glow of all too fleeting day lingered lovingly on sea and strand , on the proud promontory of dear old Howth guarding as ever the waters of the bay , on the weedgrown rocks along Sandymount shore and , last but not least , on the quiet church whence there streamed forth at times upon the stillness the voice of prayer to her who is in her pure radiance a beacon ever to the stormtossed heart of man , Mary , star of the sea . The three girl friends were seated on the rocks , enjoying the evening scene and the air which was fresh but not too chilly . Many a time and oft were they wont to come there to that favourite nook to have a cosy chat beside the sparkling waves and discuss matters feminine , Cissy Caffrey and Edy Boardman with the baby in the pushcar and Tommy and Jacky Caffrey , two little curlyheaded boys , dressed in sailor suits with caps to match and the name H . M . S . Belleisle printed on both . For Tommy and Jacky Caffrey were twins , scarce four years old and very noisy and spoiled twins sometimes but for all that darling little fellows with bright merry faces and endearing ways about them . They were dabbling in the sand with their spades and buckets , building castles as children do , or playing with their big coloured ball , happy as the day was long .
