抄录一段姥姥让他给房客送饭的描述,Frank 爱尔兰式的幽默浸透了每一句:
“There's a lovely smell from the dinner can, boiled bacon and cabbage and two big floury white potatoes.
Surely he won't notice if I try half a potato. He won't complain to Grandma because he hardly ever talks outside
of a snuffle or two.
It's better if I eat the other half potato so that he won't be asking why he got a half.
I might as well try the bacon and cabbage too and if I eat the other potato he'll surely think she didn't send one at all.
The second potato melts in my mouth and I'll have to try another bit of cabbage, another morsel of bacon.
There isn't much left now and he'll be very suspicious so I might as well finish off the rest.
What am I going to do now? Grandma will destroy me, Mam will keep me in for a year.
Bill Galvin will bury me in lime. I will tell him I was attacked by a dog on the Dock Road and he ate the whole dinner and I'm lucky I escaped without being eaten myself.
Oh, is that so? says Bill Galvin. And what's that bit of cabbage hanging on your gansey?
Did the dog lick you wit his cabbagey gob? Go home and tell your Grandma you ate me whole dinner and I'm falling down with the hunger here in this lime kiln.”.......
