Farther on another man in a blue robe sat under a tree, with hisfeet stuck out in front. By the yellow clay pipe he was smoking, andby his hair that was blue enough to keep a man surprised as notharmonious with his robin's-egg blue robe, the same was Irish.

He whomoped joyful to look at me, and exclaimed I'd find Sadler over "beyontthe boss pagody."

"Tommy boy," he says anxious, "ye won't be shtirrin' oop the Kid. Heain't been into anything rampageous, nor the women, nor the drink,nor clawin' to do nothin', since we coom, and me gettin' fat with thepacefulness of it. Lave him aisy for the love of God!"

A woman stood in front of him, talking rapid. Threechildren were playing on the grass. You could look over the wall, andsee the shuffling crowd in the streets, and those going up and downthe stairway to the Shway Dagohn. The yellow robe was smoking a pipe.Moreover he was Sadler.
