Somebody from among them shouted "Come over here me ould buck skin and have a step o' a dance I have anice little "girshia" (girl) that will put you through your part in the real ould Irish style." I took my place on the floor like a good one, and got into a dance which I enjoyed for a while but I was long tired dancing before it was over but they would not let me go until we all would have some supper. When supper was over I said I would be making my journey shorter, but I had to promise to be over on the following evening, so the little prince said that he would not let me walk home after my night's dancing.
