Duinnín agus an Bhadhbh (tuilleadh)

• Bhí tost sa seomra. Bhain an Duinníneach taitneamh, soicind,
  as éifeacht a scéil ar an gcomhluadar. An soicind ina
  dhiaidh sin, chúb sé roimh an mbéic a lig Woodley as.

  ‘Mo chuid sionnacht [var pl?]! Iad á ngoid ag mo thionóntaithe féin!’

  ‘Ach ni bhíonn tú ag seilg sionnach, a thaisce, agus tá’s agat
  go n-itheann siad na piasúin . . .’arsa a chéile.

  There was silence in the room. Dineen enjoyed, for a second, the effect of his story
  on the company. The second after that he cowered before the shout Woodley let out

  ‘My foxes! My own tenants are stealing them!’

  ‘But you don’t hunt foxes, my dear, and you know they eat the pheasants . . .’ said his wife.
