Excerpt from The Left-Side Man
Cahal Desmond, of course, was the answer; he's the biggest scamp this side 0' Limbo. Be cripes. He's run over Bess Humphrey; the divil's own blood is in that bucko. Instead of replying, Mrs. Casey ran to the town pump, where everybody else was running, and where poor old Bess Humphrey the piemaker was lying, a stunned and sorry looking figure. The fugitive in the gig had pulled up his horse, and quite unmindful of the police at his back, was lifting the old woman from the pavement.
