Some Mistakes of Moses
In Chapter 1, 9 of Mistress Pat, the feud between Judy and Tillytuck continues:
“Tillytuck says he’s going to get a radio,” said Cuddles, who was not in school, as it was Saturday.
“Oh, oh, a radio, is it? I’m relaved to hear it. Mebbe if he gets one he won’t be rading such trash as this.” Judy indignantly held up a book she had discovered on Tillytuck’s table. “Do ye be seeing it . . . The Mistakes av Moses. It do be a rank infidel book he borryed off ould Roger Madison av Silverbridge and whin I rated him for rading it he sez, ‘I like to see both sides av a question,’ sez he. Him and his curiosity!”
