It's a hard thing they'll be saying below if the body is washed
up and there's no man in it to make the coffin, and I after
giving a big price for the finest white boards you'd find in
Connemara.

[She looks round at the boards.]

BARTLEY
How would it be washed up, and we after looking each day for
nine days, and a strong wind blowing a while back from the west
and south?

MAURYA
If it wasn't found itself, that wind is raising the sea, and
there was a star up against the moon, and it rising in the
night. If it was a hundred horses, or a thousand horses
you had itself, what is the price of a thousand horses against
a son where there is one son only?

BARTLEY
[Working at the halter, to Cathleen.]

Let you go down each day, and see the sheep aren't jumping in
on the rye, and if the jobber comes you can sell the pig with
the black feet if there is a good price going.

MAURYA
How would the like of her get a good price for a pig?
