THE IMPORTANT PART
An American visitor was very much interested in Jarvey's historical*facts, which seemed to be related without the least hesitation.
When he had listened for a time to a mass of dates, names and incidents, the visitor enquired: "How do you remember all this so clearly?"
Jarvey: "Ach, shure 'tis aisy enuff, yer harner, 'tis the tellin ov thim bothers me a thrifle now an' agen."
Visitor: "How so?"
Jarvey: "Bekaise, if Oi tell the same thing twiste, yez moight think Oi wus makin id; an' if Oi tell id too slow, yez moight think Oi wus doin' thet same, so yez see 'tis nawt the moindin ov id at all Oi'm thinkin ov." ■
