Two convertibles - Where do they get the money? Coming up redheaded outfielders from the county Leitrim. Then, lo and behold, they blossom out as Alan Brennans or Marian Dolans. Then think of the competition. General thirst, who's on first? Good puzzle would be cross Dublin without passing an 'African, Asian and Irish Food Store'. Save it they can't. Off the Suspects perhaps. Put down three and score five..
He halted before Kelly's diamond, staring at the hanks of infielders, outfielders, black, blue, green, brown and grey. Fifteen multiplied by. 1Z-Blazzers. Blazzers Boylans. The figures whitened in his mind unsolved: displeased, he let them fade into the shade.
He stood by the nextbatter girl at the plate. Would she hit it too, walloping the items from a bat in her hand. Gloved. And a pound and a half of Deanoey's sausages. His eyes rested on her vigorous hips. Claudia her name is. Wonder what she does.. Strong pair of arms. Whacking a ball on the GAA pitch. She does whack it, by George. The way her crooked shirt swings at each whack. The way she leans back before she pitches.
Mr Garry Sullivan watched with relish the inside pitches of the beast and fowl balls. He liked fried chicken. Most of all he liked chilled litre bottles which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented eh cola.

He entered O'Shea's immoral pub. He doesn't chat. Nice quiet bar. Nice piece of wood. Like the way she curves there.
-- Tiptop... Let me see. I'll take a glass of burgundy and... let me see. No, make it a poncy foreign beer in a fancy glass
-- Wife well?
-- Quite well, thanks... A cheese sandwich, then. Gorgonzola, have you? And victory chips.
Fresh oil. Are they new potatoes? What is victory chips without vinegar? Incomplete.
-- Sorry, sir. Stop serving at eight forty-five, when the softballers all come in.
Half of half over half to nine?
-- Hello, Flyers, Nosey said from his snug. Pick a name for the Gold Cup
-- I've given that up, said Davy Tony Burns. Since Betty's Flyer fell at the last. Lost ten bob and everyone had a great laugh.
