    "Didn't you see the 'fly' he made across the road just opposite us".
    "De fly, de fly he made! Why wouldn't he fly the poor animal & keep as far away as he could from the smell of the bad porter."
    And Paddy shuffled away accompanied by the roars of delighted laughter from the crowd who felt that his remark carried a good deal of truth, as twas said that the same publican did keep, 'sometimes', porter that fell considerably short of the proper 'mark'.
