What's wrong? You are terribly out of breath. I am Father, said jack and I have run a long way to ask you what would I do with money and then he paused for breath.
Sit down Jack and he poured him out a glass of whiskey and Jack drank it.
Now said the priest, tell me and Jack began again. What would I do with money I'd get lost. Father.
Then Jack paused again and the priest gave him another glass of whiskey. Drink that Jack, he said, and it will give you breath. Jack drank it. Tell me Jack where you got it lost. But father, I got no money yet but I wanted to know what would I do with it if I ever happened to get it. Oh you scoundrel, said the priest, where's my whip. jack dashed out of the parlour and was soon out of sight.
Jack fooled the priest, got two glasses of whiskey and £1 from his neighbour.
