Sometimes a stage Irishman seems to be a bad man  such as the "agent" or the "informer"  but in these cases it invariably turns out in the end that this man was all along a Scotchman, and thus what had been a mystery becomes clear and explicable.

appiness and marry her to the villain. The villain, by the way, has never a penny to bless himself with, and cannot even pay his own debts, let alone helping anybody else out of a scrape. But the good old man does not think of this. Our own personal theory, based upon a careful comparison of similarities, is that the good old man is in reality the stage hero grown old. There is something about the good old man's chuckle-headed simplicity, about his helpless imbecility, and his irritating damtom foolishness that is strangely suggestive of the hero. He is just the sort of old man that we should imagine the hero would develop into. We may, of course, be wrong; but that is our idea. THE IRISHMAN. He says "Shure" and "Bedad" and in moments of exultation "Beghorra." That is all the Irish he knows. He is very poor, but scrupulously honest. His great ambition is to pay his rent, and he is devoted to his landlord. He is always cheerful and always good. We never knew a bad Irishman on the stage.
