Sample text:

As they reached the well-tended wood sidewalks that lined the rows of shops, a man in black strode up behind them, "Good morning! You must be Mr. and Mrs. O'Malley!"

Frightened, they stopped and stared at the man, then felt a sigh of relief as they noticed his clothing. Darcy smiled, "Father! What a relief to see another Catholic face. We dinna think there were any from the old country in this land!"

Father Fitzpatrick extended his hand to Darcy, "Oh yes…many more from the old country arrivin' everyday! By the Blessed Virgin, our people are a comin' safe and sound to this beautiful fertile land. I hear there's even a new town a formin' made up of good families from across the Blessed Isle. Maybe out East and out West they a not wantin' us any more than the English…but here, in the Niobrara Valley, the luck o we Irish prevails!"
