`` Come in , come in , Collins , come in to your own house , '' the first assistant called . `` Come in , man , and be at home . I could n't sleep , so I had to get up and wait around , hungry enough ; but , '' he had caught the expression on his friend 's face , `` what is the matter ? '' `` Oh , nothing much , nothing much , '' replied Father Collins , `` only I see the whole parish is turning out to-day for the eight o'clock Mass. . The O'Briens and Doctor Reilly have just gone in . You know , they always go to High Mass. '' `` Which , '' remarked Father Grady , `` is no compliment either to my singing , or your Eminence 's preaching , or to both . '' `` Oh , your singing is all right , '' assured Father Collins .
