nárbh fhada an mhoill a bhí orthu .... that it was not a long delay on them i.e. it did not take them long;
drochfhear a dhéanamh den té a bhí fónta ar maidin - - to make a bad man of him who was good in the morning;
ní raibh aon locht ar maidin air ... he had no fault that morning but the day which was not suitable for him to come, bringing something to them, they thought.
