Listening to an audio CD that came with my book Séanna. I heard what I believe to be "Is Liomsa Aimsir Fós, arsa an Fear Dubh" repeated several times. Is this "Is Liomsa Aimsir Fós" an idiomatic expression or am I just not hearing it correctly?

Go raibh mile maith agaibh.

Le meas,

James

What does the book say?

Aimsir doesn't seem to fit.

I can't find the phrase in my copy.

Could it be "Is liomsa d'aimsir fós?" Your service is still mine?
