"`There again you're all in a mistake, Father McGrath, rejoins she. `The childer are all his own, and all girls to boot. It appears that it's just as well that you come down, now and then, for information, to our town of Ballycleuch.
They could live economically there and keep their boys and girls at inexpensive schools and colleges. They were not blamed much, even by their employees. "Rathmell is starting wife and childer, bag and baggage for Geneva today," said one of them to another, and the answer was, "Happen we would do the same thing if we could. He hes a big family.
I'd be thankful if I was free to do that; it's for to keep th' widow and childer of a man who was drove mad by them knobsticks o' yourn; put out of his place by a Paddy that did na know weft fro' warp. 'Well! you'd better turn to something else, if you've any such good intention in your head. I shouldn't advise you to stay in Milton: you're too well known here.
I'll have none of this chargin' me to thievery out of the mouth of one of my childer I'll have none of it!" "Maybe you've got a better name for it you and old man Reid!" Joan scorned, her face still white with the cold, deep anger of her wrong. "I'll tame you, or I'll break your heart!" said Tim, doubly angry because the charge she made struck deep.
He laughed at the thought of childer, with Minnie and my Rupert for their parents; and from that time he warmed up and showed his true nature, and we was tokened three days later, so as I was able to tell Mr. Sweet about it, when he'd thought over his mistake and crept on to the warpath again.
Every time Her Gracious Majesty gets a new grandchild or great-grandchild, Canon, he cooms an' says, 'Margaret, have you any more chickens as wants names? An' soomtimes the one christening 'ull do for a whole brood; they royal childer has sich a mony names, ye know."
I did na' think he'd got it in him to lie still and let th' water creep o'er him till he died. Boucher, yo' know. 'Yes, I know now, said Mr. Hale. 'Go back to what you were saying: you'd not speak in haste 'For his sake. Yet not for his sake; for where'er he is, and whate'er, he'll ne'er know other clemming or cold again; but for the wife's sake, and the bits o' childer.
I've seen many a drunkard with two faces t'one as makes the wife and childer glad, and t'other as makes their hearts ache and jump into their mouths with fear. But you've ne'er seen that in a gradely abstainer." "You're a self-righteous old sinner," said another. "I'm a sinner, I know," was Old Crow's reply; "but I'm not self- righteous, I hope.
An' what you've been sayin' about Timothy don't make it a 'aporth the better not for yo'! Yo' led 'im into it too if it 'adn't been for yo', 'ee'd never ha' seen the cursed stuff. Yo've dragged 'im down worse nor 'ee were an' yerself an' the childer an' me. An' the drink, an' the lyin'! it turns a man's stomach to think on it. An' I've been livin' with yer these twelve years.
There were plenty of people who would have taken her off the captain's hands, but nothing would induce the faithful creature to leave the motherless "childer." She loved them both and if they were to go through danger she would go with them. All the same she stood sturdily out in her resentment toward the captain and would not answer now. Jim, too, on the driver's seat, was gloomily silent.
