"Thrue for ye! but this bit o' a steeple ud be a foine risting-place for the lightnin's fut, an' a moighty hot fut it has, too bad 'cess to it!" The man had been interrupted by another vivid flash and a sharp crack of thunder. The mountains to the north and west were now entirely hidden, and the near hills were disappearing rapidly behind the on-coming storm of rain.
"We're a-comin', miss, you gamble on that and the lightnin's a fool to us!" shouted Dollops in reply. "Let her have it, guv'ner! Bust the bloomin' tank. Give her her head; give her her feet; give her her blessed merry-thought if she wants it! Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!" And then, just then, when she most needed her strength and her courage, Ailsa's evaporated.
Cleek, oh, thank God!" she flung back with all the rapture a human voice could contain. "Come on, come on! I've got him got that man Merode, and the boy is safe, the boy is safe! Come on! come on! come on!" "We're a-comin', miss, you gamble on that and the lightnin's a fool to us!" shouted Dollops in reply. "Let her have it, Gov'nor! Bust the bloomin' tank.
It shrivels me up, that's what it does." "The thundher, is it? Sure that's only the bluff the storm puts up when the rale harm is done by the lightnin's flash. There is no harm in the thundher at all. And remember, after all, it's the will of God." Peg thought a moment: "It always sounds just as if He were lookin' down at us and firin' off cannons at us because He's angry with us."
God protect my boy from all harm an' danger, this fearful night! Oh, Fardorougha, what 'ud become of us if anything happened him? As for me my heart's wrapped up in him; wid out our darlin' it 'ud break, break, Fardorougha." "Hut; he's gone to some neighbor's an' can't come out till the storm is over; he'll soon be here now that the thunder an' lightnin's past."
