In vain the daughter protested that she really had finished her cake before the priest came a-begging, in vain she promised to give the mother half her share on the morrow, in vain she pleaded for forgiveness for the sake of the Sun, in whose honour she had given alms.
"Not half equal to her other Joe, Mr. Owen that is," said Fanny. "Well, I don't know that, my dear. Such a house and property as Castle Richmond is not likely to go a-begging among the young women. And then Mr. Herbert is not so rampageous like as him of Hap house, by all accounts." But Father Barney still kept to his subject. "And they are both at your place at the present moment, eh, Fanny?"
Gad, sir! in twenty years you might cover half the county; but say you stop short at 2,000 acres, why the net profit is L90,000 a-year. A duke's income, a duke's; and going a-begging, as I may say." "But stop," said I, modestly; "the trees don't grow in a year.
More money than would have done this was expended, or rather thrown away, upon them here, to keep them in suspense, and afterwards starve them; sending them a-begging all over the nation, and shipping them off to perish in other countries. Where the mistake lay is none of my business to inquire.
His voice had gone a-begging before he took it up, and applied it to the same trade; it was too strong to hawk mackerel, but was just soft enough for "Robin Adair." His business is to make popular songs unpopular, he gives the air, like a weather-cock, with many variations.
"Don't think they've got much of the Jew about them," said Featherstone, languidly. "They hate riches and all that, you know. Break a Jew's heart to hear of all that property wasted, and money going a-begging. Not a bad idea, though, that of theirs about money. Too much money's a howwid baw, by Jove!"
One or two crops will pretty nearly extinguish the mortgage and three or four more will put the owner on "Easy Street." In the bottom-lands of the Sacramento River is an island that for fifty years went a-begging. Then a company with a shrewd head bought it, diked it, and drained it. Now the island has immense celery beds and the largest asparagus farm in the world.
"No wife or child to see me off, Mistress Winslow," said the captain as he passed the door where Susanna lingered, and she, smiling with the tear in her eye, answered pleasantly, "Then why not purvey thee one, Captain Standish? Well I wot you need not long go a-begging."
The Jogi by this time felt sure that a Bonga was trying to frighten him, so becoming angry he cut down the bamboo at the root, and taking it away made a fiddle out of it. The instrument had a superior tone and delighted all who heard it. The Jogi carried it with him when he went a-begging, and through the influence of its sweet music he returned home every evening with a full wallet.
The proprietor of the land was to be called a "patroon," and was absolute ruler of whatever colonies he might plant, for he was at once owner, ruler, and judge. It may well be supposed that such a tempting offer did not go a-begging, and a number of patroons were soon settled along the Hudson and on the banks of the Delaware , where they founded a town near Lewes.
