Fardorougha once more became calm, but still there was on his countenance, which was mournful and full of something else than simple sorrow, some deeply fixed determination, such as it was difficult to develop. "Connor, achora," said he, "I must lave you, for there's little time to be lost. What attorney would you wish me to employ? I'll go home and sell oats and a cow or two.
"I left one," she replied, "on the back of your chair an' there it is, sure." "Ay, achora, it's you that laves nothing undone that ought to be done; an' so it is here, sure enough." "Why, then, Gerald," asked Tom M'Mahon, "in the name o' wonder what makes you stick to the meal instead o' the soap when you're washin' yourself?"
"Yes, we know that, achora," replied the cook, sweetly. "Well, you can't forget Bet Harramount, the witch, that lived for some time in Rathfillan? She that was hunted in the shape of a white hare by pious Father McFeen's famous greyhound, Koolawn." "Doesn't all the world know it, Barney, avillish?" said Nanse.
"It does, achora machree," replied her father, whose eyes expressed a kind of melancholy pride, as he contemplated his beautiful but sorrowful looking girl, giving utterance to truths which added an impressive and elevated character to her beauty.
"It is, Barney, achora," replied Nanse; "but there's something wrong wid you." "I wish to goodness, Nanse, you'd let the boy alone," said the cook; "when he chooses to spake, he'll spake to them that can undherstand him." "O, jaminy stars! that's you, I suppose; ha, ha, ha." "Keep silence," said Barney, "and listen.
Now turn about, like a purty entisin' girl, as you are, an' put your sweet bill to my ear the same way, an' whisper what you know into it? That's a darlin'! Will you, achora?" "An' maybe all this time you're promised to another?" "Be the vestments, I'm not promised to one. Now! Saize the one!" "You'll say that, anyhow!" "Do you see my hands acrass?
Here now, achora, try it, an' take care it's not a trifle too hot it'll comfort you, anyhow." It is in a country like Ireland, where there is so much of that close and wasting poverty which constitutes absolute misery, that these beautiful gushes of pure and tender humanity are to be found, which spring in the obscurity of life out of the natural goodness and untutored piety of the Irish heart.
She put her arms about him, and said, in a soothing and solicitous tone: "Oh, no, it's all thrue; but if you kiss them, you'll disturb and waken them; and then, you know, when they see you taken away in this manner, an' hears what it's for, it may be their death." "Thrue, achora; thrue: well, I will only look at them, then.
"Faith, your mother's son, achora. However, you know the proverb 'A burnt child dreads the fire. You have a neck still, Barney beg pardon, Mr. Norton don't forget that fact." "And I'll take care of the said neck, believe me, Morty; I shall keep it safe, never fear." "Take care you don't keep it a little too safe. A word to the wise is enough, Bar Mr. Norton."
Why shouldn't I? Ay, Mary, asthore, machree, good right you have to cry afther her; she was the kind mother to you; her heart was fixed in you; there's her fatures on your face; her very eyes, an' fair hair, too, an' I'll love you, achora, ten times more nor ever, for her sake.
