"Au revoir, Sister! Au revoir, madame! I thank you for all your kindness." "You must come back again next year, my child." "Oh, I sha'n't fail, Sister; it's my duty." "And be good, my dear child, and take care of your health, so that the Blessed Virgin may be proud of you." "To be sure, madame, she was so good to me, and it amuses me so much to go to see her."
He does nothing to obtain them, it almost seems as if he did not want any. He is not coarse, noisy and foul-mouthed, like the rascal Groult who amuses the whole ward. He is only dull and reserved. He does not often say "Thank you" when he is offered something, and many touchy people take offence at this. When I sit down by his bed, he gives no sign of any pleasure at my visit.
'You may do that if it amuses you, Mathew Kearney; but, meanwhile, I'll just do what I've always done in the same place I'll just go look for my own beast and see her saddled myself; and as Peter Gill is leaving you to-morrow, I'll take him back with me to-night.

"Do not hesitate to let her attend on you," he said. "Whatever interests or amuses her, lengthens her life. In her life is the breath of mine. She is more than my daughter; she is the guardian-angel of the house. Go where she may, she carries the air of heaven with her. When you say your prayers, sir, pray God to leave my daughter here a little longer."

A goatherd amuses himself by making combinations with heaps of little pebbles. He becomes an astoundingly quick and accurate reckoner without other aid than a moment's reflection.
