"And so we can," said the widow; "betther bail than e'er a Lynch or Daly not but what the Dalys is respictable betther bail, any way, than e'er a Lynch in Galway could show, either for sessions or 'sizes, by night or by day, winter or summer." "Ah, mother! you don't understhand: he's maning that we're to be tried in the dock, for staling Anty's money." "Faix, but that'd be a good joke!
"Oh, Barry! What is it you want? Pray let me go pray, pray, for the love of the blessed Jesus, let me go." "I'll tell you where you'll go, and that's into Ballinasloe mad-house! Now, mark me so help me I'll set off with you this night, and have you there in the morning as an idiot as you are, if you won't make the promise I'm telling you!" By this time Anty's presence of mind had clean left her.
Not that the widow was less assiduous, or less attentive to Anty's wants now that she was convalescent; but she certainly had not so much personal satisfaction, as when she was able to speak despondingly of her patient to all her gossips. "Poor cratur!" she used to say "it's all up with her now; the Lord be praised for all his mercies.
She made room on the sofa for him between herself and his mistress, and then contrived that the room should be barely sufficient, so that Anty was rather closely hemmed up in one corner: moreover, she made Anty give her opinion as to Martin's looks after his metropolitan excursion, and tried hard to make Martin pay some compliments to Anty's appearance.
"And does the ould robber mane to say that I . As I live, I niver as much as mentioned Anty's name to Moylan, except jist about the agency!" "I'm shure you didn't, mother." "And what is it then he has to say agin us?" "Jist lies; that's av' he were called on to say anything; but he niver will be. This is all one of Barry's schames to frighten you, and get Anty turned out of the inn."
Anty's apology for being at the inn, was perhaps unnecessary; but, with the feeling so natural to a woman, she was half afraid that Martin would fancy she had run after him, and she therefore thought it as well to tell him that it was only a temporary measure. Poor Anty! At the moment she said so, she trembled at the very idea of putting herself again in her brother's power.
The like of me, my lord, can't do things like you noblemen and gentry. Besides, mother'd never forgive me. They think, down there, that poor Anty's simple like; tho' she's cute enough, av' they knew her. I wouldn't, for all the money, wish it should be said that Martin Kelly ran off with a fool, and robbed her.
"And that's thrue, too, Mrs Kelly," said the other; "but Miss Anty's fortune ain't a bad step to a young man, neither. Why, there won't be a young gintleman within tin no, not within forty miles, more respectable than Martin Kelly; that is, regarding mains." "And you needn't stop there, Ma'am, neither; you may say the very same regarding characther, too and family, too, glory be to the Virgin.
But it's the wrong side with you, Martin!" "Well, John, now, by virtue of your oath, as you chaps say, wouldn't you marry a woman twice her age, av' she'd half the money? Begad you would, and leap at it!" "Perhaps I would. I'd a deal sooner have a woman eighty than forty. There'd be some chance then of having the money after the throuble was over! Anty's neither ould enough nor young enough."
There's lots of them schamers about now, says I. 'That's thrue for you, says he, 'and they're not far to look for, and that was thrue, too, my lord, for he and I were both schaming about poor Anty's money at that moment. 'Well, says he, afther walking on a little, quite quiet, 'av' you war to marry her. 'Oh, I've made up my mind about that, Mr.
