"Oh, I know all that stupid history," cried Kitty in a low voice. "Don't bother me, Annie, asthore. I can't be teased. I have got something in the back of my head." "Something in the back of your head?" whispered Annie. "Yes, yes; but hush, alanna! I can't let it out; it's bothering me entirely. There, if I must look at the stupid history, I must. What part are we doing, Mary Davies?"
"Now," proceeded the dying woman, "come to me, you Kathleen, my daughter sure you're the daughter of my heart, as it is. Kneel down and stay with me awhile. Why does my heart warm to you as it never did to any one out o' my own family? Why do I love you as if you were my own child? Because I hope you will be so. Kiss me, asthore machree." Kathleen kissed her, and for a few moments Mrs.

He was about to taste it, but on looking into the little tin porringer that contained it, he put it away from him, and shuddered strongly. "It's mixed with the blood," said he, "and I can't;" and again he put it away from him. "Bryan, asthore," said his mother, "it's not blood; sure it's wine that Mr. Harman, the blessin' of God be upon him, brought to you."
They have got the wild bird Nora into the English cage; and, darling dad asthore, it's her heart that will be broke if she stays here long. There's one comfort I have or, bedad! I don't think I could bear it and that's Molly. She's a bit of a romp and a bit of a scamp, and she has a daring spirit of her own, and she hates the conventionalities, and she would like to be Irish too.
I know it won't be long I'll be wid her soon. Asthore machree, we'll' be together, I hope, afore long an', oh! if it was the will o' God, I would be glad if it was afore night!"

Masther Bob, asthore, ye're all the counthry I have now, an' all the frinds; an' I'll hold by ye, if it be plasing, as long as I've strength to strike a spade. Tears actually stood in the faithful fellow's eyes.
The boy, whose noble fortitude was unshaken during the formidable trial it had encountered in the course of that day, now felt overcome by this simple allusion to his mother's love. He threw his arms about his father's neck, and, placing his head upon his bosom, wept aloud for many, many minutes. "Hiisth, Connor, husth, asthore what makes you cry?
In order to keep their secret quite to themselves, Nora and Annie decided to keep the door of the library locked while they were at work. This arrangement was delightful to Nora, but it irritated Molly not a little. When she came to see her sister, to be greeted by a locked door and to hear Annie's clear voice singing out from within, "Oh, we're so busy, you darling of a Molly asthore.
Andy would not really injure me, not in cold blood." "Oh, wouldn't he just? The man's heart is hot within him; it's the thought of the roof being taken off his cabin. I have come as his messenger. You had best send some sort of message to keep him on the quiet for a bit. Don't you send a hard message of that sort, heart asthore; you'll do a sight of mischief if you do."
