"It isn't it isn't," sobbed Nora, her head buried on the Squire's shoulder. "My darling, light of my eyes, colleen asthore, acushla machree!" said the Squire. He lavished fond epithets upon the girl, and finally took her into his arms, and clasped her tight to his breast. Mrs. O'Shanaghgan, after staring at the two in speechless indignation for a moment, left the room.
I could not imagine what the purport of the dialogue was; but I easily saw, that I myself was the subject of it, for I could perceive them glance at me occasionally, as if they felt a degree of hesitation in laying down the matter for my approval; at length she opened it with great adroitness: "Musha, an' to be sure he will, Katty dear an' darlin' and mightn't you know he would the refusin' to do it isn't in his face, as any body that has eyes to see may know you ashamed! and what for would ye be ashamed? asthore, it's 'imself that's not proud, or he wouldn't tramp it, barefooted, along wud two ould crathurs like huz; him that has no sin to answer for but I'll spake to 'im myself, and yell see it's he that won't refuse it.
Sure I was comin' often enough before, but the dinth of the sickness prevented me; an' other times I was chucked about like a child's marvel, pitched over an' hether by the big waves banging the side of the vessel. Masther Robert, asthore, it's I that's shaking in the middle of my iligant new frieze shute like a withered pea in a pod I'm got so thin intirely.
"A heroine, if all she says be thrue, an' as unconscious of it as a new-born babe!" When Maren awoke the sun was straight overhead and some one had been calling from a distance for a very long time. "Come, come, asthore! Opin yer eyes! That's it! A little more, now. Wake up, for love av Heaven, or we'll all be overtaken be th' Injuns!" Ah! Indians!
My happiness is gone, asthore machree life is nothing to me now all's empty; and there's neither joy, nor ease of mind, nor comfort for me any more.
Do you think she'd grudge you a sup of milk?" "It isn't that; for I know she wouldn't, God bless her!" said the apple-woman, heartily. "Still, asthore, take heed of what I say. Never meddle with what's trusted to ye, but carry it safe an' whole to the person it's meant for, or the place ye are told to fetch it to. It's the best plan, dear." "I suppose it is, Missis Barry, generally," agreed Tom.
Oh, Misther Robert asthore, if I ever thought to see the family so reduced; an' sure I was hopin' nobody would know it but ourselves leastways, none of the quality at home. Andy's soliloquy was interrupted by a summons from his master to prepare supper; but the under-current of his thoughts went on as he set about his cooking.
Jemmy!!" exclaimed his brothers and sisters. "Asy, childhre," said the father "asy; let the mother to him let her to him. Who has the right that she has? Vara, asthore Vara, think of yourself. God of heaven! what is comin' over her? Her brain's turned!" "Father, don't remove her," said the son. "Leave her arms where they are: it's long since they encircled my neck before.
She showed a gleam of snowy teeth now, as she looked full at the young girl whom she was addressing. "Ah, then, Miss Nora," she said, "it's I that am sorry for yez." Before Nora O'Shanaghgan could utter a word Hannah had turned on her heel. "Come back, Hannah," said Nora in an imperious voice. "Presently, darlint; it's the childer I hear calling me. Coming, Mike asthore, coming."
Nora sometimes wondered if he also forgot how soon she was going to leave him. His first call when he entered the house had always been "Light o' the Morning, where are you? Come here, asthore; the old dad has returned," or some such expression.
