Come now, I'll have no put offs you must come, I say I ordher you I can't and won't meet her wid out you. Come, avick, an' you can sing mi the song goin' home come wid your owi poor ould father, that can't live widout you come, a sullish machree, I don't feel right here we won't be properly happy till we go to your lovin' mother." "Father, father, you don't know what you're making me suffer!
"Well, my dear listen to me," continued the priest "can you not make the best confession possible? Could you calm yourself for it?" "Pether, avick machree Pether," "Ellish, avourneen, I'm here! my darlin', I am your vick machree, an' ever was. Oh, Father! my heart's brakin'! I can't bear to part wid her. Father of heaven, pity us this day of throuble?"
Now ate somethin' you must want it by this; an' thin, when you rest yourself bravely, take a tass into a good feather-bed, where you can sleep rings round you. God grant that, any way, avick!"
But the ways I'd loved and walked, avick, Were no more home to me, Wid their sthreets and turns av starin' brick, And no ould face to see! And the ould glad ways I'd helt in mind, Loike the home av Moira Bawn, And the ould green turns I'd dreamt to find, They all were lost and gone!
"The Lord be merciful to us!" she resumed, when he had described the military procession, "It's often I seen the regiment marchin' into the town, jist as you saw it last night, acushla. Oh, voch, but it makes my heart sore to think iv them days; they were pleasant times, sure enough; but is not it terrible, avick, to think it's what it was the ghost of the rigiment you seen?
"Connor," she added, after a pause, during which he and Una, though silent from respect to her, were both deeply affected; "sit fornint me, avick machree, that, for the short time you're to be with me, I may have you before my eyes. Husth now, a colleen machree, an' remimber your promise. Where's the stringth you said you'd show?"
"Indeed I'm obliged to you," said I; "I protest I'm obliged to you, for your good opinion of me." "It's nothin' but what ye desarve, avick! an' more nor that yer the makin's of a clargy I'm guessin'?" "I am," said I, "surely designed for that." "I declare I feel much the same towards you," I returned, for the fellow in spite of me was gaining upon my good opinion; "you are a decent, civil soul."
Something in the last sentence must have touched a chord in Una's heart, for the tears, without showing any other' external signs of emotion, streamed down her cheeks. "My advice, then, to you an' oh, avick machree, machree, it is my last, the last you will ever hear from my lips " "Oh, mother, mother!" exclaimed Connor, but he could not proceed voice waa denied him, Una here sobbed aloud.
He could not bring himself to acknowledge it, however. Sullenly he set down the apples and peanuts, murmuring, "I never did it before, anyhow!" "No, nor never will again, I'm sure, avick! This'll be a lifelong lesson to ye," returned the old woman, with agitation, as she put the dimes back into his hand. "Go right home with them now, an' tell yer father all about it."
Go 'way, avick, and rehearse it, an' whin your mother finishes him, and Dick, and little Mary, she'll have yourself as clane as a new sixpence."
