Brigid Beg turned to Caitilin-"Your father came to see our father, and he said that he didn't know what had become of you at all, and that maybe you were lying flat in a ditch with the black crows picking at your flesh." "And what," said Pan, "did your father say to that?" "He told us to come and ask her to go home." "Do you love your father, little child?" said Pan.
The ground beneath the thorn bush became the hearthstone of their cottage; he and Brigid became four policemen, and in a moment he was digging furiously with a broad piece of wood to find the two hidden bodies. He had digged for only a few minutes when the piece of wood struck against something hard.
"Oh poetry," he said contemptuously; "a lot of high falutin' nonsense and by a nigger too! What's that someone said? 'Intoxicated with the exuberance of his own verbosity. That's a good description of a poet." Another time she spoke of St. Brigid, the Bride of Christ. "Who's she?" he asked contemptuously. "The Irish saint."
"Well, Seumaseen and Breedeen, you are good little children, and I like you very much. Health be with you until I come to see you again." And then the Leprecaun went back the way he had come. As he went he made little jumps and cracked his fingers, and sometimes he rubbed one leg against the other. "That's a nice Leprecaun," said Seumas. "I like him too," said Brigid.
Brigid relates in her revelations how she at one time was downcast because the enemies of Christ were so powerful, and how she was consoled by the mother of God herself, who told her to remember the rose among the thorns. "The rose," so said Mary, "gives a fragrant odor; it is beautiful to the sight, and tender to the touch, and yet it grows among thorns, inimical to beauty and tenderness.
He gave the needles and wool to Brigid Beg. "Do you know how to turn the heel, Brigid Beg?" said he. "No, sir," said Brigid. "Well, I'll show you how when you come to it." The other six Leprecauns had ceased work and were looking at the children. Seumas turned to them. "God bless the work," said he politely.
I am an old man now, and you you dear good old soul must have gone to your reward long ago, where you in your turn will be hearing from St. Brigid herself, and from the fine old Irish king who gave the Curragh, the true story of the miraculous mantle; and how the king did not make such a bad bargain after all, for, in exchange for his gift, he now, doubtless, has what St.
Gervase, and I got the pardons at the first box only, for in those matters very little contenteth me. Then did I say my small suffrages and the prayers of St. Brigid; but he gained them all at the boxes, and always gave money to everyone of the pardoners. From thence we went to Our Lady's Church, to St. John's, to St.
The children had slid down so unexpectedly that they almost forgot their good manners, but as soon as Seumas Beg discovered that he was really in a room he removed his cap and stood up. "God be with all here," said he. The Leprecaun who had brought them lifted Brigid from the floor to which amazement still constrained her.
She never addressed her discourse to both of them at once, but spoke first to Seumas on one subject and then to Brigid on another subject; for, as she said, the things which a boy must learn are not those which are necessary to a girl.
