I'm only too glad to get rid of some of the stock." She cried a little, thought of the children, and kept the groceries. "I suppose I'll be sold up soon meself if things don't git brighter," said that grocer to a friend, "so it doesn't matter much." The same with Foley the butcher, who had a brogue with a sort of drawling groan in it, and was a cynic of the Mitchell school.
The Cathcarts are distantly connected with that family. And, when the girl had protested that this was hardly a suitable moment for a visit to Brockhurst, Charlotte Ormiston had replied, with that hint of a brogue which gave her ready speech its almost rollicking character: "But, my dear child, propriety demands it. I depart myself to-morrow.

Every eye was upon mine, which struck me with a strange sensation of their brightness, and of the fear with which they continued to approach me. I held out my hands empty: whereupon one asked, with a strong Highland brogue, if I surrendered.
The lady's curiosity was more easily excited than that of her husband. She not only came out, but brought with her some ladies who had been on a visit, in order to hear the Irishman's brogue, and to amuse themselves at his expense. Of the pig, too, it appeared she was determined to know something. "George, my love, is the pig also from Ireland?"

I shall never forget an impudent urchin, a cowherd, about twelve years old, without either brogue or bonnet, barelegged, and with a very indifferent pair of breeches how the villain grinned in scorn at my landing-net, my plummet, and the gorgeous jury of flies which I had assembled to destroy all the fish in the river.
"I'd thought of that myself, and, I guess, perhaps we'd better stick to Irish." "So do I. We can correct any tendency to a brogue, don't you think?" "Certainly," said Thaddeus. "Or, if we couldn't, it wouldn't be fatal to the boy's prospects. It might even help him if he " "Help him? If what?" "If he ever went into polities," said Perkins.
Altogether the Sabine lady felt that she ought to be in a state of panic terror. But she had slept well, it was an excellent cot the air was heavenly bracing, Mrs. O'Mara was a joy to think of, with her brogue and her affectionate nature, and altogether Marjorie Ellison found herself wondering hungrily what there would be for breakfast, and dressing in a hurry so that she could go down and eat it.
'What, sir, will you raise a rebellion among my workmen? 'No, Mr. Mordicai, no rebellion; and I hope you won't cut the boy's ears off for listening to a little of the brogue So listen, my good lad.
