The farmer praised Robert as a rare hand, but one affected with bees in his nightcap, who had ideas of his own about farming, and was obstinate with them; "pays you due respect, but's got a notion as how his way of thinking's better 'n his seniors. It's the style now with all young folks. Makes a butt of old Mas' Gammon; laughs at the old man. It ain't respectful t' age, I say.
Milt aint no sweet-scented geranium but's out fer all the simoleons he can pick off the little old Mazuma Tree, why, I on'y says what I reads an' hears, believe me. You bein' his nephew aint changin' public opinion none. See?" Kendrick's anger at this brazenness had prevented him from thinking clearly.
"I think it's time we got them married," replied Fardorougha; "the sooner it's done the better, and the safer for both o' them; especially for the colleen." "Dar a Lorha, he's cracked," said Mrs. O'Brien; "sorra one o' the poor soul but's cracked about his money." "Poor sowl, woman alive! wor you never poor yourself?"
I ain't even got a black silk dress to my name, and there ain't another lady in Kilo but's got one. I guessed when we moved to town I would have the egg money same as on the farm, but since pa had his teeth out an' got new ones he won't eat nothin' but eggs, an' I don't get any egg money. Pa eats so many eggs I'm ashamed to tell it. I wonder he don't sprout feathers.
The porter hustled the Mexican through the narrow aisle and shut him into the tall thin closet where a supply of bedding was wont to be kept, just as the conductor looked into the smoking-room. "Somebody in here with a cigarette, Porter?" "No sah," replied the porter. "Not a living pusson in this heah car but's sleepin'!" "What's the matter with you?" asked the conductor "you look pale."
"But's that's only so that Germany can make more munitions!" "But I'm opposed to their being made in Germany, too!" "What can you do to stop it in Germany?" "I'm an international Socialist. When I oppose war in my own country, I help the Socialists to oppose it in other countries. I ain't a-going to stop not so long as I've got any breath left in me!"
"Troth, Frank, wid the noise an' dancin', an' me bem' dark," replied Barny, shrewdly, "I can't take on me to say. For all you spake agin him, the sorra one of him but's a clane, dacent, spirited boy, as there is widin a great ways of him. Here's all your, healths! Faix, 'girls, you'll all sleep sound." "Well," said Mrs. M'Kenna, "the knowledge of that Darby More is unknowable!
Ye blundering idiot!" he whispered, "she's a half-breed. Och! But's time y'r eastern greenness was tannin' a good western russet! Let her follow with bowed head, or you'll have the whole pack on y'r heels!" With that admonition I strode boldly out, she behind, humble, with downcast eyes like a half-breed girl.
"Why, bad luck to the morsel of 'im but's asleep," said Ned; "Lord pardon me for swearin' in your Reverence's presence." "That's certainly the language of a sleeping man," replied Father Ned, "but there might have been a little more respect than all that snoring comes to. Your health, boys."
"Dinny, if he's spared," he would say, "will be a credit to us all yet. The sorra one of him but's as manly as anything, and as longheaded as a four-footed baste, so he is! nothing daunts or dashes him, or puts him to an amplush: but he'll look you in the face so stout an' cute, an' never redden or stumble, whether he's right or wrong, that it does one's heart good to see him.
