"Och! isn't it a purty sight," remarked O'Riley to Mivins, "to see us all goin' out like good little childers to see the sun rise of a beautiful mornin' like this?" "So it his," answered Mivins; "but I wish it wasn't quite so cold." It was indeed cold so cold that the men had to beat their hands together, and stamp their feet, and rush about like real children, in order to keep their bodies warm.
In these respects, at least, there is no resemblance between the conditions of Ireland and that of any of the Colonies. On the other hand, politically, Ireland was for centuries treated as a colony "the first and nearest of the Colonies," as Mr. Childers puts it.
At a conference held at the London School of Economics on the 10th of January, 1912, Professor T.M. Kettle, Mr. Erskine Childers, and Mr. Thomas Lough, M.P., declared themselves in favour of Irish fiscal autonomy, while Lord Macdonnell opposed the idea as irreconcilable with the fiscal policy of Great Britain.
I suppose, however, he had this move in his mind he was always half-cracked and then considered her provided for. If you should happen to have looked in to-night, for the purpose of telling him that you were going to do her any little service, said Mr. Childers, stroking his face again, and repeating his look, 'it would be very fortunate and well-timed; very fortunate and well- timed.
And many of his wins have become historic; notably the Grand National in the year of Sedan when Merry Andrew, who had three legs and one lung, so the story went, won for him by two lengths; and thirty years later Cannibal's still more astounding victory in the same race, when Monkey Brand out-jockeyed Chukkers Childers, the American crack, in one of the most desperate set-to's in the annals of Aintree.
"Now, Mrs Childers," said the young lieutenant, "the last experiment is about to be made, and I think it will interest you even more than the others. See, they are about to send off the electrical steam-pinnace." As he spoke, a boat was being prepared alongside the ship. "Why!" exclaimed my mother, almost speechless with surprise, "they have forgotten to send its crew in it."

Then off a ball from Childers a four was scored, but the next ball leveled the outside stump. Then by singles the score mounted up until a tremendous shout from the House announced that the game was saved, sixty runs being marked by the scorers.
Was short in his leaps and bad in his tumbling, Mr. Childers interpreted. 'Oh! said Mr. Gradgrind, 'that is tip, is it? 'In a general way that's missing his tip, Mr. E. W. B. Childers answered. 'Nine oils, Merrylegs, missing tips, garters, banners, and Ponging, eh! ejaculated Bounderby, with his laugh of laughs. 'Queer sort of company, too, for a man who has raised himself!
