Musha, throw your little things aside, an' stay where ye are today: you can't bring out the childre under the teem of rain an' sleet that's in it. Wurrah dheelish, but it's the bitther day all out!
"Och, an' why wouldn't I, Phelim, acushla? Sure that's but rason." "Well, take this book an' swear it. Be gorra, your word won't do, for it's a thing my mind's made up on. It's I that'll be fond o' the childre." "An' how am I to swear it, Phelim? for I never tuck an oath myself yet." "Take the book in your hand, shut one eye, and say the words afther me. Be the contints o' this book,"
I'm doin' my duty by you, and I expect for that raison, an' as obedient childre' which I've ever found you that you'll do your duty by me, an' give no further opposition to what I'm proposin' for your sakes. I know you're all loath an' you will be loath to lave this place; but do you think? do you? 'that I I oh, my God! do you think, I say, that I'll feel nothing when we go?
Had he been livin' on his property, or looked afther it as he ought to do, I don't think it's lyin' stretched, far from house or habitation, that you would be this night, my blessed mother my poor father, and your childre cut down by persecution, and yourself, without house or home, runnin' an' unhappy, deranged creature about the country, and now lyin' there widout a roof to cover your poor remains."
Soothly, to increase objects for love is to increase sorrow. If thou have no childre, they'll never be torn from thee, nor they will never break thine heart by ill behaving. And most folks behave ill in this world. Ha, chetife! 'tis a weary, dreary place, this world, as ever a poor woman was in. Hast thou a good man to thy baron, child?" "He might be worser," said Lady Basset, icily.
The nun, who had known Ursula Drew for some time, was quite aware that superfluity of meekness did not rank among that worthy woman's failings. "I would fain have a small maid of some twelve or thirteen years. An' ye have them elder, they will needs count they know as much as you, and can return a sharp answer betimes. I love not masterful childre." "But would you not she were something learned?"
I would have my liberty, Avena Foljambe; and I would have my rights; and I would have of mine own childre such honour as 'longeth to a mother by reason and God's law. Is that plain enough? or wouldst have it rougher hewn?" "Dame, your Grace wist well that such matter as this cometh not of pedlars' packs." "Ay!" said the Countess, with a long, weary sigh. "I do, so! Nor out of men's hearts, belike.
But see here here's a page wid only one side of it covered let vis see what's on it. Oh, ay here's the poor craythur's childre, wid the poor father and the poor mother; but they have the one cow to give milk to moisten their bit. Ha ha look again, there she goes off to the pound!
"Childre'," said the father, "our landlord has broken his own father's dyin' promise you all remember how full of delight I came home to you from Dublin, and how she that's gone" he paused; he covered his face with his open hands, through which the tears were seen to trickle. This allusion to their beloved mother was too much for them.
"That was a proof that the man had some taste." "Ay, but why hadn't he that taste afore he married me?" "It was very well that he had it afterwards better late than never." "I want you to tell me where he is." "What family have you?" "Seven small childre that's now fatherless, I may say." "What kind of a man was your husband?"
