"Here's a basket ov flowers for Henry, Anna, the childther gethered thim th' day," Maggie McKinstry said as she laid them down on the hearthstones beside Anna. "Ye've got some time, Maggie?" "Oh, aye." "Make a chain ov them an' let it go all th' way aroun' th' body, they'll look purty that way, don't ye think so?" "Illigant, indeed, to be shure! 'Deed I'll do it." And it was done.
"Sure I was sick, your honour, and the farrum was gettin' desthroyed;" or, "I was too poor to buy seed for the whole of it, and let some at conacre to Thady O'Flaherty, that's a good man, your honour, as any in Galway!" or "Wad ye have me tur-r-r-n my own childther out like geese on the mountain?" are a few of the replies which would, I am assured by a native, be made to any inquiry or reproof concerning the subletting of land or the accumulation of people.
Think of being able to gather up all the childther hereabouts, eager, hungry-hearted childther with mothers too busy or deaf to heed them, and leading them away to find their fortunes! Wouldn't that be wonderful, just?" "What kind of fortunes?" asked the tinker. "What but the best kind!" Patsy thought for a moment, and smiled whimsically while her eyes grew strangely starry in that early twilight.
To Eliza Conlon was given the task of providing refreshments. I say "task," for after the carpenter was paid for the coffin and Jamie Scott for the hearse there was only six shillings left. "Get whey for th' childther," Anna said, and "childther" in this catalog ran up into the twenties. For the older "childther" there was something from Mrs.
"Ye can haave whativer benefit ov th' doubt there is, Jamie, but jist th' same any oul throllop can be a father, but by G it takes a rale wuman t' be th' mother ov a rale maan! Put that in yer pipe an' smoke it." "He seems t' think," said Jamie, appealing to me, "that only quality can projuce fine childther!"
"Aye, love is shure enough an' enough's as good as a faste, but what about childther if th' come, Anna?" "We don't cross a stile till we come to it, do we?" "That's right, that's right, acushla; now we're as rich as lords, aren't we, but I'm th' richest, amn't I? I've got you an' you've only got me." "I've got book learning, but you've got love and a trade, what more do I want?

"Thrue for you, Bridget, for th' do say that th' Virgin takes all sich childther before they're ten." "Musha, but Mrs. Gilmore'll take on terrible," continued Mrs. Tierney, "but th' will of God must be done." Anna was dressed in a dainty pink dress.
Hunt up a shop for me, lad, will ye? There must be one down the street a bit; and if ye'll loan me some of that half-crown the good man paid for your tinkering, I'd like to be having a New York News if they have one along with the fixings for a letter I have to be writing. While ye are gone I'll bewitch the childther." And she did.
'Yez contimplated playin' the divil wid a big shtick among the weemin an' the childther. Tom Moran, ye thunderin' great ilephant av a man, d'ye think ye cud fight a sick hen on a fince? Moran replied with uproarious profanity and frantic pantomime, and the abuse became general and vociferous.
