"And that depinds upon what you'll do for your daughter," replied the sagacious old miser. "At this rate we're not likely to agree." "Nothin's asier; you have only to spake out; besides it's your business, bein' the colleen's father." "Try him, and name something fair," whispered John. "If I give her a farm of thirty acres of good land, stocked and all, what will you do for Connor?"
Nora instantly left the room, the dogs following her. "What ails her?" said the Squire, looking at his wife. "Ails her, Pat? Nothing that I know of." "Then you know very little," was his answer. "I never see that sort of anxious frown between the colleen's brows without knowing there's mischief in the wind. Somebody has been worrying her, and I won't have it."
The Colleen's crew had hoisted their mains'l already and there she lay swayed up and all ready, and men aloft were even then putting the seizing on. Tom O'Donnell himself was pointing it out to Sam Hollis with a good deal of glee, thinking, I suppose, to worry Hollis, who, to uphold his reputation, would have to do the same and take the chances that went with it.
From time to time one of the girls tripped out as far as the stile before the door, where she stood looking in a particular direction until her sight was fatigued. "Och, och," her mother exclaimed during her absence, "but that colleen's sick about Barny! musha, but it would be the beautiful joke, all out, if he'd disappoint the whole of yez.
She was so quiet that Larry said: "We'll tie the rope to one of Diddy's hind legs, and she'll run home herself in front of us." So when they reached the road he and Dennis tied the rope securely to Diddy's left hind leg and set her down. They found Colleen asleep, standing up. Larry woke her. Then he said, "Eileen, come now, you take the jug, and get on Colleen's back.
To her many brothers and sisters, Eileen was just the baby, and always remained so, even in the eyes of the eminent civil engineer who was only her senior by a year. Among the peasantry subtly prescient of her freakish destinies she was dubbed "a fairy child": which was by no means a compliment. A bad uncanny creature for all the colleen's winsome looks.
It's likely the police were after them." They went back to the road, and the Twins got up again on Colleen's back, and soon they had reached the near end of the bog. Mr McQueen stopped. "I'll be cutting the turf here," he said, "and the two of you can go on to Grannie Malone's with the donkey, and bring back the jug with yourselves. Get along with you," and he gave the donkey a slap.
In his shirt-sleeves, the neck open at the throat, he looked the embodiment of masculine vigor. Diane could not help mentioning it to her cousin. "Isn't he a splendid human animal?" Sheba nodded. "He's wonderful." "If I were a little Irish colleen and he had done me the honor to care for me, I'd have fallen fathoms deep in love with him." The Irish colleen's eyes grew reflective.
"Noo York," said Raggles. When "Kid" Brady was sent to the rope by Molly McKeever's blue-black eyes he withdrew from the Stovepipe Gang. So much for the power of a colleen's blanderin' tongue and stubborn true-heartedness.
