But I don't think that the sea checked them so very much not as much as one might think, for they were driving these vessels. We were next to the last vessel across the starting line. The Nannie O we couldn't see them all about held the Lucy Foster and the Colleen Bawn level. The Withrow showed herself to be a wonderful vessel off the wind, too. Wesley Marrs was around the stake-boat first.
"'My name's Betty Cunningham, says she. "'And next, what's your mistress's, my darling? says Ned. "'There it is, says she, handing him a card. "'Very well, says Ned, the thief, looking at it with a great air, making as if he could read; 'this will just do, a colleen bawn. "'Do you read in your country with the wrong side of the print up? says she.
"She was their last Colleen th' uther craturs wur at home with the Granny," and "he had cum to thry his forthin in Inglind; an' bad forthin it was. But the Lord's will be done, fur the little darlint was happy, any how an' sure they had more av thim at home an' why should she be mopin' an' cryin' her eyes out for her Colleen, that was gone to God!"
He was an excellent actor, especially in pathetic parts. His plays are for the most part adaptations, but are often very ingenious in construction, and have had great popularity. Among the best known are The Colleen Bawn, Arrah-na-Pogue, Faust and Marguerite, and The Shaughraun. B. d. in America.
'The Colleen Bawn, he read, 'Erin's Own, 'The Kathleen Mavourneen, 'The Cruiskeen Lawn. The appropriateness of this last title was not obvious to the mere Irishman, but the colour of the garment was green, so perhaps there was a connection of thought in the maker's mind between that and 'Lawn. 'Cruiskeen' he may have taken for the name of a place.
The Twins and the donkey started along the road. Everything went well until Colleen spied a tuft of green thistles, on a high bank beside the road. Colleen loved thistles, and she made straight for them. The first thing the Twins knew they were sliding swiftly down the donkey's back, while Colleen stood with her fore feet high on the bank and her hind feet in the road.
Beyond doubt or question, Colleen had either understood the word "road," or the word "mountain," or both, and determined her proceedings accordingly. Nothing in my action showed, or could show, the meaning of my words.
An English tourist accustomed to buy the coloured picture postcards with which the Germans obligingly supply our shops, would have recognised her at once as an Irish colleen. Her stockings were of the brightest shade of green. Her shoes, which were highly polished, had aggressively square toes and enormous steel buckles which flashed in the sunlight as she walked.
Miss Nora O'Malley will open the show by singing 'Peggy Brady, as only an Irish colleen of her pretensions can." Nora rose, looked toward Jessica, who went at once to the piano to accompany her, and sang the song demanded with a fascinating brogue that always brought forth the applause of her friends. She responded to an encore. Then Anne's turn came, and she recited "Lasca."
Presently, out of the crowd of frightened people sprang a "colleen" of about twelve years, as thinly and scantily clad as is consistent with that decency and modesty for which Irishwomen of the poorer classes are so justly celebrated.
