For years they wandered where they would, but always were back for the month of June; and no one remembered that the twenty-first was the date of Colleen McMasters's death, or know that on that day his grave was visited, and there alone a woman yielded to the memories that ever filled her heart. When her father died life in Yorkburg was impossible.
"Faith, yis; the very same little darlint of a colleen. Dick, ye spalpeen, jist lit me shake y'r fist agin, lad. I'm the happiest man in the wurrld!" "Whee-e-e-e-eew," I whistled through my teeth. "This is indeed a surprise!"
"Sure enough, the bad dhrop's in him," exclaimed several on both sides. "But what the h l does he mane now, I dunna?" "It'll be only a good joke to-morrow wid him," observed one of them "but, boys, we must think how to manage him; I can't forgive him for the cowardly blow he hot the poor colleen here, an' for the same rason I didn't dhraw the knot so tight upon her as I could a' done."
There was an exquisite deluderin' wildness about her, a vivacity, a length of eyelash with a gleam of Irish grey eye, 'the greyest of all things blue, the bluest of all things grey, that might well have inspired the English poet to write of her as he did of his own Irish wife; for Spenser, when he was not writing the Faerie Queene, or smoking Raleigh's fragrant weed, wooed and wedded a fair colleen of County Cork.
"May I drive, father?" said Nora. "You, little one? Suppose you bring Black Bess down on her knees? That horse is worth three hundred pounds, if she's worth a penny." "Do you think I would?" said the girl reproachfully. "Now, dad, that is about the cruelest word you have said to your Nora for many a day." "Come and give me a hug, colleen," said the Squire.
"I don't mind that so much now," said Moriarty, "though I don't deny I was angry at the time, but what I won't have is Mary Ellen dressed up to be an ancient Irish colleen. It's not respectful to the girl." "You told me the other day that you want the Lord-Lieutenant to make you a sergeant. Did you mean that when you said it, or did you not?"
"I'll tell you what I'm going to do: I'm going to take you to the Museum after dinner, and let you see Boucicault in the 'Colleen Bawn." He swept his paper off the table and unfolded his napkin in his lap, and, leaning back in his chair, began to tell her about the play. "We can walk: it's only just round the corner," he said at the end.
Well, it's the colleen inside of them that must settle the question for it's outside the jurisdiction of a Bodymaster and the Lord be praised for that! We have enough on us, without the women as well. You'll have to be affiliated to Lodge 341, Brother McMurdo. We have our own ways and methods, different from Chicago.
But here was a measured course and properly anchored stake-boats and the Lucy and the Colleen did that first leg of almost fourteen sea-miles in fifty minutes, which is better than a 16-1/2 knot clip, and that means over nineteen land miles an hour. I think anybody would call that pretty fast going. And, as some of them said afterward, "Lord in Heaven! suppose we'd had smooth water!"
Won't you, Denis?" "I will, Susy; and I will love the shirts for the sake of the hands that made them." "And I won't allow Susy Connor to help me as she used to do: they'll be all Alley's sewin' and mine." "The poor colleen listen to her!" exclaimed the affectionate father; "indeed you will, Susy; ay, and hem his cravats, that we'll send him ready made an' all."
