It happened to be the fact, indeed, that she had never felt more depressed and bereft in her life: witness her hailing Hen Cooney, whom she had never cared much for, and less than ever after the way Hen had shown her real nature about the Works. Time's chances had brought her to this, that she preferred Hen's society above the company of her own thoughts.
"An' this rain, too," said Cooney, "so soft, and even, and small, and warm, that it's playin' the very devil. Nothin' could stand it. Why it ud make a rotten twig grow if it was put into the ground." "Divil a one o' me would like to make the third," said Murray, "for 'fraid I might have the misfortune to succeed. Death alive!
Once he turned northwards and gazed, making a telescope of his hands. He saw nothing, and fell again to his long task. Within the hut the sick man cried softly to himself. Faed, the Snipe, and Cooney slept uneasily, and muttered in their dreams. The Gaffer lay awake, thinking. After Bill, George Lashman; and after George? . . . Who next? And who would be the last the unburied one?
After supper, cooney was honoured with a description, and for many of the facts of his history we are indebted to Jake himself. None has a wider geographical distribution, as its "range" embraces the entire Continent, from the Polar Sea to Terra del Fuego. Some naturalists have denied that it is found in South America.
Cally herself was aware of an inner buoyance oddly at variance with the drab Cooney milieu. Recent progress in the great game had more than blotted out all memory of little mishaps at the Beach.... Starting aloft for the napkins, Looloo was adroitly tripped by Tee Wee, and fell back upon him with a little shriek.
It took all we had to produce the music. For twenty-five years the Smiths and Cooney Simpson, who plays first clarionet, have been at swords' points, each with a faction behind him.
But twice, without the nurse's knowledge, Miss Masters took her rest-time every afternoon from three to seven, rules were suspended to admit Miss Sadie Whirtle, of Baird & Himmel's, an enormous, snapping, red-cheeked girl she proved to be, whose ample Semitic countenance gave a copious background for violet talcum, but who said nothing wittier in Vivian's hearing than "Very pleased to make your acquaintance, I'm sure" and once to admit Miss Henrietta Cooney, of Saltman's bookstore.
They sang doggerel which, to me, was blasphemous, and especially a song with the following refrain: ``Alas poor Cooney Clay, Alas poor Cooney Clay, You never can be President, For so the people say.
The eldest-born made no other reply to his mother, nor did Theodore: meekness under parental reproof being another of the odd Cooney characteristics. Conversation seemed about to languish; but Mrs. Cooney, as if to show that the episode was closed, said equably: "By the way, Cally, Cousin Martha Heth is coming next week to make us quite a visit.
They were Alexander Williamson, of Dundee, better known as The Gaffer; David Faed, also of Dundee; George Lashman, of Cardiff; Long Ede, of Hayle, in Cornwall; Charles Silchester, otherwise The Snipe, of Ratcliff Highway or thereabouts; and Daniel Cooney, shipped at Tromso six weeks before the wreck, an Irish-American by birth and of no known address.
