"Pray, sir, how did you come by this note?" "By the temptation of the devil; for although it was in my possession, it didn't save my two other darlins from dying. A piece of a slate would be as useful as it was, for I couldn't change it I durstn't." "You committed a robbery for this note, sir?"
"How many children have you?" I inquired. She laughed and blushed, old woman though she was; and pride and deep delight and love shone in her large, clear, gray eyes. "I've fourteen darlins, thank God for ivery wan of thim! And it's a purrty parthy they are!" "Fourteen!" I exclaimed, "how lovely!" I stopped short and blushed. My heart had spoken. "But how " I stopped again.
"An' is my father never to be drunk any more, mammy?" asked the little ones, joyfully; "an he'll never be angry wid you, nor bate you any more?" "Whisht, darlins," she exclaimed; "don't be spakin' about that; sure your poor father never beat me, only when he didn't know what he was doin'. Never mention it again, one of you."
Here Bareback and a half-dozen braves came up suddenly from the ground, and the chief said fiercely: "You speak crooked things. We are no rogues. We will fight." Macavoy's face ran red to his hair. He scratched his head a little foolishly, and gathered himself up. "Sure, 'twas only me tasin', darlins," he said, "but I'll be comin' again, when y'are not so narvis." He turned to go away.
"Och, then, by the powers, we'll blow them to blazes with these little darlins alone;" and thereon he pulled forth from his coat-tail pockets a pair of huge horse-pistols, of antique date and prodigious bore, which would almost require a rest from which to fire them.
But it could not be loosened from above, if at all, and he himself would be in the path of the destroying hill. "Aisy, aisy, Tim Macavoy," he said to himself. "It's the woman and the darlins av her, an' the rose o' the valley down there at the Post!" A minute afterwards, having chopped down a hickory sapling, he began to pry at the boulder which held the mass.
Afther all, maybe, you wouldn't see him sure the nabors will help us, if you could only humble yourself to ax them!" "Kathleen," said Owen, "when this is past you'll be glad I went indeed you will; sure it's only the tindher feelin' of your hearts, darlins. Who knows what the landlord may do when I see himself, and show him these resates every penny paid him by our own family.
Success to Colonel B ! Blood-an-turf! what'll we do for a fight? Long life to noble Colonel B , the poor man's friend! long life to him for ever an' a day longer! Whoo! my darlins! Huzza!" etc. The warm interest which the Colonel took in M'Evoy's behalf, was looked upon by the other tenants as a guarantee of his sincerity in all he promised. Their enthusiasm knew no bounds.
I fretted about beginnin', dear; but as my Heavenly Father's above me, I'm now happier to beg wid you by my side, nor if I war in the best house of the province widout you! Hould up, avour-neen, for a while. Come on, childhre, darlins, an' the first house we meet we'll ax their char , their assistance. Come on, darlins, and all of yees. Why my heart's asier, so it is.
"They've spoke sharp words in me teeth," he continued, "and they'll pay for it. Bounce! sweat! brag! wind! is it? There's dancin' beyant this night, me darlins!" "Are you sure you'll not run away when they come on?" said Pierre, a little ironically. "Is that the word av a frind?" replied Macavoy, a hand fumbling in his hair. "Did you never run away when faced?" Pierre asked pitilessly.
