Thus the first, second and third saloon-keepers determine. There is a revulsion in the crowd. What is the matter at the basement gate? It is the cook and the housekeeper in contention. "I tell ye's I'm goin' to fasten it on the door! Such doings as this I never heard of. Oh, Davy, my darlint! Oh! Davy, my darlint!" The crowd is withdrawing to the opposite curb, But the crush is tremendous.
The familiar tones of a countryman's voice fell pleasantly on Larry's ear as he sprang into the tent, and, seizing the sick man's hand, cried, "A blissin' on the mouth that said that same. O Pat, darlint! I'm glad to mate with ye. What's the matter with ye? Tell me now, an' don't be lookin' as if ye'd seen a ghost."
Dan Horsey sat on the dresser of my kitchen, switching his boot with a riding-whip, and looking at Susan with an extremely melancholy expression of countenance. Susan was cleaning a silver tea-pot her usual occupation when Dan was present. Cook now resigned to her fate was sighing and peeling potatoes in the scullery. "Och! darlint, me heart's heavier than a cart o' coals," said Dan.
"Be aisy, me darlint," he rejoined in his funny way; "an' if ye can't be aisy, be as aisy as ye can! Now, go on ahid wid ye'r foorst question `one dog, one bone, as me ould friend Dan'l sez." "Well, what have become of all the sailors?" I asked to begin with. "The sailors? Why, here we are, sure, all aloive an' kickin'! What do ye take me an' me lazy mates here for, ma bouchal?"
"Then we sailed right before the wind, due south?" "Sure, an' we did that same afther Mister Haldane's will-o'-the-wisp for three hours, bedad!" "Oh, Mr O'Neil," I pleaded, "please leave me out of it. I'm sure I've seen and heard enough of the ship already!" "Be aisy, me darlint! It's only me fun, sure; and I mean ye no harrum," said he in his jocular way.
"No," I cried as courageously as I was able under the circumstances, "I'm not sorry, I tell you, in spite of all that has happened, and when I get better I'll pay you out for making fun of me when I'm ill!" "Begorra don't say that now, me darlint," said he, grinning more than ever.
The woman lifted the little fellow in her arms, pushed back his cap and smoothed his hair with her fingers, her whole face beaming with tenderness. "Gimme the crutch, darlint, and hold on to me tight, and we'll get under the shed out of the sun till I see what Jennie's sent me." At this instant she caught Babcock's eye. "Oh, it's the boss. Sure, I thought ye'd gone back.
"Oh, Jenny," I said, "how shall I be able to ask her to accept provisions from strangers? I am afraid of wounding her feelings." "Oh, darlint, never fear that! She is proud, I know; but 'tis not a stiff pride, but jist enough to consale her disthress from her ignorant English neighbours, who think so manely of poor folk like her who were once rich.
Peter would be mightily ashamed of him. And is he your brother, do you say?" "No," said Phil. "He said he was; but I thought it was a wicked lie when he said it. He's too bad, sure, to be a brother of yours. But I must go down to my work. My clothes are in the tub, and the water will get cold." "Will you be kind enough to tell me when he goes away?" asked Phil. "Sure I will. Rest aisy, darlint.
She found she could use her zither as it lay upon her breast, and every day the pretty music began at a certain hour, and all in the house soon learned to love and listen for it. Even the old cook set open her kitchen door, saying pitifully, "Poor darlint, hear how purty she's singin', wid the pain, on that crewel boord. It's a little saint, she is. May her bed above be aisy!"
