I am a beautiful darner; let me try my hand, please;" and taking the coat from her before she had time to recover from her astonishment, he seated himself upon a chair and began industriously to ply the needle, while Bessie looked on amazed.
Just what Jerry wanted to show Darn he couldn't scare him. His oozing courage flamed up in a final flare of desperation. Through his tears and the choke in his throat he cried: "Darn Darn Darner! Darn! Darn! Darn! Darn Darn Darner!" "That's about enough from you, Jerry Elbow!" shouted Darn. He gave Jerry a resounding slap in the face.
Ingleside very much. Then she went to her bureau, and put her stockings in their drawer, and set the little basket, with its cotton-ball and darner, and maplewood egg, and small sharp scissors, on the top; and then she went and sat down by the window, in her white considering-chair. For she had something to think about this morning. Ruth's room had three doors.
Perhaps she stood a little in awe of Lettice, and wondered occasionally whether her husband considered a woman who knew Latin and Greek, and wrote clever articles in The Decade, superior to one who had no such accomplishments, though she might be prettier, and the mother of his children, and even the darner of his stockings.
"What does all this hullabaloo mean?" he asked Mrs. Mullarkey, in a gruff voice. "It means," said Whiteface, answering for her and advancing towards Mr. Darner, Jerry's hand held tightly in his, "that Jerry Elbow has found his parents and the people have followed us here to show how glad they are." "You his father? A clown in a circus?" asked Mr. Darner.
Wade could divine easily the meaning of this little mischievous talk. His friend Churm had no doubt puffed him furiously. "All this time," said Miss Darner, evading a reply, "we are neglecting our skating privileges." "Peter and I have a few grains of humanity in our souls," Fanny said.

"Yes, I am his father and I am a clown in a circus," replied Whiteface. "Mr. Darner is the County Overseer of the Poor," Mrs. Mullarkey explained. "He's been at me to give Jerry up and let him take him to the poor farm ever since my Dan died." "It's for your own good and your children's and Jerry's, too, if you weren't too blind to see it," the Overseer stated.
"You cannot guess who it was," said Annie in answer to his query;" so I will make a favour of telling you. Do you remember the Rev. Mr. Darner, rector of Downhill Market?" "Very well. He preached very tiresome sermons." "The young lady was his daughter Mary." "'Tis a miracle! What is Mary Darner doing in America?" "She is on a visit to her cousin, who is married to the Governor of Massachusetts.
"Don't be afraid of Whiteface, Kathleen," called Jerry. "He's father." At last Mrs. Mullarkey found her voice, but at the queer, choking sound she made, Jerry looked up and saw tears running down her face. "I can't tell you how glad I am that you have found your father and mother, Jerry," she said. "Mr. Darner is here now and, after all, he was going to take you away this very day.
