Mullarkey had agreed as to how she'd hafta let him take Jerry because her insurance money from Mr. Mullarkey was all gone and she couldn't make enough to support her own kids." "It ain't so!" blustered Jerry, but all the time terribly frightened. He tried to think of something to say that would show he was not afraid of Darn Darner, who was always picking on little boys. "You shan't go!"
He some way knew that Darn Darner was telling the truth and that soon he would be torn away from the only home he could remember. His lips twisted and he felt the hot tears filling his eyes. Yet he denied Darn's statement with all his soul. "They won't! They shan't take me! I'll run away first!" "Much good that would do you," commented Darn unsympathetically. "It'd be easy enough to find you."
Van Ariens, I shall not feel free. And also, I do not wish him to come here, and in his last letter he spoke of such an intention." So the two letters that of Hyde to Cornelia, and that of Mary Darner to Van Ariens, left England for America in the same packet; and though Mary Darner undoubtedly had some suffering and disappointment to conquer, the fight was all within her.
I want to be a very efficient darner, so my patches won't make his poor dear feet sore. "'Lord help us, cried Dan, springing to his feet and flinging himself through the hedge and slamming the door until it shook the house. He went away angry every time. He simply couldn't be rational. One day he said he guessed he would have to be the goat and marry me himself just to keep me out of trouble.
Jerry slumped down into the dust of the road, weeping bitterly, and Celia Jane flopped down by him, hugging him tight and mingling her tears with his. Danny and Chris and even the usually gentle Nora, but for once with all her gentleness vanished, gave vent to their feelings against Darn by making a chant out of his name. "Darn Darn Darner! Darn! Darn! Darn! Darn Darn Darner! Darn! Darn! Darn!"
When she came in, with the child in one hand, and the huge knife in the other, she went up to the little darner to look at her work. The heel of the Ogre's stocking was exquisitely mended, all but seven threads; but the little maid sat idle with her hands before her. "Why don't you go on darning?" asked the Ogress.
"I didn't know just how Dan Mullarkey left you fixed, but I can do something to help you. Darner can be made to listen to reason and I can bring some influence to bear upon him. I don't see why the county can't let you have as much as it would cost it to keep Jerry at the farm. I belong to the same lodge as Dan did and we'll help you some there. I'll find something for Danny to do.
Mullarkey." "We are sure you meant things for the best, Mr. Darner," said Jerry's mother. "Good-by." Mrs. Mullarkey was looking so hard at Jerry's parents that she did not return Mr. Darner's "Good afternoon" as he left the house or seem even to have heard it. "It can't be true, what you just said," she at length articulated in a choked voice. "Such things don't happen to us."
"He fought Darn Darner when he said they was goin' to take me to the poor farm." "So do I l-l-like you, J J Jerry," sobbed Celia Jane. " I I'm sorry I " A fresh outburst of sobbing prevented further speech. Jerry's heart was touched at her grief and his own lips began to twist. "I want Danny and Celia Jane to see the circus, too, Mother 'Larkey," Jerry protested. "I ain't mad at them any more."
