A clock, with a little wheeze and burring attached to each chime, rang six, and upon it Mrs. Coblenz, breathing from a climb, opened the door. "Ma, why didn't you rap for Katie to come up and light the gas? You'll ruin your eyes, dearie."
She was scuffling with her feet, clattering the chair, as she wrenched the door open. And then, in her own voice: "Nan, I won't! I won't let you stand for this, I " Then as Gypsy Nan again: "Run, dearie! Don't youse mind old Nan!" She banged the door shut, locked it, and whipped out the key. It had taken scarcely a second.
"Doan't 'e taake on 'bout Will, dearie; you'll come to knaw un better bimebye. I ban't gwaine so far arter all; an' it's got to be." Then the miller worked himself into a passion, dared Chown to take his daughter's boxes, and made a scene very painful to witness and quite futile in its effect. Phoebe could be strong at times, and a life's knowledge of her father helped her now.
'Punish, I take it, dearie, your father and mother punishes you at times, don't they? 'No, never; only nurse. 'Ah, well; and doesn't she desire your good? She don't do it just to spite you. 'I s'pose it's for my good, said Betty doubtfully. 'Tribbylation will allays be a mystery, went on the old woman, speaking more to Reuben than the child.
The sick man reached out his hand which she took as she sat beside him. "This is Kathleen, Tom. He's your uncle and a priest, my darling. She sits by me this way, Tom, and we say our beads together. I know it won't be long now, dearie, 'till you can go with your uncle where there is a church and a chance to profit by it." Father Tom closed his brother's eyes two days later.
"So are air and water, dearie," he cried, with sudden passion that surprised her. "I don't think I'll ever understand men, though. Wine, women and song they seem to lump together into a sort of tolerated degradation." "I don't know much about song, but women and wine are certainly to be lumped together. They're both an uncontrollable hunger. And they give you a thick head afterwards!
So this was what caused the rumpus in the night! But come, dearie, 'tis rest ye want, sure!" She laid her and on Maren's arm and there was in its gentle touch something which broke down the last quivering strand of strength within the girl, striving to stand upright. "Yes, Madame," she said dreamily. "Yes, but he must have he must have broth and a bandage, wet"
"I left you the collar-and-cuff box with his initials on, dearie, for a remembrance. I give it to him the first Christmas after we was married, before he got to developing rough. I been through his things now entire. I got 'em all with me. If there's such a thing as a recordin' angel, you'll go down on the book. Will was a bad lot, but he's done with it now, dearie.
And Tyrrel may buy me a bunch of white violets. I am none too old to wear them. Who knows but I may go to the theater also?" "Oh, Granny, you are just the dearest young lady I know! Tyrrel will be as proud as a peacock." "Well, I am not as young as I might be, but I am a deal younger than I look. Listen, dearie, I have never FELT old yet! Isn't that a thing to be grateful for?
"You will, dearie? Ay, and you shall. Come to me, dearie, when you are alone. Make Barellan your home whenever you need one." As she spoke Dickson and Nellie came round the corner of the verandah. The shifty eyes of the one twinkled for a moment with a glee which was not beautiful to see; the dark eyes of the other glittered. "She never said that to me," Nellie said under her breath.
