The spinning wheel stood in the corner; but another girl was busy near the fire with more modern work, hemming shirts with a machine for a Derry factory, and the bleached linen was the only thing in the house which had not taken on the brown tints of peat smoke.
To lose a seat anywhere in the north-eastern counties at such a critical time in the movement was bad enough, but the unfading halo of the historic siege rested on Derry as on a sanctuary of Protestantism and loyalty, so that the capture of the "Maiden City" by the enemy wounded loyalist sentiment far more deeply than the loss of any other constituency.
Now what is Mack doin'? He's settin' in his parlor, writin' letthers to th' queen, be hivins, askin' afther her health. He was fr'm th' north iv Ireland two years ago, an' not so far north ayether, just far enough north f'r to be on good terms with Derry an' not far enough to be bad frinds with Limerick.
It was only when they were alone that the nurse was submerged in the woman. With her bonnet off and a white cap in its place, she moved about the room. "I shall be very comfortable," she said, when Derry inquired if anything could be done for her. "We haven't any women about the place but Cook," he explained. "She has been in our family forever "

If we liked it, and saw anything of Kitty's descendants, or any nice pitchers to break, or any reason for breaking them, we intended to stop; if not, then to push on to the walled town of Derry,

See post, July 17, 1779, where he put Johnson's friendship to the test by neglecting to write to him. No doubt Dr. Barnard, Dean of Derry, afterwards Bishop of Killaloe. See ante, p. 84. The reverse of the story of Combabus, on which Mr. David Hume told Lord Macartney, that a friend of his had written a tragedy.

"It is something, but it isn't much," said his small daughter, obstinately. "I don't want to love the world, Daddy. I want to love Derry " The Doctor groaned. "I thought I had escaped him, for a day." "You will never escape him," was the merciless rejoinder, but she kissed him to make up for it.
