Her eyes were full of tears at Father Miles's tone and earnestness, but she could not have made clear to herself what he had said. "Will I put a dhrap more of wather in it, your riverence?" she suggested, but the priest shook his head gently, and, taking a handful of parish papers out of his pocket, proceeded to hold conference with the master of the house.
Ye'll change horses, ye'll change clothes, ye'll change yerself, but ye'll always be in the furrow, plowin', plowin', plowin'! I'll go a bit of th' way, Jamie'll go a bit, yer brothers an' sisters a bit, but we'll dhrap out wan b' wan. Ye're God's plowmaan." As I stood to say good-night she put her hand on my head and muttered something that was not intended for me to hear.
Biddy had less self-command than the others, and she was heard saying aloud, "Och! and did n't I dhrame of the blessed springs and wells of Ireland the night, and haven't I dhrunk at 'em all? but now it's over, and I am awake, no good has't done me, and I'm ready to die for one dhrap of wather." That drop soon came, however, and with it the blessed relief which such a boon bestows.
But tell her, Raowl, that I won't buy a pig in a poke: they must first let me off from the hangin', de ye hear? tell her that." "I say, Raowl, does she consint?" "She hasn't made up her mind yet." "By the holy vistment! thin it's all up wid Murt. The saints won't save him. Take another dhrap, Raowl!"
The semi-barbarism of the Irish Catholicism of Tipperary and Clare is now fairly inaugurated in Leavenworth city. All the horses of the livery stables are hired to attend an Irish funeral, and as the mourners take a "wee bit of a dhrap" before starting, they are lucky if they get the corpse well under ground without a fight.
"Sure am I that I would not touch a dhrap, while the missus and Miss Rosy was a sufferin'." "I have no thirst at all," answered Rose, sweetly, "and have already taken more water than was good for me, with so little food on my stomach." "Eat another morsel of the bread, beloved," whispered Harry, in a manner so urgent that Rose gratefully complied.
Now the mate of the ship I came from Liverpool in, this time ten years agone, he was a villain. He grudged us our potaties, and our own bread; and he grudged us every dhrap of swate wather that went into our mouths. Call him a villain, if you will, Jack; but niver call the likes of Mr. Mulford by so hard a name."
"'There, there, Lanty, dear; I'm sorry for that same, but what wud the people say, an' my husband not berrid? But I mustn't be seen talkin' more wid you. I'll be alone to-night when the gossoon is asleep, and ye can dhrap in, and tell me what ye like, av ye plaze. "At about ten o'clock that night, the Rev.
Sure am I, that if I had a quar-r-t of good, swate wather from our own pump, and that's far betther is it than the Crothon the best day the Crothon ever seed but had I a quar-r-t of it, every dhrap would I give to you, Miss Rose, to app'ase your thirst, I would."
I was vexed at the intrusion; but prompted by some impulse of curiosity, I lay still and listened. Barney was speaking as they approached. "In trath, Misther Gowdey, an' it's meself 'ud go far this blissed night for a dhrap o' the crayter. I noticed the little kig afore; but divil resave me av I thought it was anythin' barrin' cowld water.
