Byrne cried: "What's wrong?" Mrs. Cregan did not hear. She stampeded to the door in the ponderous fright of a panic-stricken elephant. Her one thought was to find a place where she might get on her knees.... Cregan! It was himself! It was Dinny! Killed, maybe! She had blasphemed against the Church and Father Dumphy, and she must pray. She must pray for herself and for Cregan.
What'd Father Dumphy say to this, think yuh?" "He's a man. I know what he'd say. He'd tell me to go back to Cregan. I'll niver go back. Niver!" "Yuh won't! What'll yuh do, then? Where'll yuh go to?" "I'll niver go back. Niver! He's broke me best chiny an' kicked the leg off the chair an' overtoorned the table an' ordered me out o' the little bit o' home I been all these years puttin' together.
Cregan not knowin' where I was to go to, ner how I was to live I'd go an' have a talk with her before I went further, d'yuh see?" "God forbid! 'Tis a mortal sin." "'Tis not. When I told Father Dumphy what I'd done, he called me an ol' fool an' gave me an extry litany fer penance. What's a litany!" "I'd be scared o' me life!" "Yuh w'd not. Come along with me. I was goin'. I got troubles o' me own.
I'm done with him an' Father Dumphy an' the whole dang lot o' yuz. Slavin' an' savin' fer nothin' at all. I'll worrk fer mesilf now, an' none other. Neither Cregan ner the choorch ner no one ilse 'll get a penny's good o' me no more. I got no one in the wide worrld but mesilf to look to, an' I'll go it alone." Mrs.
"I'll niver go back to 'm. He can have his house to himsilf.... What do I care for Father Dumphy? He wants nothin' but the dime I leaves at the choorch doore, an' the dime I drops on the plate! Whin me poorse's impty, he'll not bother his head about me!" "Shame on yuh!" Mrs. Byrne wheezed, with her eye on the house she was passing. "Yuh talk no better than a Prod'stunt."
