"Sure ye're not angry with me, Pat?" said Elleney timidly, as she followed him to the door. "I'm very grateful for all ye done for me."

Elleney returned somewhat mournfully to the parlour, there to find the whole family in a state of violent excitement. Mrs.
If she wasn't the mistress's niece itself, ye might whistle for her, Pat, me boy." Meanwhile Elleney had gone staggering along the passage with her heavy tray, and now bumped it against the parlour door as an intimation that she would like some one to open it. This unspoken request was acceded to so suddenly that she almost fell forward into the room.
"She's above, doin' her hair, and Henny's sewin' the bows on her dress." "Well, well, I'll call them. You'll have to keep the shop goin' altogether, Elleney, this day. All the girls is wild to have a chance, an' I know ye won't mind doin' a bit extra." "I wonder which it will be," meditated Elleney. "If I was him I'd take Nanny." But Mr. Brian seemed quite unmoved by Nanny's rollicking charms.
McNally, when Elleney breathlessly summoned her. "Look at your sleeves, and your skirt tucked up an' all. I declare I'm ashamed of my life " "How could I know it was him?" protested Elleney. "To be sure, to be sure, none of us expected him; an' any way it doesn't matter about you. Here, pull down your sleeves, dear, and take my place for a bit. Where's Ju?"
Brennan ye were cryin' about, me poor child?" said Mrs. McNally, in a compassionate but distinctly audible whisper. Brian shot a melting glance towards her. "Upon me word," he was beginning plaintively, when Elleney interrupted him with a little shriek of exasperation, and a stamp of her foot. "Oh dear, oh dear, everything is contrairy this day! I'd have ye to know, Mr.
Elleney gazed, and rubbed big eyes yet heavy with slumber, and gazed again; then she heaved a deep sigh, half of rapture, half of regret. "It's beautiful, entirely," she said. "An' that big black hill at the back o' the trees is the grandest ever I seen.
Pat sat back on his prostrate foe, and stared up at her with astonished concern. Elleney sobbed louder than before, and Brian, raising his voice, uttered a forcible expression of opinion.

Half-an-hour afterwards Mrs. McNally entered the parlour with a dubious, almost timid, expression on her good-natured face.
"Musha! what is it all about at all?" queried Mrs. McNally. "Elleney, quit cryin' an' tell me what happened ye? What was that impident fellow Pat doin' rollin' Mr. Brennan on the floor?" Elleney shook her head, and wept, and nearly throttled her aunt, but entered on no explanation. Quick steps were now heard in the passage, and Anna Maria burst in.
But he must be kept in his place, me child, an' ye see " "A-ah, m'mah, in the name of goodnsss sit down and pour out the tea," interrupted Anna Maria impatiently. "I'm dyin' for me cup. An' sure ye haven't brought us anythin' at all to eat yet, Elleney. Off with you now, an' bring that same toast whoever made it. The poor child's frightened out of her wits.
