"Wait till we see the profits first, Ellish crockery's very tindher goods." "Ay! just wait, an'I'll engage I'll turn the penny. The family's risin' wid us." "Very thrue," replied Peter, giving a sly wink at the wife "no doubt of it." " Kisin' wid us I tell you to have sinse, Pether; an' it's our duty to have something for the crathurs when they grow up."
Who knows, Pether, but we may have a full shop yit, an' they may be able to make up bits of accounts for us, poor things? Throth, I'd be happy if I wanst seen it." "Faix, Ellish," replied Peter, "if we can get an as we're doin', it is hard to say. For my own part, if I had got the larnin' in time, I might be a bright boy to-day, no doubt of it could spake up to the best o' thim.
"An' now, Docthor," said Ellish, "what 'ud you think a girl ought to bring a young man like Dan, that's to have four thousand pounds?" "I don't think any Catholic girl of his own rank in the county, could get more than a couple of hundred." "That's one shillin' to every pound he has," replied Ellish, almost instantaneously.
In the meantime Ellish was rapidly advancing in life, while such persons were absurdly speculating upon the cause of her success. Her business was not only increased, but extended. From crockery, herrings, and salt, she advanced gradually to deal in other branches adapted to her station, and the wants of the people. She bought stockings, and retailed them every market-day.
"I'm not going to be hard on you," said the good-natured priest; "I only called to tell you a dream that your son Dan had last night about you and his mother." "About Ellish! Oh, for heaven's sake what about her, Father, avourneen?" "She appeared to him, last night," replied Father Mulcahy, "and told him that your drinking kept her out of happiness."
"It's not what you'd lave her, sir, but what you'd give her in the first place, that I'd like to hear. Spake up, your Reverence, an' let us know how far you will go." "I'm afeard, sir," said Peter, "if it goes to a clane bargain atween yez, that Ellish will make you bid up for Dan. Be sharp; sir, or you'll have no chance; faix, you won't." "But, Mrs.
"Faith, it's a thrue as gospel, your honor. Says I, 'Ellish, you beauty'" "I thought," observed Mr. Eccles, "that she sometimes drew the long bow, Peter." "Oh, murdher alive, sir, it was only in regard of her crassin' in an' whippin' the word out o' my mouth, that I wanted to take a rise out of her. Oh, bedad, sir, no; the crathur's thruth to the backbone, an' farther if I'd say it."
This is what renders notice of the sermon and its purport necessary; otherwise the honest people might be seriously at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Elliih avourneen, gho dhe dirsha?" "Ellish, my dear, what is he saying?" "Och, musha niel eshighum, ahagur ta sha er Purgathor, ta barlhum." "Och, I dunna that, jewel; I believe he's on Purgatory." "Och, och, oh och, och, oh oh, i, oh, i, oh!"
"Come away, man," said Peter; "we'll talk upon it as we go along: I couldn't do readily widout it. You hard that I lost Ellish?" "Yes," replied the servant, "and I was very sorry to hear it." "Did you attind the berrin?" "No, but my master did," replied the man; "for, indeed, his respect for your wife was very great, Mr. Connell."
Faix, Pether, there's nothin' like givin' the people sweet words, any way; sure they come chape." * This is a kind of hyperbole for selling a grout quantity. "Faith, an' I'll back you for the sweet words agin any woman in the three kingdoms, Ellish, you darlin'. But don't you know the proverb, 'sweet words butther no parsnips."
