Not, after all, that there existed, according to the opinion of their neighbors, such a vast disparity in the wealth of each; on the contrary, many were heard to assert, that of the two Fardorougha had the heavier purse.
With white, quivering lips and panting breath, Fardorougha approached and joined them. "What, what," said he, in a broken sentence, "is this true can it, can it be true? Is the thievin' villain of hell gone? Has he robbed us, ruined us, destroyed us?"
She ran upstairs, and immediately one of the most beggarly, sordid, and pusillanimous knocks that ever spoke of starvation and misery was heard at the door. "I will answer it myself," thought the amiable brother; "for if my father or mother does, he surely will not be allowed in." John could scarcely preserve a grave face, when Fardorougha presented himself.
Instead o' feelin' happy and delighted, as you ought to ha' done, an' as any other man but yourself would, you grew dark an' sulky, and grumbled bekase you thought there was a family comin'. I tould you that night to take care an' not be committing sin; an' you may renumber, too, that I gev you chapter an' verse for it out o' Scripture: 'Woe be to the man that's born wid a millstone about his neck, especially if he's to be cast into the say. The truth is, Fardorougha, you warn't thankful to God for him; and you see that afther all, it doesn't do to go to loggerheads wid the Almighty.
No prepare him by your advice, Fardorougha, ay, and by your example, to be firm and tell him that his mother expects he will die like an innocent man noble and brave and not like a guilty coward, afeard to look up and meet his God."
Oh, God support me! my heart here my heart'll break! My brain, too, and my head oh! if God 'ud take me before I'd see it! But it can't be it's not possible that our innocent boy should meet sich a death!" "No, dear, it is not; sure he's innocent that's one comfort; but, Fardorougha, as the men said, you must go to a lawyer and see what can be done to defind him."
A happy night it is for Fardorougha and the misthress, at any rate. I'll engage the stranger was worth waitin' for, too. I'll hould a thrifle, he's the beauty o' the world this minnit an' I'll engage it's breeches we'll have to be I gettin for him some o' these days, the darlin'. Well, here's his health, any way; an' may he "
"Ay, ay," said the latter, "it's very fine now that you have everything your own way, you girsha; but, sure, you're all the daughter we have, achora, and it would be too bad not to let you have a little of your own opinion in the choice of a husband. Now go up stairs, or where you please, till we see what can be done with Fardorougha himself."
"Oh, no, Fardorougha dear,the mother, the mother, that her breast was so often his pillow, has the best right, now that he's gone, to lay her head where his lay. Oh, for Heaven's sake, lave that poor pleasure to me, Fardorougha!" "No, Honor, you can bear up undher grief better than I can. I must sleep where my boy slept."
Think, Fardorougha, whether you acted a bad part towards God or not, and never heed us; an' think, too, dear, whether you acted a bad or a good part towards the poor, an' them that was in distress and hardship, an' that came to you for relief; they were your fellow-crathers, Fardorougha, at all evints. Think of these things I'm sayin, and never heed us.
