This arrangement having been made, Connor immediately wrote the letter, and, after having despatched Flanagan upon his errand, set himself to perform, by his individual labor, the task which his father had portioned out for both. Ere Bartle's return, Fardorougha came to inspect their progress in the meadow, and, on finding that the servant was absent, he inquired sharply into the cause of it.
It was evident that, while she, with the feelings of a woman and a mother, instituted a parallel between their personal merits alone, the husband viewed their attachment through that calculating spirit which had regulated his whole life. "You're thinkin' of her money now," she added; "but remimber, Fardorougha, that it wasn't born wid her.
"Yis I wor; an' I'm not ashamed to own it; but, Chierna, Frank," she added, addressing her husband, "there's no use in spakin' to him." "Fardorougha," said O'Brien, seriously, "what brought you here?" "Why, to tell you an' your wife the state that my son, Connor, and your daughter's in about one another; an' to advise you both, if you have sinse, to get them married afore worse happen.
You say, Honor, I don't care about him I'd give him my blood I'd give him my blood to save a hair of his head. My life an' happiness depinds on him; but who knows how he an' his wife might mismanage that money if they got it both young an' foolish? It wasn't for nothing it came into my mind what I'm afeard will happen to me yet." "And what was that, Fardorougha?" asked the wife.
Donovan, "are you unwell, dear? you look as pale as death. Let me get you a drink of fresh milk." "If he's weak," said Fardorougha, "an' he looks weak, a drink of fresh wather 'ud be betther for him; ever an' always a drink of wather for a weak man, or a weak woman aither; it recovers them sooner." "Thank you, kindly, Mrs.
"Faix," replied her companion, "Let Fardorougha alone for knowin' the value of a shillin'! they're not in Europe can hould a harder grip o' one."
Come now and I'll lave your pitchers at home, and remember you owe me something for this." "Good will, I hope." "That for one thing," he replied, as they went along; "but we'll talk more about it when we have time; and I'll thin tell you the truth about what brought me to hire wid Fardorougha Donovan."
Such are the respective states of feeling in which our readers find Fardorougha Donovan and his wife, upon an occasion whose consequences run too far into futurity for us to determine at present whether they are to end in happiness or misery.
"That's very fine talk, Honora; but to people in our condition, I can't see any very great blessin' in a houseful of childre. If we're able to provide for this one, we'll have raison to be thankful widout wishin' for more." "It's my opinion, Fardorougha, you don't love the child."
That I may never, but he looks at the darlin' as if it was a sod of turf. Throth you're not worthy of havin' such a bully." Fardorougha, during this dialogue, held the child in his arms and looked upon it earnestly as before, but without betraying any visible indication of countenance that could enable a spectator to estimate the nature of what passed within him.
