"Me fayther came over here harvestin' last summer, sor, an' turned organ-grinder; an' now, sure, he's an Oitalian." "Was it him that signed this paper?" asked the master-at-arms, when he was able to control his speech again after a second burst of merriment at the Irish boy's droll way of expressing himself, and comical look.
And, oh, he's been very good in bringing back our Sammul." "We shall have a rare family gathering when we all meet, Old Crow, Deborah, and all," said Betty. "There'll be fayther, and our John, and our Sammul, and our Jacob, and our Deborah, and Old Crow, and little Sammul, and the babe. We must get the squire to build us another cottage."
He's a pretty smooth talker, your fayther. Just dropped in to see how I be, since his son was interested. Talked a sight of law gibberish I didn't understand. Told me I didn't have much of a case; said the policy of the railrud was to be liberal, and wanted to know what I thought I ought to have." "Well?" said Austen, shortly. "Well," said Mr.
You told me about another leddy; and beside that, I wouldna come atween you and your fayther. "I have spoken to the other lady, and she has refused me." "Puir thing! I'm dooting you asked her for the refusal. I hae had many a sair heart anent her since you went awa'; and when I think o' her, I dinna feel as if I deserved my ain joy." "I could love none but you, Maggie.
"Faith, if I had ye in the ould counthry," answered back Mick, not for a moment nonplussed, "I'd soon show ye how an Oitalian of the raal sort, loike me fayther, sor, lives! Bedad, it's praties an' crame we hev fur tay, sure, ivvery day in the wake!"
"Well, that's her concern, not mine," said the other; "I'm not saying as it's just right; you needn't do as she does but you're not bound to pay all up at once, you might hold back a little each now and then, and you'd have summat to spare for your poor old mother." "But I've promised fayther, and he trusts me."
I've been a hard husband, and fayther too, for years, but I must be different now; and I'll try and do my duty by you all, and folks may just say what they please." Alice did not reply a word; her passion had cooled, and she sat rocking herself backwards and forwards, with her apron to her eyes, sobbing bitterly.
"Mebbe I spoke a mite too free about your fayther, Austen," he said; "you and him seem kind of different." "The Judge and I understand each other," answered Austen. He had got as far as the door, when he stopped, swung on his heel, and came back to the bedside. "It's my duty to tell you, Zeb, that in order to hush this thing up they may offer you more than you can get from a jury.
I could wander about from place to place, and have plenty of fresh air, and my liberty too. So I paid a chap to teach me the trade, and set myself up with my cart and all complete. But after a bit, my fayther and mother died; and I felt there were one thing as I were short on, and that were a wife. My brothers and sisters had all gotten married; so I wanted a home.
I'm no fonder nor you of the teetottallers, but childer will not be driven. Come, Sammul come, Betty, you mustn't be obstinate; you know fayther means what he says." "Ay that I do," said her husband.
