"We don't need so many stools aanyway," Jamie said. "I'll get a hatchet an' we'll haave a fire in no time." "T' be freezin' t' death wi a bogman goin' t' waste is unchristian, t' say th' laste," Billy ventured. "Every time we get to th' end of th' tether God appears!" Anna said reassuringly, as she pinned her shawl closer around her neck.
The little wasted thing lay in its undressed pine coffin on the table and the neighbors came in and had a look. Custom said it should be kept the allotted time and the tyrant was obeyed. A dozen of those to whom a wake was a means of change and recreation came late and planted themselves for the night. "Ye didn't haave a hard time wi' th' second, did ye, Anna?" asked Mrs. Mulholland.
"But as I was a-sayin' bhoy, I haaven't had a rale good laugh since she died; haave I, Mary?" "I haaven't naither," Mary said. "Aye, but ye've had double throuble, dear." "We never let trouble rob us of laughter when I was here." "Because whin ye wor here she was here too. In thim days whin throuble came she'd tear it t' pieces an' make fun ov aych piece, begorra.
Let's haave a good cup o' tay an' say no more about it!" The more texts I knew the more fanatical I became. And the more of a fanatic I was the wider grew the chasm that divided me from my mother. I talked as if I knew "every saint in heaven and every divil in hell." She was more than patient with me, though my spiritual conceit must have given her many a pang.
"Aye," I said, "I had just been appointed missionary to a place called the Bowery, in New York, and I wrote her that I was no longer her plowman, but her fisher of men." "Och, maan, if ye cud haave heard her laugh over th' different kinds ov fishes ye wor catchin'! Iv'ry day for weeks she read it an' laughed an' cried over it.
"Wud he let other people milk his cows?" asked the man, sneeringly. "He mightn't haave cows t' milk," Jamie said. "But he'd be kind and not a glutton!" They arrived at the house. The man went in first. He stopped near the door and Jamie instinctively and in fear shot past him. What he saw dazed him. "Ah, God!" he exclaimed. "She's dead!"
"We'll haave a blessin' by a rale ministher th' night," Mary said. "Oh, yis, that's thrue enough," my father said, "but Alec minds th' time whin it was blessin' enough to hev th' murphies don't ye, boy?" After "tay" I tacked a newspaper over the lower part of the window my father lit the candle and Mary put a few turfs on the fire and we sat as we used to sit so many years ago.
"Not all th' world, by a spoonful, but a wheen of thim like Sandy Somerville, who's got a signboard in front of his back that tells he ates too much while the rest of us haave backbones that could as aisily be felt before as behine!" "So that's what you call an undisputed text?"
Scatther them, says He, 'be th' roadsides an' th' wild places of th' earth where my poor live. "'Aye, says the charioteer, 'that's jist like ye, Father. It's th' purtiest job of m' afther-life an' I'll do it finely. "'It's jist come t' Me in a dream, says th' Father, 'that th' rich have all the flowers down there and th' poor haave nown at all.
It was a new atmosphere to him, but he bungled through it. The more unintelligible his jabbering, the more assured were the recipients of his power to bless. One of the boys who stoned him was brought by his father to ask forgiveness. "God save ye kindly," Hughie said to him. "Th' woonds ye made haave been turned into blessin's galore!" He came in despised. He went out a saint.
