A sailor's wife she was, and there was a child born to her while her husband was away at sea. She thought he'ld be home soon, and so she wanted to put off the christening of the child till he'ld be back. So she waited and waited for a long time, and her husband did not come.
O'Brien," Terence said. "Who cares what they do? It's what men do that counts. I'll tell you a story now." So Mrs. O'Brien and Kathleen listened to Terence's story. "There was three men," Terence began, "that lived near together, and their names was Hudden and Dudden and Donald. Each one of them had an ox that he'ld be ploughing with. Donald was a cleverer man than the others and he got on better.
It's tired of life I am, lying here without it." ""Ah," says I, "wait till my mother gets home and I'll tell her of this." ""Tell her," says he, "and she'll not believe a word from you." "'And no more do I believe a word from you, says the woman. "Well, soon after that there came a letter from the father, saying that he'ld be at home now in a few days.
O'Brien who had dropped him once. To this John replied: "Then maybe he'ld be making you less trouble, Ellen, if you was to drop him yourself once or twice." But Mrs. O'Brien said that it was just because he knew what she would do to him if she had the chance. And there was another strange thing about Terence. As he grew a little older, he never could be got inside a church.
Sometimes he'ld come back wid the wine and oftener he'ld come back widout it, but every time he'ld say: 'Mr. MacCarthy, sir, it's much obliged to you I am for all your kindness, but I'll have to be lavin' your service to-morrow. And nobody could see the why of it.
I don't know what would happen any of the Good People if he was to be rightly christened. I think he'ld not be able to stand it and would be driven out, so that they'ld have to send back the real child. Now, if a priest ever sees that creature that we've just seen, and asks: 'Has this child been christened? they'll have to answer 'Yes, and he cannot be christened again.
So the other two put their heads together to think what would they do to hurt Donald and to ruin him entirely, so that he'ld have to give up his farm and they could get it cheap. Well, after a while they thought that if they could kill his ox he couldn't plough his land, and then he'ld lose the use of it and he'ld have to give it up. So one night they went and killed Donald's ox.
"Then it was not strange," said the King. "Any way, strange or not strange," Naggeneen went on, "it was the truth. Never a butler could he keep in his service. A new butler would come and he'ld think he was a made man, old MacCarthy was that well known and that well liked all over the counthry. He'ld wait once at dinner and then down he'ld go to the cellar for wine.
And he did it in a way that wouldn't disturb them. But the other did it only to help himself, because he thought that he'ld get a great reward for it, and he had no real wish to do them any kindness. Don't you see the difference between the two of them?" "Stuff!" said Terence. This is to be another sort of chapter altogether. I am going to tell you now what happened.
It was all well enough wid the rest cooks, maids, hostlers, stable boys but the first time ever a new butler went into that beautiful wine cellar for wine, back he'ld come in a hurry and say that he'ld lave his place the next day, and nothing on earth would keep him in it. Now, wasn't that strange?" "Did you say you lived in that cellar?" the King asked. "The most of the time," said Naggeneen.
