We had been too well brought up to think of working in the fields, as the Healys and others of the neighbours did; and the day was long longer to Stephen than to me. I used to read and sing to him and the babies; and if we got through the day without his straying off to Healy's or some of the neighbours, I was happy.
The Healys and Sextons and all of that ilk know that while under an Irish Parliament their country would be ruined, yet that they themselves would pick up something in the general confusion, while Dillon, like Mrs. Gargery, could be ever on the rampage, carrying out his promises of dire revenge, and flourishing like a young bay tree. Nobody here rejoiced when the bill was reported amended.
They were kind folks enough, and I don't think the man began by wishing to do my Stephen harm. He could drink and stop when he wanted to at least, so he said; but Stephen couldn't, and I was never sure of him after the Healys came. "They came in the fall and a dreary winter followed their coming; but when spring opened things began to mend with us.
