"And you with me, Aunt Win," said Dan, who, seated on the footstool of the chair, was smoothing her wrinkled hand. "Ah, no, my lad, I don't ask that! I'm not asking that at all, Danny. I'll not be houlding to ye, and dragging ye down while ye're climbing. And whisper, lad, while there's no one listening: it's naither wise nor best for ye to be coming here."
That's you that's smart at your figguring and ciphering, spake out now that's four thousand maise isn't it?" No houlding you at all when it's money that's in. Four thousand maise ready and waiting for the steamers to England but did we land it? No, nor half of it neither.
She's waitin' for me me little Maggie's houlding out her little hand to me she's waitin' for me beyand, Holy Mary be praised! An' she's waited long enough, sorr, my little Maggie as I loved so while the harsh words burned upon me tongue my little Maggie! I was bitter cruel to my little girl, but you've been kind to me, and, sorr, I thank ye.
Bittending this and bittending that it's mortal amusing they are. You'd be getting up from your books, tired shocking, and ready for a bit of fun, and going to the stair-head and shouting down, 'Where's my lil woman? Then up she'd be coming, step by step, houlding on to the bannisters, dot and carry one. And my gracious, the dust there'd be here in the study!
To think that a year ago you were just a gossoon, and here ye are a colonel a Portuguese colonel, I grant, but still a colonel fighting Soult, and houlding defiles, and making night attacks, and thrashing the French cavalry, and carrying off a nun from a convent, and outwitting a bishop, and playing all Sorts of divarsions. It bates me entirely.
"The next morning, Jack was out with a bridle in his hand, going to catch the filly. As soon as he got into the domain, sure enough, there she was in the middle of a green field, grazing quite at her ase. When Jack saw this he went over towards her, houlding out his hat as if it was full of oats; but he kept the hand that had the bridle in it behind his back, for fraid she'd see it and make off.
"Now I had been well trained to fishing in my more youthful days; and no gorsoon could grope a trout wid me. I accordingly sent the spoon through the pond before me wid the skill of a connoisseur; but to no purpose it came up wid nothin' but the whey. "So, said I off hand to the gintleman, houlding up the bowl, and looking at it with a disappointed face, 'Apparent rari nantes in gurgite vasto.
"Lave me alone for that," said the voice of the barber. "Manx-land for the Manx-man that's the text I'm houlding to. But what's it saying, 'Custom must be indulged with custom, or custom will die? And with these English scouring over it like puffins on the Calf, it isn't much that's left of the ould island but the name. The best of the Manx boys are going away foreign, same as these ones."
The ould kipper-box rolling on a block for a boat at sea do you mind it? Yourself houlding a bit of a broken broomstick in the rope handle for a mast, and me working the potato-dibber on the ground, first port and then starboard, for rudder and wind and oar and tide. 'Mortal dirty weather this, cap'n? 'Aw, yes, woman, big sea extraordinary' d'ye mind it, Kirry!"
He tooke me about the wrest, where he found himselfe downe before he was awarre, houlding him upon the ground till some came and putt us asunder. My company seeing mee free, began to cry out, giving me watter to wash me, and then fresh fish to relish me. They encouraged me so much, the one combing my head, the other greasing my haire. There we stayed 2 dayes, where no body durst trouble me.
