The other young women all busied themselves in cutting up and washing the vegetables. In order to divert the impatience of those who were waiting to see the fishes taken alive and wriggling from their prison, the beautiful Iday got out the harp, for Iday not only played well on that instrument, but, besides, she had very pretty fingers.
Becos A've got four more idays that ye could help me with. Wan iday is about divils. A take this fur a foundation: There's sins fur till be done in the wurrld that men 'on't do; an' divils is marcifully put in the flesh an' blood fur till do them sins. 'He went to his own place, says Acts both manin' Judas. An' there's a wheen o' places where Iago spakes iv himself as a divil.
"Ay, work!" says Art, very determined; "it would amaze you or any one that didn't know, the way the children grow up and get sense at Ardenoo! the way if the old people seemed wishful for us to stop at home with them, this little fellah of ours would soon ... but whisht!" before poor Delia had time to say a word one way or other about this iday, "whisht! what's this at all! A telegram! for me!"
"In my house there is always enough to eat. And, besides I would like to have you and Father Dámaso understand each other." "There'll be time enough for that," replied Ibarra, putting on a forced smile and making ready to accompany the young ladies. They went downstairs. Maria Clara was walking between Victoria and Iday, while Aunt Isabel followed behind.
"Willingly," agreed Ibarra, "especially as I have something to say this very minute to those young people in that group over there." He arose with the agreement that his opponent should have a quarter of an hour. Iday had the round card on which were written the forty-eight questions, while Albino held the book of answers. "A lie! It's not so!" cried Sinang, half in tears.
"I say, Dick," hiccupped the first speaker, who now began to wax drunk, "what is your op op opinion should, we do to ould Whelan? "I'm not the man to disagree wid a rasonable iday," ironically answered Dick.
The day was advancing; a breeze was blowing; little waves were stirred up on the water, and rippled around the alligator. The music began again. Iday was playing the harp, while the young men were playing the accordeons and guitars with more or less skill. But the one who played best was Albino. The other weir was visited with an entire lack of confidence.
In the house of Capitan Basilio, he and Don Filipo for the misfortunes of the latter had made them friendly were standing by a window-grating and talking, while at another were Sinang, her cousin Victoria, and the beautiful Iday, looking toward the street. The waning moon began to shine over the horizon, illumining the clouds and making the trees and houses east long, fantastic shadows.
When no one any longer approached, from the shadows would issue sadder but less pitiful sounds, cries of gratitude perhaps. Then he would take up the basket and make his way to another place to repeat the same performance. Maria Clara divined that there must be some misfortune there, and full of interest she asked concerning the strange creature. "He's a leper," Iday told her.
They were silent for a short time, then tried to talk in low tones, but soon forgot themselves and again filled the street with their fresh young voices. "Behave as if you were displeased and don't talk to him," Sinang was advising Maria Clara. "Scold him so he won't get into bad habits." "Don't be so exacting," objected Iday. "Be exacting! Don't be foolish!
