"Just since the day ye fell, ma'am, and I was that upset that I was scarce in me right moind, and indade, it's hersilf has saved us from robbery and mebbe murther this night wid her barkin'." Giftie, tired of sitting up without reward or encouragement, had trotted quietly out of the room. She now came back waddling with importance, a pup in her mouth.
"The shop where I bought the lilac and silver stole, wasn't it?" "Yes, ma'am it was. And indade, if ye'll not mind my sayin' so, I begged ye not to go in there, the place looked so disrespectable, as if there might be measles or 'most anything, and the man himself come poppin' out to entice ye in, like the spider with the fly."
The distance was by no means great, and Michael seemed to know the way perfectly. At least he answered, "Yes'm, indade," to several inquiries from his passenger, and she was compelled to be satisfied with that. "What a big house it is!
"Did you see the paper that he showed her before he fastened it up with the others, Kitty?" "I did see it, indade, Mr. Gridley, and it's the truth I'm tellin' ye." "Did you happen to notice anything about it, Kitty?" "I did, indade, Mr. Gridley.
Giving the visitor no opportunity to speak, Riley placed his hand gently upon his arm, and addressed him beseechingly. "Jimmie, me la-ad," the old man said, "is it raly yersel' come ter see ye'er ol' fa-ather? I can't belave it, indade I can't; but 'tain't this we must be talkin' about now. I know it's th' great man ye are, but ye wuddent queer ye'er fa-ather by comin' ter th' front dure, wud ye?
It's the way I behave though." "So my wishes count for nothing?" The old lady looked so hurt as well as so angry that Peg softened and hastened to try and make it up with her aunt: "Sure yer wishes DO count with me, aunt. Indade they do." "Don't say INDADE. There is no such word. Indeed!" corrected Mrs. Chichester. "I beg your pardon, aunt. INDEED they do."
"Go ahead, Bob," his father urged. "Tell your story, and first of all let Sergeant Riley feel the bump on your head. That'll convince him." "It would indade," exclaimed the sergeant, after examining the swelling on Bob's head. "Not that I'd ever doubt anything a son of yours told me, Misther Cook." Bob related the events of that day to Sergeant Riley.
Martell then questioned his coachman somewhat. "Indade, sir, we was all putty nigh crazy when Mr. Harcourt druv in late last night and said you were safe. He told me to come-over this morning and get your orders, and to have the house ready for yez." "Now that was considerate. I feel, my daughter, that we owe Mr. Harcourt an apology. Do you feel equal to entertaining him at supper?"
"Bad luck to the likes of it, indade!" and she caught at a small dining-table just in time to set it upon its legs again. "I don't wonder Biddy complains, mother; it's enough to weary the patience of Job, riding so slowly over these dismal prairies; it would really do my eyes good to get sight of a hill, or any thing to break this continual sameness.
"I know I am, Eliza, but you're just the same as ever; and just look at the kitten I have brought! Have you any here now?" "Cats, is it? Indade we have, then! I'm thinkin' there do be a hundred dozen of thim; they're undher me feet continual! But what kind of a baste is thot ye have there? I niver saw such a woolly one!" "This is a Persian kitten, Eliza, and her name is Puff. Isn't she pretty?"
