A onelegged sailor crutched himself round MacConnell's corner, skirting Rabaiotti's icecream car, and jerked himself up Eccles street. Towards Larry O'Rourke, in shirtsleeves in his doorway, he growled unamiably: For England... He swung himself violently forward past Katey and Boody Dedalus, halted and growled: home and beauty.
I had the design too of getting you to help me in the main object of my life. Come, don't be a fool. I want you. 'I can't leave Katey, said the weaver, hesitatingly. 'Miss St. John is there still. I will ask her to stop till you come back. Without waiting for an answer, he ran up the stairs, and had speedily arranged with Miss St. John.
Peasoup, Maggy said. Where did you get it? Katey asked. Sister Mary Patrick, Maggy said. The lacquey rang his bell. Barang! Boody sat down at the table and said hungrily: Give us it here. Maggy poured yellow thick soup from the kettle into a bowl. Katey, sitting opposite Boody, said quietly, as her fingertip lifted to her mouth random crumbs: A good job we have that much. Where's Dilly?
"But look! only look at the white horses out yonder far out beyond the steamer. Davy's putting on the coppers for the parson, eh?" She caught the grave expression of Philip's face, and drew herself up with pretended severity, saying, "Be quiet, Katey. Behave yourself. Philip wants to talk to you seriously very seriously."
Philip took up the call. "Kate!" he shouted, and back came the answer, Ate! "Kate y!" Ate y. "Ah! how quick! Katey's a good girl. Hark how she answers you," said Kate. They walked a few steps, and Kate called again, "Philip!" There was no answer. "Philip is stubborn; he won't have anything to do with me," said Kate. Then Philip called a second time, "Katey!" And back came the echo as before.
"And here's a new frock for you, Katey," old Ann went on, after making John happy with his treasures, "a real bright one, and a pair of shoes, and some real woollen stockings; oh! how warm you'll be!" "Oh, how nice, Mammy!" cried Katey, jumping about. "When will you make my frock?" "To-morrow," answered the mother, "and you can go to school again." "Oh, goody!" she began, but her face fell.
"Sunk!" said Philip, laughing and clapping his hands. "You're doomed to be an old maid, Kate. Phonodoree says so." "Cruel Brownie! I'm vexed that I bothered with him," said Kate, dropping her lip. Then nodding to her reflection in the water where the willow bough had disappeared, she said, "Poor little Katey! He might have given you something else. Anything but that dear, eh?"

When he spoke again, there was a touch of tenderness in his respect. 'Will you go and see my poor Katey, sir? 'Would she like to see me? 'It does her good to see you. I never let that fellow go near her.
They shall be warm and full for once in their lives, please God! And, Katey," she went on breathlessly, before the old man had sufficiently recovered from his astonishment to speak, "go right upstairs now, and invite every one of 'em from the fathers down to Mrs.
M'Guinness's. Boody stamped her foot and threw her satchel on the table. Bad cess to her big face! she cried. Katey went to the range and peered with squinting eyes. What's in the pot? she asked. Shirts, Maggy said. Boody cried angrily: Crickey, is there nothing for us to eat? Katey, lifting the kettlelid in a pad of her stained skirt, asked: And what's in this? A heavy fume gushed in answer.
