Pike, of Tiverton, was as powerful a loadstone to attract the parson, as his marrying of Betty Larkey had been to Lady Tynte. From hence he went to parson White’s, at Cocker, where he found Justice Proctor: here he passed for an unfortunate sailor, who had been cast away coming from the Baltic, and was now travelling to his native place, Tintagel, in Cornwall.
Jerry began crying again, but softly this time, because he knew Mother 'Larkey wouldn't let him go if she could help it. She kissed him and turned to Mr. Phillips. "Mr. Darner told me I'd sooner or later have to let some of my own children go there or be adopted out, if I didn't consent to Jerry's going. I'm at the end of my string." "I see," observed Mr. Phillips gently.
They knew at once that he hadn't succeeded in getting a "ticket to paradise", as Mother 'Larkey had called their circus passes, nevertheless Chris asked: "Did you get a ticket?" "No," replied Danny, sitting down dejectedly. After a while they knew he didn't intend to say any more. Jerry waited as long as he could and then asked in turn: "Didn't the el'funts want any water for dinner?"
"Mebbe I wouldn't never have seen Whiteface Father," he said to Mother 'Larkey, "if Danny hadn't gone into the circus." "That is true," Whiteface corroborated. "I found him crying outside the tent and told him he could speak to me inside if he recognized me. He did recognize me and that was undoubtedly one of the things that led to the discovery of his identity." "Danny likes me," Jerry added.
When he came to the governor’s and inquired for him, he was told he was walking in the garden; while he was waiting for his coming out, in came the proprietor and his brother; and, going into the garden, they represented his case to the governor, who, coming in, inquired where he was born, &c.; he told him, as he had before done the proprietor, and added, that he had married Betty Larkey, parson Griffy’s maid, of Wales, and that the parson had a son at Bishop’s Nympton, in Devon: the governor replied he knew the parson very well, and likewise Betty Larkey; and after he had asked him some questions about them, which Mr.
Jerry was awfully glad that he had found his parents and that he was going with them and was much excited at the thought of traveling with the circus for three whole weeks and getting real well acquainted with Great Sult Anna O'Queen, but his throat grew all lumpy at the thought of leaving kindly Mother 'Larkey, loving Kathleen and gentle Nora and Chris and yes, and Danny and Celia Jane, too.
"He said you'd get it away from me if you knew I had found it and for me to go to the circus all by myself." "And you gave that up just for Kathleen?" queried Mrs. Mullarkey. "I guess Kathleen's cough is much more important than any old circus," said Jerry. Mother 'Larkey thereupon gathered Jerry up in her arms and kissed him.
Celia Jane cried, tears running down her cheeks. She flung both arms around Jerry's neck and squeezed him passionately. "What will Kathleen do without Jerry?" asked Nora in a choked voice. Jerry looked up and saw that she was quietly weeping, too. They believed it! Believed that Mother 'Larkey would let them take him away!
But he also knew that Mother 'Larkey found it very hard to make both ends meet since her husband died he had often heard her say so but there might be a possible chance that she would have several fifty-cent pieces, so he started again to run after the other children, keeping close enough to be in time if Mrs.
"You hadn't mentioned them before," said Whiteface, "but they'll see it, too. Are there any more in the Mullarkey family?" "No," answered Jerry, "just Danny and Chris and Nora and Celia Jane and Kathleen and Mother 'Larkey."
