He calls it 'Th' Thruce iv th' Bear. This is th' way it happened: Roodyard Kipling had just finished his mornin' batch iv pothry f'r th' home-thrade, an' had et his dinner, an' was thinkin' iv r-runnin' out in th' counthry f'r a breath iv fr-resh air, whin in come a tillygram sayin' that th' Czar iv Rooshia had sint out a circular letther sayin' ivrybody in th' wurruld ought to get together an' stop makin' war an' live a quite an' dull life.
"Anty, here's a letter for ye," began the widow. "Terry's brought it down from the house, and says it's from Misther Barry. I b'lieve he was in the right not to bring it hisself." "A letther for me, Mrs Kelly? what can he be writing about? I don't just know whether I ought to open it or no;" and Anty trembled, as she turned the epistle over and over again in her hands.
"An answer," replied the girl, seeing that everything must be and was above board "an answer to the letther he sent her." "Did he send you a letther?" asked her father, seriously; "an' you never let us know a word about it? did he send you a letther?" Kathleen paused a moment and seemed to consult Hanna's looks, who had now joined them.
"Phelim," said he, when they had got out, "would you like to airn a crown?" "Tell me how, Art?" said Phelim. "A letther from, the Square to the jailer of M jail. If you bring back an answer, you'll get a crown, your dinner, an' a quart o' strong beer." "But why don't you bring it yourself, Art?" "Why I'm afeard. Sure they'd keep ma in jail, I'm tould, if they'd catch me in it. Aha!
"I do, and I did," replied Bryan; "but at that time I had never spoken upon the subject of love or marriage to Kathleen Cavanagh, and I had no authority nor right to take any one to task on her account, but, at the same time, I couldn't even then either like or respect, much less lend money to, any man that could humbug her, or treat such a girl with disrespect and in that letther you can't deny that you did both."
The group got their heads together and looked with serious faces at the cup. "There's a ship comin' across th' sea an' I see a letther!" "It's for me, I'll bate," Jamie said. "No, dear, it's fur me." "Take it," Jamie said, "it's maybe a dispossess from oul Savage th' landlord!" She took Jamie's cup. "There's a wee bit of a garden wi' a fence aroun' it."
"Now, there's for yez! as lovely a letther as ever you seen, all the way from London, with a little picthur of an agle on the back o' it! 'Tis for Biddy Joyce, and maybe ye'll take it, Dermot, seeing your legs is younger than mine?" Dermot was off already, climbing the mountain slopes in hot haste. Biddy Joyce stood watching him from the door where Eily and he had parted months before.
"I don't know how it is, Nick, but somehow or other I cannot divest myself of sartain lurkin suspicions which I have of that man; although there is not a single Irish Nationalist in the city that would not offer him his hand and a glass afther seein the letther that I saw.
Poll, however, declined to notice the recognition, but renewed the discourse "Why, Darby, how did the lump come into your stomach? Faith, in these hard times, there's many a poor divel would be glad to have such a complaint eh?" "And, is it possible you didn't hear it?" he asked with surprise, "howandever, you shall. I was carrying a letther from Mr.
"I'll hould a wager," she replied, "that that's the very letther I seen him openin' through the key hole doar this mornin'. Do you know who it's to?" she inquired. "Oh, the sorra know; he said it was a love-letther, and that he did not wish to be seen puttin' it in himself." "Wait," said she, "give it to me here for a minute; here's Father M'Gowan comin' up, and I'll ax him who it's directed to."
