Do you fancy I have been growing up in Maam all the years you were away among canteens for you to come home and insult me when you wished?" He did not quail before her indignation, but he drew back with respect in every movement. "Madame," he said, with a touch of the ballroom, "you may miscall me as you will; I deserve it all.
The Paymaster answered shortly. "It's the pair from Maam," said he, and back to his paper again. Up to his brow the Cornal put a trembling hand and seemed amazed and startled. Then he recollected, and a sad smile came to his visage. "Not a clod altogether yet!" said he, half to himself and half to his brother. "I felt the flutter of a wing.
I'll warrant you do not know anything of that, but it's the clavers of the Crosswell." She hurried on, glad to get upon a topic even so little away from what had vexed her darling. "Old Islay has his schemes, they say, to get Maam tacked on to his own tenancy of Drimlee and his son out of the army, and the biggest gentleman farmer in the shire.
"I'm sure, maam," she pleaded, "if she wont mind you, she wont mind me bad manners to her!" Mrs. Myers hesitated. The lodger became noisier. "I spose Ive got to go," said Mrs. Myers, plaintively. She went upstairs and found Susanna lying on the sofa, groaning, with a dressing-gown and a pair of thick boots on. "What is the matter with you, Miss Susan? Youre goin on fit to raise the street."
Referring to the Silurian system in Western Ireland, Sir R. Murchison says, "in the beds near Maam, Professor Nicol and myself collected remains, some of which would be considered Lower, and others Upper, Silurian;" and he then names sundry fossils which, in England, belong to the summit of the Ludlow rocks, or highest Silurian strata; "some, which elsewhere are known only in rocks of Llandovery age" that is, of middle Silurian age; and some, only before known in Lower Silurian strata, not far above the most ancient fossiliferous beds.
As he stood to his feet to follow the Paymaster she ventured a hand from behind upon his waist, pretending to hasten the departure, but in reality to get some pleasure from the touch. Again he never heeded; he was staring at the Maam pew, from which the General and his brother were slowly moving out. There was no girl there! He could scarcely trust his eyes.
She turned out her scanty store of money fifteen and sixpence was the whole amount. Not for herself would she have done this, for she trembled at the thought of meeting him, but circumstances made it imperative. "Please maam, is baby to go for her walk this morning," asked the nurse as Louis and Natalie sat at breakfast, "Oh no Sarah," returned Natalie.
"Next week the berries might be as numerous as that at the very door of Maam," said she, "and I none the better for them." "What's the matter?" he cried, appalled at the omen of her face. "My father is going abroad at once," she answered. "Abroad?" he repeated. He had a branch of bramble in his hand, plucked for the crimson of its leafage.
"We are better pleased, and you will speed the quicker to take us for what we seem. What matters of us is as it is with men too plain enough on the surface. Dear, dear! what nonsense to be on! You are far too much of the mist and mountain for me. As if I had not plenty of them up in Maam! Oh! I grow sick of them!"
About the same hour, and sometimes even at midnight, you hear two species of maam, or tinamou, send forth their long and plaintive whistle from the depth of the forest. The flesh of both is delicious. The largest is plumper, and almost equals in size the blackcock of Northumberland. The quail is said to be here, though rare.
