The unrestrained sobbings of the mother now aroused her for the first time, and on looking up, she saw her father wiping away the big tears from his eyes. "Una, avourneen," said the worthy man, "let John make tay for us for, God help you, you can't do it. Don't fret, achora machree, don't, don't, Una; as God is over me, I'd give all I'm worth to save him, for your sake."
Something in the last sentence must have touched a chord in Una's heart, for the tears, without showing any other' external signs of emotion, streamed down her cheeks. "My advice, then, to you an' oh, avick machree, machree, it is my last, the last you will ever hear from my lips " "Oh, mother, mother!" exclaimed Connor, but he could not proceed voice waa denied him, Una here sobbed aloud.
Oh! gradh machree, Mavourneen, Won't you buy our heath-broom? Before he had finished a tinker arrived, too drunk to stand or walk, but leading a tall horse with his left hand, and inviting anyone who would deny that he was the best horseman in Wicklow to fight with him on the spot. Soon afterwards I started on my way home, driving most of the way with a farmer from the same neighbourhood.
Ora pro nobis, Monk Mulligan groaned, sinking to a chair. There he keened a wailing rune. Pogue mahone! Acushla machree! It's destroyed we are from this day! It's destroyed we are surely! All smiled their smiles.
Another reason why he still loved her strongly, was a consciousness that her death had been occasioned by distress and misery; for, as he said, when looking upon the scenes of her brief but melancholy existence "Avour-neen machree, I remimber to see you pickin' the berries; but asthore asthore it wasn't for play you did it. It was to keep away the cuttin' of hunger from your heart!
"Fardorougha dear, Fardorougha asthore machree, won't you be guided by me? You're now on your death bed, an' think of God's marcy it's that you stand most in need of. Sure, ayourneen, if you had all the money you ever had, you couldn't bring a penny of it where you're goin'." "Well, but I'm givin' Connor advice that'll sarve him.
"Now," proceeded the dying woman, "come to me, you Kathleen, my daughter sure you're the daughter of my heart, as it is. Kneel down and stay with me awhile. Why does my heart warm to you as it never did to any one out o' my own family? Why do I love you as if you were my own child? Because I hope you will be so. Kiss me, asthore machree." Kathleen kissed her, and for a few moments Mrs.
"Well," said he to his wife, who was a woman of few words but deep feeling; "Kathleen, will you see that we get a glass of punch the boys and I; there can be no harm surely in drinking a ; but it's time enough to drink it when we see the liquor before us. Mary, avourneen, as you are activer than your mother, will you undertake that duty? do, avillish machree."
Come now, I'll have no put offs you must come, I say I ordher you I can't and won't meet her wid out you. Come, avick, an' you can sing mi the song goin' home come wid your owi poor ould father, that can't live widout you come, a sullish machree, I don't feel right here we won't be properly happy till we go to your lovin' mother." "Father, father, you don't know what you're making me suffer!
"It does, achora machree," replied her father, whose eyes expressed a kind of melancholy pride, as he contemplated his beautiful but sorrowful looking girl, giving utterance to truths which added an impressive and elevated character to her beauty.
