"Thank you kindly for what you say; but you've not got hold of my meaning. What I'm driving at is this: I don't want people to put me in a `mag, mag's short for `magazine, one of them monthly or weekly papers as is full of pictures, and serves as town-crier to all the good deeds as is being done."
Faith looked at him quickly and could see a sneer on his face. It was plain that he had no special respect for saintliness. When she reached her department she found every one talking excitedly, and, of course, Miss Brady's arrest was the topic of conversation. "Here she comes! here comes Mag's rival!" cried Miss Jones, when she saw Faith coming.
Young Mag's come home!" "Deh hell yeh say?" Through the open door curious eyes stared in at Maggie. Children ventured into the room and ogled her, as if they formed the front row at a theatre. Women, without, bended toward each other and whispered, nodding their heads with airs of profound philosophy.
She thought all women were like the matron who came with a visitor up to the bare room, where we played without toys the new, dirty, newly-bruised ones of us, and the old, clean, healing ones of us and said, 'Here, chicks, is a lady who's come to see you. Tell her how happy you are here. Then Mag's freckled little face, her finger in her mouth, looked up like this.
And magpie did pull, as hard as ever he could pull, and fluttered and flew, but he could not get his tail-feather away, so had to leave it behind with Boxer, who quietly sat down on the grass and began to gnaw and tear the beautiful glossy green plume, until he had completely spoiled it, when he threw it away, and began to look out for some more fun; whilst poor Mag's tail was so sore, that he went home grumbling and half-crying at his misfortune.
Had Margaret Newall moved in a more elevated social sphere, and been surrounded by wealthy parents and rich relatives, possibly Governor Carleton would have been obliged to give Mrs. Godfrey a vivid description of Mag's trousseau, and her beautiful presents of gold, silver, diamonds, etc. But her parents and friends were poor.
"Maggie's stood up fer you in a way you didn't more'n half desarve, and it's partly Maggie's money that brought you here. You know well enough what a a lie, if I must say it, you told me about Mag's havin' a beau at Larne, and she says she didn't. You're the one that took away your sister's " But here he paused. "Hush up, Andy!" broke in Margaret.
Was this joy, relief, rage or fury that, surging upon him, was robbing him of his senses! The Pippin! How could it be the Pippin! The cloak with its hood, and the long, gray matted wig were very like Silver Mag's very like Silver Mag's! The Pippin! The Pippin! one-time actor who had murdered old Melinoff, the old-clothes dealer! No he was not mad!
Peter Greene boards me cheap. I'll help you, if nobody else will." A tear stood in Mag's faded eye. "I'm glad," she said, with a softer tone than before, "if there is ONE who isn't glad to see me suffer. I b'lieve all Singleton wants to see me punished, and feel as if they could tell when I've been punished long enough. It's a long day ahead they'll set it, I reckon."
Jim acknowledged the pres- ence of the former, and his efforts in Mag's behalf told also of a finer principle. This sudden expedient which he had uninten- tionally disclosed, roused his thinking and invent- ive powers to study upon the best method of introducing the subject to Mag.
