You see I had no time nor thought but for poor Lance, and Alda was so new to it. 'Ah, Missie dear, you were always the one to vindicate her, but 'tis no use! Newness! 'Twasn't newness that makes her turn the back of her hand to this darling innocent, till he cries if he's left a moment with her. Ay, my precious, what would have become of you and me but for Masther Clem?
You are now immediately opposite the door of the seminary, when half a dozen of those seated next it notice you. "Oh, sir, here's a gintleman on a horse! masther, sir, here's a-gintleman on a horse, wid boots and spurs on him, that's looking in at us."
Several nights after this, our slumbers were disturbed, about midnight, by an awful yell, and old Jenny shook violently at our chamber door. "Masther, masther, dear! Get up wid you this moment, or the bear will desthroy the cattle intirely." Half asleep, Moodie sprang from his bed, seized his gun, and ran out. I threw my large cloak round me, struck a light, and followed him to the door.
They would cross themselves, and murmur a prayer for the "masther," heretic though he was, and they knew they would get him out of Purgatory, if masses and penances would avail. As for Nannie and her mother, it was dangerous to say a word against their benefactor in their presence. Nobody had ever dared the thing excepting Mrs.
"And, did she tell you, Biddy, that her own brother had trated her that way?" "Wait, Mrs Kelly, ma'am, till I tell yer how it all happened. When she comed to herself and she warn't long coming round she didn't say much, nor did I; for I didn't just like then to be saying much agin the masther, for who could know where his ears were? perish his sowl, the blackguard!" "Don't be cursing, Biddy."
'But there's no need to threaten, sure, you know, Masther Richard, I'd do anything for you I would. I'd beg, or I'd rob, or I'd die for you, Masther Richard; and whatever you bid me, your poor wild Nan 'ill do. Devereux was touched, the tears were streaming down her pale cheeks, and she was shivering. 'You're cold, Nan; where's your cloak and riding hood? he said, gently.
"'Let him go, says Hurrish, 'you have no right to bid me to go, when he has a coat upon him: you promised to ax one for me from Masther Francis, and you didn't do it; so the divil a toe I'll budge to-day, says he, getting betune the father and the door.
But oh, Masther Robert, I a'most forgot to tell ye, account of that spalpeen that thought to hindher yer own fosther-brother from comin' to see ye; but there's the most wondherful baste out in the say this minit; an' it's spoutin' up water like the fountain that used to be at Dunore, only a power bigger; an' lyin' a-top of the waves like an island, for all the world!
"Isn't it m'own house I'm in, Molly?" said he, "and what business have you t' be taking in lodgers, and me the masther here!" and with that he made a dive at the gentleman, who arose and stepped quietly aside. "Oh! Jim," said the woman, "'tis a kind friend who is afther helping us, when I could sell nothing the day." "Who talks of help?
"Ay, has there a very daicent respectable man has it, by name one Darby Skinadre. "At any rate there's no harm in tryin' worse than fail we can't, an' if we succeed it'll be good to come in for anything from the ould scoundrel, before the devil gets him." Jemmy gave him a look. "Why, what have you to say against the ould boy? Sure it's not casting reflections on your own masther you'd be."
