Well, now, I've been and learned what ye wanted so much; and first cooms the praste and makes a big fuss, and then you, mother, spake as if I had thried to anger in the room o' plasing ye. I'm sure I've thried to plase you all I could." "So ye have, mavourneen; so ye have," said Biddy, her voice softening as she turned to look at the chicken and other things that Annorah had brought.
The last two words were whispered so loud that Phelim heard them, and he said, "I've seen her to-night, mother." "Who? Spake aisy, mavourneen." "Our Norah." "When?" questioned his mother, with an anxious glance at the unheeding revellers. "Afther dusk. I thought ye would like her to kape away to-night."
Every good American should take an interest in politics; and Kenneth, especially, who has such large landed interests, ought to direct the political affairs of his district." "I'm much interested in politics, too, Uncle," declared the girl. "If I were a man I'd I'd be President!" "An' I'd vote fer ye twenty times a day, mavourneen!" cried the Major.
On the evening before, several of his more distant relatives came to take their farewell of him, and, in compliance with the usages of Irish hospitality, they were detained for the night. They did not, however, come empty-handed: some brought money; some brought linen, stockings, or small presents "jist, Jimmy, asthore, to keep me in yer memory, sure, and nothin' else it is for, mavourneen."
It appeared so; for when that small individual started to consciousness and consequent alarm again, and was making an excursion among the feet of the gentlemen on the coach floor, its aroused mistress was only aroused in time to hear a consolatory whisper from one of her companions 'Poor little Kathleen Mavourneen, by what misfortune did you get in here?
You see, mavourneen, it's a long time since she was anything but a trouble to people. I thought she was only talking in her mad way. But since I've wakened up I've been thinking that maybe she knows something." "Oh, I wouldn't build on it, child. Lizzie often talks nonsense, though she's not as mad as people think." "I was just going to get up when I heard your foot on the stairs.
Or maybe I heard George W. Curtis, who had come to visit his old teachers, singing the "Erl King" or "Good-night to Julia" or plaintive "Kathleen Mavourneen" in his inimitable way.
The bright eyes glanced defiantly at the old man and then suddenly clouded over; the corners of the little mouth began to droop, and the small bare shoulders to heave. "They'd no call to go lavin' me all by meself." "Troth they hadn't, mavourneen," agreed Pat, clackling his tongue sympathetically.
I'll call me a'nt." "An' what would ye do that for? It's the truth I'm tellin' ye, darlint. The very first minute I seen ye on the doorstep the heart leapt out o' me breast. You're my choice, mavourneen, though I don't so much as know your name yet." Elleney gazed at him timidly. He was a pleasant-looking young fellow, and his eyes were very kind.
How can you, mavourneen, walk all the way to Dublin, and you so worn and weakly with that sickness, and the bad feedin' both before and since? Och, give it up, achree, and stay wid us, let what will happen. You're not able for sich a journey, indeed you're not.
