Captain Cronin had been intently watching the vicinity of the stone steps for some time. "Good boy!" he exclaimed suddenly, as if relieved. "I wondered if he was going to forget his Kathleen Mavourneen." Young Olivarra had reascended the steps and spoken a few words to General Pilar.
Upon my faix, Peggy, it bates all, the love an likin' I have for you, an' ever had these three years past. I tould you about the eyes, mavourneen, an' an' about the lips " "Phelim behave I say now stop wid you well well but you're the tazin' Phelim! Throth the girls may be glad when you're married," exclaimed Peggy, adjusting her polished hair.
For the present the little yawl is an important factor in his operations, and as he stands in his rough blue clothes, looking up through his single eyeglass at the bellying canvas, a gentle smile upon his strongly marked face betrays considerable satisfaction. Lord Mavourneen is a very successful man, and his smile and his yacht have been elements of no small importance in his success.
'The Colleen Bawn, he read, 'Erin's Own, 'The Kathleen Mavourneen, 'The Cruiskeen Lawn. The appropriateness of this last title was not obvious to the mere Irishman, but the colour of the garment was green, so perhaps there was a connection of thought in the maker's mind between that and 'Lawn. 'Cruiskeen' he may have taken for the name of a place.
"Eileen aroon, beggars can't be choosers." Eileen flushed all over her body. "No more can beggars on horseback." "Your father will be sorry you take it like that, mavourneen." And the stout saint burst into tears. Eileen winced. She could almost have flung her arms round her mother and promised to think of it. Suddenly she remembered Lieutenant Doherty.
Sometimes she sung to us of "Acushla machree" and "Mavourneen," and Mammy's Irish songs were especial favorites with the young fry of the nursery. When we were particularly obstreperous, she threatened to go away and leave us, and never come back again; a threat which always produced copious showers of tears, and promises of better behavior.
We met her, and he turned off with her, and I come on to tell you, mother dear. Widow. Make me clear and certain; for I'm slow and weak, dear. Who told you all this good? and is it true? And my child Mabel mavourneen! Oh, tell me again it's true. Owen. True as life. But your lips is pale still, and you all in a tremble.
Brian, mavourneen, did you see him goin' any where? "No," said Brian, "but I see him comin' down there carryin' some aitables in a basket."
"Well," she went on, with a satisfied sigh, "it is all over, ami mia, and I'm sure we made a downright splendid show, to say nothing about the honor we heaped upon ourselves, with our essays, poems, class history, singing, etc. I was proud of it all. Now for the grand finale to-night, and that, I suppose, will end our school life. Heigh-ho! aren't you just a little bit sorry, Kathleen mavourneen?"
He laid his cheek down upon her hair and sat silent. Toby was sobbing a little, and he patted her shoulder soothingly, but he did not speak until with a quivering sigh she relaxed against him and was still. Then, in a whisper, "Toby mavourneen," he said, "I'm going to tell you something that's come to me lately something I've guessed. You needn't answer me.
