Also she had fun with him for working under a Slovak another loss of caste, it appeared! This was a joke the Minettis could share in especially Little Jerry, who liked jokes. He told Mary how Joe Smith had had to pay fifteen dollars for his new job, besides several drinks at O'Callahan's. Also he told how Mike Sikoria had called Joe his "green mule."
She had lifted her clenched fist as she spoke. She let it fall again, and strode on, not even glancing at him. "Ye might try a thousand years, Joe, and ye'd not realise the feelin's that come to me there at the Minettis'. The shame of it not what she done to me, but what she made me in me own eyes!
Ye'd tell me not to be ashamed of poverty; but would ye ever put me by the side of her for all your fine feelin's of friendship for them that's beneath ye? Didn't ye show that at the Minettis'?" "But don't you see, Mary " He made an effort to laugh. "I got used to obeying Jessie! I knew her a long time before I knew you." "Ah, Joe!
Bob Creston, for example, who was good at a "song and dance" he would surely be interested in "Blinky," the vaudeville specialist of the camp! Mrs. Curtis, who liked cats, would find a bond of sisterhood with old Mrs. Nagle, who lived next door to the Minettis, and kept five!
Warner, you win," he remarked; and after a little arguing he agreed to permit a couple of women to go into the tipple-room and make a list of the injured, and go out and give the news to the crowd. Hal went to the Minettis to ask Mary Burke to attend to this; but Rosa said that Mary had gone out after he and Miss Arthur had left, and no one knew where she was. So Hal went to Mrs.
But I never knew why, or what it meant till that day, there at the Minettis'. I'd read about fine ladies in books, ye see; but I'd never been spoke to by one, I'd never had to swallow one, as ye might say. But there I did and all at once I seemed to know where the money goes that's wrung out of the miners.
To his amusement he found that in the eyes of his Irish friends he was losing caste by going to live with the Minettis. There were most rigid social lines in North Valley, it appeared.
During these days of torment, Hal did not go to see "Red Mary"; but then, one evening, the Minettis' baby having been sick, she came in to ask about it, bringing what she called "a bit of a custard" in a bowl.
The Minettis sat gazing at each other a mournful pair. They hated to lose their boarder, who was such good company, and paid them such good money. As for Hal, he felt nearly as bad, for he liked Jerry and his girl-wife, and Little Jerry even the black-eyed baby, who made so much noise and interrupted conversation! "No!" said Jerry. "I no run, away! I do my share!" "That's all right," replied Hal.
