"How do you do, Teddy?" at length the missionary said, after having enjoyed the poor fellow's confusion. "Faith, but ye sent the cold shivers over me. Is it yerself, Mister Harvey, out in these woods, or is it yer ghost on the s'arch for Misthress Cora? I sometimes thinks me own ghost is out on the s'arch without me body, an' I shouldn't be surprised to maat it some day.
Biddy, sure he'll be very angry, intirely." "Faith, and it's no longer ago than the day afther yesterday, that the misthress was saying if we confissed our sins with a right spirit, we should be afther being forgiven; and now, Pathrick, I'm thinking we 'll be afther getting married, and then there will be a plinty of time for confissing."
"The Lord preserve us!" she cried, "this surely is the day of judgment. Fifty trees fell across my very path, between this an' the creek. Mrs. C just reached her brother's clearing a few minutes before a great oak fell on her very path. What thunther! what lightning! Misthress, dear! it's turn'd so dark, I can only jist see yer face."
'Pon me word, if ye was to see the Misthress now of a Sunday!" "Who's that?" said Mike absently. "The Misthress Miss Rorke!" "Oh, aye, of course, Miss Rorke is the Misthress now," mused Mike to himself. "Well, if ye was to see her in her black silky dress an' the beautiful feathers in her hat, an' her gould watch and chain an' all 'pon me word, ye'd think it was the Queen."
There's Misthress Ashatea and the young chief billing and cooing at her tent-door like two turtle-doves; and if they were to see you moving about, maybe they'd think it necessary, out of courtesy, to come and help you and it would be a pity to disturb them."
You'd only have to lay down the potato-basket on the flure, or the misthress, Gad bless her, could do it, an' not lave a crumblin' behind her, besides sleepin, your haner, in the carner beyant, if she'd take the throuble." The sluggish phlegm of the Englisman was stirred up a little by the twisted, and somewhat incomprehensible nature of these instructions.
And Katty, being out among the pots and pans and kettles, didn't hear her at all; so Davies went and summoned the girl, instead of going to Almira himself, as Almira thought he should have done. Presently Katty came out. The misthress wanted to know was the doctor ever coming and Mrs. Darling? Then Davies entered the room and closed the door. "Dr. Rooke has not yet returned, Mira," he said.

"Misthress Healy, is it; well, I don't care a d n if it was Misthress Toe-y!" For a quarter of a century my sister has occupied my mother's chimney-corner, but it was vacant that night. She sat on my father's side of the fire.
But if it's a thrial ye want, it's me that'll give't ye as soon as ye plase. I'll answer for ye's to Misthress Millicent, and that's what I niver did for Bridget, and it's right glad I am of that. Now niver fear, me darlint, it's a powerful good place, it is too, to thim as kapes the right side o' Misthress Millicent; for she's the only daughter, and the mother is dead and gone, poor soul!"
"Ah, sir, I see you are dressed in black; and I heard of the death of the misthress, sir." "Well, but what has that to do with what you have just now said that you would make it worth my while if I gave you alms?" "I said so, sir; and I can, if you will be guided by me." "Speak out; I don't understand you."
