The natural heat and warmth seemed to depart out of the poor girl's body; she felt like an icicle, and the cold perspiration ran in torrents from her face. "My darling misthress," thought she, "it's all over with you at last.
"Not that he thought there was a ha'porth of danger, but, Lord bless them! the misthress and the childre 'ud be frightened." Poor old man! he had a true Irish heart, with an air of better days long vanished, and a deep loyalty to "thim of the ould stock;" and his boasts of grandeur and valiant deeds were mingled with childlike credulity.
The old lady, holding Betty by the wrist, whispered a benediction; and Betty crying 'Oh! my dear, what's happened the poor misthress? crossed the hall in a second, followed by Mrs. Mack, and they heard the door unlocked on the inside as they reached it.

And will I go up, and be bringing Miss Anty down, ma'am?" "Wait a while. Sit to the fire there, and warm your shins. You're a good girl. I'll go and get on my shoes and stockings, and my cloak, and bonnet. I must go up wid you myself, and ask yer misthress down, as she should be asked.
