"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."
"Don't be afeard," said Barney, laughing; "take my word for it, if there's to be rough weather, and that some witch or wizard has broken bargain with the devil, the misthress has intherest to get it put off till the bonfire's over." He then bade them good-by, and took his departure to fulfil his agreeable and welcome mission.
"De yez think, Raowl, she's gone after the licker?" "I am sure of it," answered the Frenchman. In a few minutes the woman returned, and, drawing a small flask out of the folds of her rebozo, handed it to Chane. The Irishman commenced undoing the string that carried his "relics." "Which ov them de yez want, misthress? the saint, or the Howly Mother, or both? it's all the same to Murtagh."
She looked almost pale and as if she were excited about something. "Come home, darlint," she said; "the misthress is wantin' yez." Cedric slipped down from his stool. "Does she want me to go out with her, Mary?" he asked. "Good-morning, Mr. Hobbs. I'll see you again." He was surprised to see Mary staring at him in a dumfounded fashion, and he wondered why she kept shaking her head.
Who brought the heretic Bible into yer house? And who gathered the poor neighbours together to hear the false words that lead to perdition? Answer me that, Misthress Dillon," said the priest in a tone of anger. Biddy did not reply, though she had quite regained her usual courage. "I'll ask ye a plain question, Biddy Dillon, and I want a straight answer.
"It's twinty-foive dollars is here. Where be's the misthress?" "I think I shall have to go and explain it to her," Mrs. Errol said. So she, too, went out of the room and Mr. Havisham was left alone for a while. He went to the window and stood looking out into the street reflectively.
"And would you then be letting him come here as he likes, and settling nothing, and just maning to marry you or not, as he likes, and you and he talked of over the counthry these four months back, and he talking about you, jist as his misthress, through the counthry?" Feemy was now regularly roused.
So we turned in, and we were in bed maybe two hours or so, and fast enough, when down come the misthress as pale as a sheet, wid a candle in her hand, and begged me, for dear life, to come up into her room to her, and so I did, in coorse.
With great pride the old woman conducted me over the premises, and showed me the furniture "the masther" had bought; especially recommending to my notice a china tea-service, which she considered the most wonderful acquisition of the whole. "Och! who would have thought, a year ago, misthress dear, that we should be living in a mansion like this, and ating off raal chaney?
Well, it's little of them that passed between us, barrin' that the Injins was so near by, that it was whisper we did, and not a bit else." "Still there must have been some message." "Ye are as wise as a sarpent, Miss Maud, as Father O'Loony used to tell us all of a Sunday! Was it wor-r-ds! Give that to Miss Maud, says the majjor, says he, 'and tell her she is now misthress of my sacret."
