Mullarkey had decided that Celia Jane didn't need any costume to play the part of the dancing pony except her good, white dress that she probably wouldn't ruin this time as all she had to do was to dance. Danny was having more than a peck of trouble. His elephant costume had all sorts of queer mishaps.
"Helen," interrupted Jerry's father, "I've been thinking, now that we are going to settle down in business, it would be a wise thing for Mrs. Mullarkey to sell her place here and move to Carroll with us. Then we'll know how they are getting on and can look after the children some. I'll help her dispose of the place here and buy one in Carroll, if she would like such an arrangement."
"Mother 'Larkey will be awful glad to see the circus," Jerry remarked. "She ain't seen none since just after she was married. An' so will Nora and Celia Jane." "You boys wait here while Helen and I get ready," said Whiteface, "and then we'll pay our respects to Mrs. Mullarkey and Nora and Celia Jane and Kathleen." "You won't go out of the tent, will you, Gary?" asked the elephant-lady.
Francesca and I spent a moment in irrepressible mirth, and then summoned Mrs. Mullarkey. Whether the Irish kings could be relied upon in an emergency I do not know, but their descendants cannot. Mrs. Mullarkey had gone to the convent to see the Mother Superior about something; Mr.
Bowe and took several bills from her bag and pressed them into Mrs. Mullarkey's hands. "I can't thank you," said Mother 'Larkey. "I don't know how." "You've loved Gary, Mrs. Mullarkey. He wouldn't love you so much if you hadn't. That is more thanks than I want. We owe more than thanks to you. Tell them good-by, Gary. We must start."
Bowe, Gary's mother," she said, "and oh, how can I ever thank you for loving him and giving him a home? I never can repay you." "That we can't, Mrs. Mullarkey," Whiteface interposed. "But what is this about taking Gary away? And Celia Jane?" "Let's go into the house first," suggested Mrs. Bowe. "We have too big an audience here." She led the way, her arm still about Mrs. Mullarkey's shoulder.
We asked, on our arrival at Knockarney House, if we might breakfast at a regular hour, say eight thirty. Mrs. Mullarkey agreed, with that suavity which is, after her untidiness, her distinguishing characteristic; but notwithstanding this arrangement we break our fast sometimes at nine forty, sometimes at nine twenty, sometimes at nine, but never earlier.
Mullarkey's too poor to keep you any longer. She can't make enough to keep her own kids." Jerry felt suddenly very little and all alone in a big cold world. Fear had entered his heart. He felt that Mrs. Mullarkey not only hadn't been able to make both ends meet but that she was never going to be able to do it.
Or as if Sultana could be mistaken. What is your name, dear; do you remember that?" "Jerry Elbow," replied Jerry. "What is yours?" Whiteface asked Chris. "Chris Mullarkey," he replied. "How long has Jerry been with you?" "Three years," put in Danny. "He was only three and a half then," said the woman, "and probably couldn't say his name very plainly. He couldn't at the time he was stolen.
"What does all this hullabaloo mean?" he asked Mrs. Mullarkey, in a gruff voice. "It means," said Whiteface, answering for her and advancing towards Mr. Darner, Jerry's hand held tightly in his, "that Jerry Elbow has found his parents and the people have followed us here to show how glad they are." "You his father? A clown in a circus?" asked Mr. Darner.
