"God strengthen you, my poor child," exclaimed the nurse, bursting into tears; "for what will become of you? Your father, Sarah dear, is to be hanged for murdher, an' it was your mother's evidence that hanged him. She swore against him on the thrial an' his sentence is passed. Bartle Sullivan wasn't murdhered at all, but another man was, an' it was your father that done it.
O, let me, thin let me but kiss him once before he dies; it was I, it was myself that murdhered him all might 'a been well; ay, it was I that murdhered you, Connor, my brave hoy, an' have I you in my arms?

No, but just give him a bating that would go nigh taching him the taste of being murdhered, and the same for Master Ussher; for I tell ye may the tongue of the cowardly ruffian be blisthered for putting the name he did on your sisther! but he was only repating what Ussher has said hisself, and that more nor once nor twice."
