At any rate, it's the first time for the last five years that they dare go up and down the street, calling out for the face of a Murphy, or a Kelly; for they're as bitter now agin us as agin the Murphys themselves.
Murphy to take her children and leave the house, but the lady had laughed at her fears and partially dissipated them. Miss Caddick was standing at the head of the second flight of stairs when the flood burst upon the house. She screamed to the Murphys father, mother and seven children to save themselves.
