"I didn't know ye'd done so well as a bridge builder they'd made ye train-despatcher too," sneered Murphy. "Build a siding and I'll take a chance, though it ain't fair to Molly. Ye'll nade one anyway. Trains ought to have a chance to pull up where it's safe and say their prayers before tempting Providence on those straws. Why don't ye set up a saloon where the passengers can get drunk first "
"'Twas this way, sorr, but it's a long yarn, and ye don't nade more than the p'ints av it. When I was priest's bhoy in Tipperary, me and Mike Sullivan had atween us what you gents call a vendeny, and coming out av church 'twas Sunday mornin' five year ago I met Mike, an' he puts coals av fire on me head.
If it's help ye nade, I guess we might be able to scrape up a shooter apiece. We lug 'em along for ballast, ye understand, in the absence o' fire-water. If it's a foighter ye're talking like, ivery devil of a mother's son of us can make a bang like a gun, with a bullet t'rowed in though for meself I prefer a shillalah. I'm going to be in this foight if I have to use a lead pencil. Ain't I Oirish?"
"No, no, dearie! He is like he was, only they have fixed him a bit av a shelther from th' sun. Do ye dhrink this now," she coaxed in her pretty voice; "dhrink it, asthore, ye'll nade it f'r th' thrip." She held up a bowl of broth, steaming and sweet as the flesh-pots of Egypt, and Maren took it from her. "But did M'sieu Oh, I have slept when I should have tended him!" "Ye poor girl.
"Yes, mother, it did." "Thin I'm beholden to it. And I take back all me hard woords and thochts. Give me another sup o' thot cordial, now, till I go to slape. And ye may tell the neighbors, fur me, thot I've thried and I know yez can get what ye nade fur the askin' out o' thim mash-ines. Now be off wid yez I'm going to slape."
The gambler waved his proffered arm aside. "I'm not so bad as all that," said he. "I let me little Corporal help me sometimes for love of it, not because I nade it." He was still gaunt and pale, but his eyes were of unconquerable fire, and the lift of his head from the shoulders was still leopard-like.
"Was it workin' for you she was, Miss?" "Yes," said Janice breathlessly. "And they had a pianny," sobbed Delia;. "'Twas be-a-utiful!" "You come home an' play on the washboard that's the kind of a pianny you nade to play on," grumbled her father. "I'm sorry for ye," he added turning to Janice, "if your folks has to depend on the likes of her to do the work.
Cheerfully would I go myself, were such a step military, or at all excusable in one in my situation." "If the likes of myself will sarve yer honour's turn," put in Mike, promptly, and yet with sufficient diffidence as regarded his views of his own qualifications "there'll be nobody to gainsay that same; and it isn't wilcome that I nade tell you, ye'll be to use me as ye would yer own property."
"It 'u'd all be well ernuff, Mis' Flannigan, ef I had n' met you; but I don' know whar I 's ter fin' a colored lady w'at 'll begin ter suit me after habbin' libbed in de same house wid you." "Colored lady, indade! Why, Misther Braboy, ye don't nade ter demane yerself by marryin' a colored lady not but they 're as good as anybody else, so long as they behave themselves.
"Not for the wurrld," replied the other meekly, "bein' mesef a Child of Satan." "And that's what ye are. And ye'd have others like yerself. But ye won't while I've a tongue in me head and a sthrong stick in me hand." O'Connell looked at him with a mischievous twinkle in his blue-grey eyes: "Yer eloquence seems to nade somethin' to back it up, I'm thinkin'." Father Cahill breathed hard.
