At the same time, Rourke kept talking of the "nonsinse av it," and the "onraisonableness" of demanding o.k.s for everything. "Ye'd think some one was goin' to sthale thim from thim," he declared irritably and defiantly. I saw at once that some infraction of the railroad rules had occurred and that he had been "called down," or "jacked up" about it, as the railroad men expressed it.
It's a shame that I can't do enough for the three of us, and the more, maybe, that there'll be, but you must be at it, too, all the time." "What nonsinse ye're talkin', John," Kitty answered. "What would I be doin', settin' up here like a lady, doin' nothin', and you and mother workin' away like you was my servants?
He does it without thinking, I replied. 'Thankin' you for the complimint, sorr, ut may be so. But I'm doubtful whether you mint ut for a complimint. Hear now; I sat there wid Judy on my knee tellin' me all manner av nonsinse an' only sayin' "yes" an' "no," when I'd much better ha' kept tongue betune teeth. An' that was not an hour afther I had left Dinah! What I was thinkin' av I cannot say.
I take shame for a decent girl like you dhraggin' your mother out bareheaded on this errand. Hear now, and have ut for an answer. I gave my word to Dinah Shadd yesterday, an', more blame to me, I was wid you last night talkin' nonsinse but nothin' more. You've chosen to thry to hould me on ut. I will not be held thereby for anythin' in the world. Is that enough? "Judy wint pink all over.
An' be was a moild man! But I'm digresshin'. 'Tis a shame both to the rig'mints and the Arrmy sendin' down little orf'cer bhoys wid a draf' av strong men mad wid liquor an' the chanst av gettin' shut av India, an' niver a punishment that's fit to be given right down an' away from cantonmints to the dock! 'Tis this nonsinse.
Wait on the table the best ye know how, and at the end of it, when I ring the bell three times, do ye go to the cellar and bring plenty of wine, and let's have no more nonsinse about it. "'Niver say it twice, says Jack; 'yer honor can depind on me. "Well, ye may belave I was listenin' to all this, for I wasn't in the cellar all the time.
"I want ye to go to Woodlawn," he continued, "and look after some bolts that arre theyer there's a keg av thim an' sign the bill fer thim, an' ship thim down to me. They're not miny. An' thin I waant ye to go down to the ahffice an' take thim this O. K." And here he fished around and produced another crumpled slip. "It's nonsinse!" he exclaimed, when he saw it. "It's onraisonable!
"'I'm pressed for time to-day, sez Judy as bould as brass; 'an' I've only come for Terence, my promust man. Tis strange to find him here the day afther the day. "Dinah looked at me as though I had hit her, an' I answered straight. "'There was some nonsinse last night at the Sheehys' quarthers, an' Judy's carryin' on the joke, darlin', sez I.
"Wid that I slipped my arm round her waist, for, begad, I fancied she had surrindered at discretion, an' the honors av war were mine, "'Fwhat nonsinse is this? sez she, dhrawin' hersilf up on the tips av her dear little toes. 'Wid the mother's milk not dhry on your impident mouth? Let go! she sez,
None o' yer nonsinse, or I'll put a windy in ye." Jim eyed him with a smile, but he knew that no ordinary errand had brought Mike to him so quickly. "Old Belcher sent ye, did he?" said Jim. "Be gorry he did, an' I've come to git a reward. Now, if ye'll be dacint, ye shall have part of it."
