When Whitley suggested that they try the country where he had lost his way, his guide only laughed contemptuously, "Ain't ye killin' turkey every trip. Ye jist foller me an' I'll sure find 'em fer ye. Ain't nothin' over in that holler. I done tromped all over thar' huntin' that dad burned ol' mule o'mine, an' didn't see nary sign. Thay's usen' 'round th' south side th' ridge.
But she went to her own mother's grave and sat beneath the hazel tree and wept and cried out: "Tree o'mine, O tree o'me, With my tears I've watered thee; Make me a lady fair to see, Dress me as splendid as can be." And with that the little bird on the tree called out to her, "Cinder-Maid, Cinder-Maid, shake the tree, Open the first nut that you see."
All happened as before; as soon as the sisters had gone Cinder-Maid went to the hazel tree over her mother's grave and called out: "Tree o'mine, O tree o'me Shiver and quiver, dear little tree; Make me a lady fair to see, Dress me as splendid as can be." And then the little bird appeared and said: "Cinder-Maid, Cinder-Maid, shake the tree Open the first nut that you see."
"A blessing on your precious face!" she cried. "Twa joes o'mine: just two o' my old joes, my hinny dear." "What did they suffer for?" I asked. "Ou, just for the guid cause," said she. "Aften I spaed to them the way that it would end. Twa shillin' Scots: no pickle mair; and there are twa bonny callants hingin' for 't! They took it frae a wean belanged to Brouchton."
He felt her shudder. "You don't know how glad I am to see you." "No gladder than I am to feel you," he answered gayly. "It's worth the price of admission to find you here, girl o'mine." He had forgotten the pretense that still lay between them, so far as words went when they had last parted. Nor did it yet occur to him that he had swept aside the convention of her being a boy.
"Well now," said Darby, "that that's over, can you tell me, Poll, what's the news? When were you in Dublin?" "I've given that up," replied Poll; "I'm too ould and stiff for it now. As for the news, you ought to know what's goin' as well as I do. You're nearly as much on the foot." "No; nor if every head in the parish was 'ithin side o'mine, I wouldn't know as much in the news line as you, Poll."
When the time of the second Royal Ball came round the same thing happened as before; the sisters teased Cinder-Maid saying, "Wouldn't you like to come with us?" and drove off again as before. And Cinder-Maid went again to the hazel tree over her mother's grave and cried: "Tree o'mine, O tree o'me, Shiver and shake, dear little tree Make me a lady fair to see, Dress me as splendid as can be."
This sound, arising from what appeared to be a quite deserted coast, was really very daunting, and the men in the boat held water instantly. "What's this of it?" sings out the captain, for he was come within an easy hail. "Freens o'mine," says Alan, and began immediately to wade forth in the shallow water towards the boat. "Davie," he said, pausing, "Davie, are ye no coming?
A smart, private cab in which you could put a friend of yours well dressed would be the thing. Early." "Easy as winking, sir," answered Gaffney. "Know the cab, and know a friend o'mine who'd sit in it as long as you like." "Very good," said Appleyard. "Now, then, do you know Lancaster Gate?" "Do I know St. Paul's?" exclaimed Gaffney, half-derisively.
It's no door o'mine and it's not opening that same, that old Phil Carrol shall busy himself wid." "Carline," said Mr Treenail, quick and sharp, "remove the body." It was done. "Cruel heavy the old dame is, sir, for all her wasted appearance," said one of the men.
