Some people say hard things about it, and want to reform it, or even to leave it altogether; but I love it! I love it! and think it just charming! "And now spring is here, and the world is lovely in its yellow and green. It must be urromassy nice over yandher in the 'oilan' too, with the primroses and the violets and the gorse in the glen. Oh, dear! oh, dear!
The dear little 'oilan! Now that I am so far away, I go over it in my mind's eye with the idiotic affection of a mother who knows every inch of her baby's body and would like to gobble it. The leaves must be down by this time, and there can be nothing on the bare boughs but the empty nests where the little birdies used to woo and sing. My love to them and three tremendous kisses for yourselves!
But to-morrow morning I go back to the 'oilan, and it will be so nice up there without anybody and all alone!" She was laughing softly to herself as she wrote, and catching her breath with a little sob at intervals.
"You bet it's 'a pair' that will take your 'two knaves, you and your Lord Brownstone," returned Golly, dropping a mock courtesy. "Ta-ta; I'm going on the stage." She went first into a tobacconist's and sold cigarettes. Sometimes she suffered from actual want, and ate fried fish. "Do you know how nice fried fish tastes in London, you on 'the Oilan'?" she wrote gayly.
"You are wrong, dear, if you think I care for the man you speak of. He has been very good to me and helped me in my career, but he is nothing to me nothing whatever But we are such old friends, John? It seems impossible to remember a time when we were not old chums, you and I! Sometimes I dream of those dear old days in the 'lil oilan'! Aw, they were ter'ble just ter'ble!
How I wish you were with me in the thick of the fight! Sometimes I dream you are, too, and I fancy I see you in the midst of these bright young things with their flowers and feathers they will make beautiful Christians yet! Oddly enough, on the day you travelled to the island, every hour that took you farther away seemed to bring you nearer. Greetings!" "Glenfaba,'the Oilan.
Couldn't we do it as cheaply at home? Or couldn't you prevail on your Father Superior to set up his monastery there? I'm afraid I'm not up to it. Why don't you try the old 'Oilan, nearer home? There's lots of measles and diphtheria about there lately." When the heartbroken John Gale received this epistle, he also received a letter from his uncle, the First Lord of the Admiralty.
