But it's your turn to weer it. Ye've been wounded a'ready. 'Na, na, Wullie! 'Dae what I tell ye, ye ! Willie made the exchange of headgear. . . . 'I say, Macgreegor! 'What? 'This is Flanders. Ye mind oor bet? Weel, we're quits noo. I'm no owin' ye onything eh? Macgregor grinned in spite of everything. 'Ay, we're quits noo, Wullie, sure enough.
What clothes I had they kep' against the rent I was owin', when they told me to get out. An' I walked an' walked, an' then one o' them cops in Central Park, he seen me, an' next thing I knew I was here." She was getting hysterical, and he saw that it was quite useless to try to reason with her; the one way to allay her terror was to make the promise she implored.
"Waal, at fust he had some kind o' work to do writin', an' he seemed to git along very comf'table, at least, fur's I know, for I was out tailorin' all day mostly, same as I be now; but last fall the writin' seemed to gin out all to oncet, an' he begun to kerry off his furnitoor an' books to sell, an' finally he paid up all he was owin' of me, an' told me he didn't want no more meals, but would find himself.
"Why, you see," he proceeded in reply, "the poor gintleman was near his end an' it was owin' to Pat Corrigan that I seen him at all for Pat, you know, is his own man. When I went in to where he sat I found Mr. Fethertonge the agent wid him: he had a night-cap on, an' was sittin' in a big armchair, wid one of his feet an' a leg swaythed wid flannel. I thought he was goin' to write or sign papers.

I s'pose he calkilated that your gittin' out might leave a vacancy fer him. Thought he might hev to turn in and do the rest of the ten years' job that's owin' to Uncle Sam on that land-warrant, eh? I guess you won't find no money left. 'Twixt him and the creditors and the lawyers and the jedges, they a'n't nary cent to carry." "When did you hear from Gray?"
And I remember, too, that Ardelia's mother wanted to sign it; but she couldn't, owin' to a bed-spread she wus a makin'.

'Don't you know it's merely owin' to the mercy of hell an' my watchful care, you-all ain't bustin' your harp-strings an' raisin' all round discord among the heavenly hosts on high right now, instead of bein' safe an' well yere in Wolfville?

"Are you full awake now, ye red-hot blastoderm?" gasped Graham, struggling to free himself when Gallagher gave him leave. "I am thot, thanks to you, Sandy, lad. 'Twas a foine bit av a scrimmage, an' I'm owin' ye wan. Good night to ye."
