I looks at the two coffins as I was comin' away, an' thinks I to myself, I wonder whether the poor man or the rich man'll be most comfortable when they're laid there?" "Now, Molly, I'll bid ye good-night an' be off to see this owld lady, this Mrs Denman. Look afther that boy, now, an kape the matches out of his way, whativer ye do."
"I wonder," said Terry, "whether the owld boy that came out in the boat found out anythin'. 'Deed, if he'd had his wits about him, an' eyes in his head, he'd have seen it all, so he would." "Wal, we'll hev to let 'em know, right straight off." "To-morra'd be best." "Yes; an' then Cazeneau'll be off. I'd rayther wait till then; it'll be better for us to have him out of the way." "What'll ye do?"
"It is amazing to me how a decent, respectable little woman like you can not only tell lies, but boast of it!" "Ah ha! I'm the same owld three and fourpince, an' will be till I die!" triumphed Mrs. Twomey, with another screech of laughter, removing her tiny person, her milk-pail, and her stool from under the cow.
I'll be glad enough to see 'em, for one." "And the owld sowl upstairs. Not that I iver set my eyes on her, and that's the thrruth." "Old Mother Prichard? Why that's none so easy to say. So soon as her swell friends get sick of her, I suppose. She's being cared for, I take it, at this here country place." "'Tis a nobleman's sate in the Norruth, they sid. Can ye till the name of it, to rimimber?"
Sorra bit nor sup but dry bread and water passed me lips till he had his own agin, and the heart's blessings of owld Biddy Macartney along with it." I made my peace with old Biddy as well as I could, and turned the conversation back to her son. "So you live in the docks with your coffee-barrow, Mother, that you may be sure not to miss Micky when he comes ashore?"
Rooney also said that the batch of men brought to complete our crew seemed "a tidy lot;" but when the last man stepped down from the bulwarks, he seemed a little more impressed, not to say excited. "Bedad," he exclaimed sotto voce to me, "I'm blissid if the skipper ar'n't picked up that Chinee cook we'd aboard two v'y'ges agone, owld Ching Wang!
You shall die a hundred deaths, and the Great Spirit of the Arapahoes will smile at the sacrifice!" "Be Jaysis, cyaptin!" cried O'Tigg, who, not understanding Spanish, was ignorant of what had been said, "that ugly owld Indyan wants a bit ov cowld lid through him. In troth, I b'lave the musket moight raich him.
With skeptical smile the magistrate looks at that felonious, would-be kidnaper of a juvenile innocent, and asks for the boy. Michael explains little Jack's sprinting performance, adding: "It was ivident, yer honner, that the skeert child feart that owld vilyun more than the noime of the law." Just then an officer who had been on duty near the South Ferry stepped forward and cleared the situation.
Ye understand that I had yersilf in me eye, though I didn't think there was nade of making it all plain how it was. "Wai, the owld gintleman wouldn't listen to me goin' away, but I managed it so well that after awhile he kind of remarked that if the folks wanted me, he'd no objection to me goin', as he belaved that I would make more there than I would at home.
"Frinds!" exclaimed the astonished Mike, "Be-dad! and whin did I iver know ye to make frinds with ony of owld Blaisdell's men befoor?" "Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut, Mike," was Jack's only reply as he again began work, and Mike had nothing to do but to follow his example. In a short time Houston had become perfectly familiar with his new surroundings.
