"Oh, Fardorougha!" exclaimed his mother, after they had gone, "sure it isn't merely for partin' wid him that we feel so heart broken. He may never stand under this roof again, an' he all we have and had to love!" "No," returned Fardorougha, quietly; "no, it's not, as you say, for merely partin' wid him hanged! God! God! Mm here Honor here, the thought of it I'll die it'll break!
A sudden silence fell, and Morris, standing over his fallen foe, looked about him as if dazed. For an instant he stood so, then with a violent movement he pushed back the crowding men, and lifting the sheriff, dragged him toward the open window.

If I had to give it up," sez he, "it would be like tearin' out my very heart-strings, and partin' with what seems like a part of my own life." The man looked very earnest and sincere when he said this, and even agitated. He meant what he said, no doubt on't.
She was not beautiful, but yet she was sure of pleasing by her geniality and her wit, and also by that exquisite tact which made one forget the awfulness of the sovereign in the gentleness of the woman. A few days after, Count Partin told me that the empress had twice asked after me, and that this was a sure sign I had pleased her.
