Dillon, she added, "You may send her on Monday." "An' she gets a mad streak along o' that pritty crathur," said Mrs. Biddy, as she went down-stairs, "she desarves the warm bating she'll get from her own mother at home." Monday came, and Annorah came too. It was with a doubting heart and a troubled look that Mrs. Lee introduced her into her daughter's chamber.
Miss Pritty therefore capsized the whole affair over her bed-clothes, and fell back with a deadly groan. The stewardess did not lose temper. She was used to such things. If Miss Pritty had capsized her intellect over the bed-clothes, the stewardess would only have smiled, and wiped it up with a napkin. "You'll be better soon, Miss," said the amiable woman, as she retired with the debris.
"Come, dear, don't shudder so fearfully," she said, in a half coaxing half remonstrative tone. "Is he gone?" asked Miss Pritty in a feeble voice, with her eyes tight shut. She referred to a half-naked warrior who had entered the hut, had half shut his great eyes, and had displayed a huge cavern of red gum and white teeth in an irresistible smile at the woe-begone aspect of Miss Pritty.
"Only to write one or two notes, his right hand being disabled at present by rheumatism." "A gentleman, Miss, in the dinin'-room," said the small domestic, suddenly opening a chink of the door for the admission of her somewhat dishevelled head. "He won't send his name up says he wants to see you." "How vexing!" exclaimed Miss Pritty, "but I'll go down.
Miss Pritty made a vigorous struggle. She even smiled through her tears as she replied: "Well, lead on, love; I will follow you to death!" With her eyes tightly shut, lest she should see something hideous in the woods, she stumbled on, holding to her friend's arm. "Where are we going to?" she asked, feebly, after a few minutes, during which Aileen had pulled her swiftly along.
"A pritty creetur! Look at that now, Mr Mark, sir!" All joined in the roar of laughter as the "pritty creetur," to wit, Jack, came ambling along, and hopping from rock to rock, having followed the dog; and as soon as he reached Billy, leaping upon his back, and clinging tightly to his neck, chattering loudly the while.
"Lor', dear," she said, for at least the third time, "I remember ye when I first see ye; an awful pritty baby you was, an' they all said you looked just like the old gen'ral. Be you goin' back to foreign parts right away?" "Yes, I'm going back; you know that all my children are there. I wish I could take you with me for a visit," said the charming young guest.
"I'm sorry for yez," returned Malone, "for I'm afeared we'll have to skrag the wan half of ye to keep the other half in order. In a spik an' span noo settlement, where ivvery wan thinks he may do as he likes, the laws has to be pritty stiff. We've wan comfort, howivver the quane is marciful." The Irishman was right in both his views on this subject, as the sequel will show.
He glanced quickly at his host and at the negro, but to his surprise these remarkable men seemed not to be aware of the shaking, although it was severe enough to cause some of the furniture to rattle. Observing his look of surprise, Moses remarked, with a benignant though capacious smile, "Mountain's got de mulligrumps pritty bad jist now."
After an hour of interjectional, exclamatory, disconnected, irrelevant, and largely idiotical converse sustained chiefly by herself Miss Pritty said: "And oh! The pirates!" She said this with an expression of such awful solemnity that Aileen could not forbear smiling as she asked "Did you see any?" "Gracious! No," exclaimed Miss Pritty, with a look of horror, "but we heard of them.
