The moment he mentioned "faver," the men involuntarily drew back, after having laid him reclining against the green ditch. "Thin, thundher an' turf, what's to be done?" exclaimed one of them, thrusting his spread fingers into his hair. "Is the poor boy to die widout help among Christyeens like us?" "But hasn't he the sickness?" exclaimed another: "an' in that case, Pether, what's to be done?"
The conversation between the two young men as they returned from their labor, was short but expressive. "Bartle," said Connor, "are you afeard of thundher? The rason I ask," he added, "is, bekase your face is as white as a sheet." "I have it from my mother," replied Flanagan, "but at all evints such an evenin' as this is enough to make the heart of any man quake."
"That's thrue enough," replied Donnel Dhu; "but lavin' him to shift for himself, I'm of opinion that you an' I are likely to get wet jackets before we're much oulder. Ha! Did you see that lightnin'? God presarve us! it was terrible an' ay, there it is the thundher! God be about us, thundher at this hour is very fearful.
'Thundher-an-owns, says his raverance, says he seein' the Latin took no infect on him, at all at all an' screechin' that you'd think he'd rise the thatch up iv the house wid the fair fright 'and thundher and blazes, boys, will none iv yes come here wid a candle, but lave your clargy to be choked by a spirit in the dark? says he.
It's ashamed I am of ye to be frightened by a few little flashes of lightnin' and the beautiful, grand thundher that always kapes it company. It's ashamed I am of ye that's what I am!" He spoke almost roughly to hide his emotion and he furtively wiped the tears from his face so that she should not see them. "It's not the lightnin' I'm afraid of, father," said Peg solemnly. "It's the thundher.
I'll feel my spirits low, by rason of the darkness, but I'm not afraid. It's well for them that have a clear conscience; they say that a stormy sky is the face of an angry God " "An' the thundher His voice," added Bartle; "but why are the brute bastes an' the birds afraid, that commit no sin?"
Thundher, and wind, and lightnin', and hail, and rain, were all at work together, and every one knew at wanst that the devil was riz for somethin'. Well, I'm near the end of it.
Why, you joulter-headed ould dog, you can't hang me, or, if you do, I'll leave them behind me that will put such a half ounce pill into your guts as will make you turn up the whites of your eyes like a duck in thundher. You'll hang me for robbery, you ould sinner! But what is one half the world doin' but robbin' the other half? and what is the other half doin' but robbin' them?
It shrivels me up, that's what it does." "The thundher, is it? Sure that's only the bluff the storm puts up when the rale harm is done by the lightnin's flash. There is no harm in the thundher at all. And remember, after all, it's the will of God." Peg thought a moment: "It always sounds just as if He were lookin' down at us and firin' off cannons at us because He's angry with us."
"Unfortunately, as I said," replied Sullivan, "it's but poor an' humble treatment I can give you; but if it was betther you should be jist as welcome to it, an' what more can I say?" "What more can you say, indeed! I know your good heart, Jerry, as who doesn't? Dear me, how it's poorin' over there towards the south ha, there it is again, that thundher!
