"I niver promised to show ye any word from the old counthry," responded Owen, having his mouth free of bandages and both eyes for the boats. "Te tould me ye had a towken from the old counthry." "I niver tould ye I had a towken from the old counthry." "Ye did tell me ye had a towken." "I have." "Ye said it proved I was not a widdy." "I did." "Show me that same, thin." "I will."
"Let's have a look at it," said Kenna. Mason hesitated. "Ye better let me see it, or " There was a note of threat for the first time. Mason drew his revolver, somewhat bewildered. Before the informer knew what move was best, Kenna reached out and took the weapon. "I hear ye got twenty-five dollars from the Widdy." "Yeh." And Mason began to move nervously under the cold glitter in Kenna's eyes.
"He tuk his best coat," said Dinah Shadd, reproachfully. "'Twas to do honour to the Widdy. I cud ha' done no less, Dinah Shadd. You and your digresshins interfere wid the coorse av the narrative. Have you iver considhered fwhat I wud look like wid me head shaved as well as me chin? You bear that in your mind, Dinah darlin'.
"Oh, they are all handsome all my pests." "The one I found under your window, Miss Lucy; he wasn't in liquor; so what was he there for? and you know you were not at your ease till you had made me go and wake him, and send him home; and you were all of a tremble. I'm a widdy now, and can speak my mind to men-folk all one as women-folk; but I've been a maid, and I can mind how I was in those days.
Well, wan evenin' I wint to see her, an' says I, `Mrs Morgan, did ye iver hear the bit song called the Widdy Machree? `Sure I niver did, says she. `Would ye like to hear it, darlint? says I. So she says she would, an' I gave it to her right off; an' when I'd done, says I, `Now, Widdy Morgan, ochone! will ye take me? But she shook her head, and looked melancholy. `Ye ain't a-goin' to take spasms? said I, for I got frightened at her looks. `No, says she; `but there's a sacret about me; an' I like ye too well, Phil, to decaive ye; if ye only know'd the sacret, ye wouldn't have me at any price.
Paddy himself is raggetty like, and a sight to behould wid the daylight shinin' through the ould coat on him; but he's a dacint spalpeen, and sure we'd be lost widout him. His mother's a widdy woman with nine moidtherin' childer, not countin' the pig an' the goat, which has aquil advantages.
"Thrue, my son! This jam thing that I'm talkin' about lasted for five minutes good, an' thin we got our arms clear an' wint in. I misremimber exactly fwhat I did, but I didn't want Dinah to be a widdy at the Depot. Thin, after some promishkuous hackin' we shtuck again, an' the Tyrone behin' was callin' us dogs an' cowards an' all manner av names; we barrin' their way.
An' Andy was there along wid the rest, an' the priest put a small pinnance upon him, for bein' in too great a hurry to marry a widdy. An' bad luck to the word he'd allow anyone to say an the business, ever after, at all, at all; so, av coorse, no one offinded his raverence, by spakin' iv the twelve pounds he got for layin' the sperit.
"If it wasn't that I had that other noble heart til fall back on," said he, as he wiped his royal eyes with the back of his royal hand, "I'd be fairly broken-hearted, so I would. But I'll be loike Tim in the song: "'Oh, a widdy she lived in Limerick town, Not far from Shannon water, An' Tim kept company wid her, A coortin' av Biddy, her daughter.
"I think likely it is. Can you tell me how to get there?" "Thim Kinzers is foine people. The widdy married one of the gurrels to Misther Morris." "But how can I get to the house?" "Is it there ye're afther goin'? Hey, Michael, me boy, bring up yer owld rattlethrap, and take the leddy's thrunk. She'll be goin' to the Kinzer place. Sharp, now."
