"If it wasn't that I'm a poor widdy woman, I'd I'd " "Howld yer tongue, Mother Lynch," whispered a lively youth of about nineteen by her side, who obviously hailed from the same country. "It's not aggravatin' him that'll do him good. Let him be, darlin', and he'll soon blow the steam off."
"And that's thrue for you, Mrs Kelly, Ma'am," exclaimed one. "It's a shame for him to come storming here, agin a lone widdy, so it is," said a virago, who seemed well able, like the widow herself, to take her own part. "Who iver knew any good of a Lynch barring Miss Anty herself?" argued a third.
The faithful sunset-tinted face of Blackbird, immovable as a fixed star, regarded the battered cobbler as it might have regarded a great manitou when the island was young. "How did you come by this, Owen?" "I come by it from one that had throuble. Has yerself iver seen it before, John McGillis?" "I have." "Is it a towken that ye're not a widdy?" "It is."
The relations between Durdles and Deputy seem to be of a capricious kind, for on Durdles turning to look at the boy, Deputy makes a wide circuit into the road and stands on the defensive. "You never cried Widdy Warning before you begun tonight," cries Durdles, unexpectedly reminded of, or imagining an injury.
For they larn to behave theirsens like gentlemen born, fit for t' fost o' coompany they tell me t' Widdy herself is fond of a good dog and knaws one when she sees it as well as onny body: then on t' other hand a-tewin' round after cats an' gettin' mixed oop i' all manners o' blackguardly street-rows, an' killin' rats, an' fightin' like divils.
Private Gellatly said, with a shake of the head, as she was lost to view: "Devils bestir me, what a widdy she'll make!" It was understood that Aleck Windsor and Mab Humphrey were to be married on the coming New Year's Day. What connection was there between the words of Sergeant Fones and those of Private Gellatly? None, perhaps.
They recognized each other. The whiskey sneak rose in trepidation. But William said calmly, "Sit down." "Well," he continued with a laugh, "I hear you got ahead of the Widdy." "Yeh." "Well, she can afford it," said Bill. "She's getting rich." Mason breathed more freely. "I should think ye'd carry a revolver in such a business," said William, inquiringly. "Bet I do," said Mason.
Durdles comes by HIS knowledge through grubbing deep for it, and having it up by the roots when it don't want to come. Holloa you Deputy! 'Widdy! is Deputy's shrill response, standing off again. 'Catch that ha'penny. And don't let me see any more of you to- night, after we come to the Travellers' Twopenny.
An' her own clothes she burned, an' put on the clothes I brought her wid me own hand. An' for that thing she did, the love o' God in her heart, is it for Widdy Flynn or Cure or anny other to forgit?
"He gives me a 'apenny to pelt him home if I ketches him out too late," says the boy. And then chants, like a little savage, half stumbling, and half dancing, among the rags and laces of his dilapidated boots, Widdy widdy wen! I ke ches 'im out ar ter ten, Widdy widdy wy! Then 'E don't go then I shy, Widdy widdy Wakecock warning!
