And full tilt she's off to Flaherty's, the publican, in her blue jock where she'll not be long afore she kicks up a quarrel, I'll engage; for she's sarching the house for Honor McBride, who is not in it and giving bad language, I warrant, to all the McBride faction, who is in it, drinking. Oh! trust Catty's tongue for breeding a riot!
She folded her hands on her knees and waited, listening. Sounds of wheels and of hoofs scraping up the hill. The Morfe bus, back from Reyburn. Catty's feet, running along the passage. The front door opening, then shutting. Dan hadn't come with the bus. "Perhaps," Mamma said, "Ned Anderson'll bring him." "It was Canada that killed poor Roddy." "It won't kill Dan. He's different."
Don't let me count three till you're after me, or I'll bleed ye! I will, by the blessing! Pat. But they'll niver know. Oh, Catty won't say a sintence of my name, was she carded! No, Catty's a scould, but has a conscience. Mrs. CARVER'S Dressing-room, HONOR McBRIDE and MISS BLOOMSBURY discovered. Honor. How will I know, Miss Bloomsbury, when it will be twelve o'clock? Bloom.
"Miss Mary " Catty's thick, loving voice and the jerk of her black eyes warned her. Mamma looked in at the door. "Put that book away," she said. She hated the two brown volumes of Elwes's Spinoza you had bought for your birthday. "The dinner will be ruined if you read." "It'll be ruined if I don't read."
When she's working in the garden, planting flowers with her blessed little hands, doing what she likes, and when she's reading the Bible and thinking about God and Jesus, and when she's with you, Mark, happy. That's her real self. I adore it. Selves are sacred. You ought to adore them. Anybody's self. Catty's.... I used to wonder what the sin against the Holy Ghost was.
"It would take infinitely more courage to marry you. We should be risking more. All the beautiful things. If it wasn't for Mamma.... But there is Mamma. So you see." She thought: "He hasn't kissed me. He hasn't held me in his arms. He'll be all right. It won't hurt him." That was Catty's white apron. Catty stood on the cobbled square by the front door, looking for her.
"Take me into your bed, mother, I'm so cold! Let me into old Catty's place this once." She nodded, pleased, and, putting him to bed, soon followed him. When she held him snugly in her arms, the replenished fire making hot, flickering shadows from the next room, he whispered, "Next Christmas, mother! Only one year more!"
