"I think, girleen," said Kenny, intuitional as always, "that he fears to write, thinking of course you are still at the farm and would try to tempt him back. And I haven't a doubt he's set his teeth and vowed not to come to you until he's made good." As indeed he had. After that, save for a wistful moment now and then, she seemed content, trusting Brian.
"Trust the girleen for that," said the Squire, and then they rose from table. "Ellen," he continued, addressing his wife, "have you and Terence done colloguing together? for I hear Black Bess coming to the front door." "Oh, hasten, mother; hasten!" said Nora. "The mare won't stand waiting; she is so fresh she is just ready to fly." The next few moments witnessed a scene of considerable bustle.
Why, if you know how to manage, and with my help I dare say I can contrive it for you, you'll get easily into the very height of Dublin society, and be petted, and spoiled, and coaxed no end. I wonder, now, how that girleen is conducting herself.
"She was in Brannigan's last night, buying peppermint drops and every kind of foolishness, the same as she might be a little girleen that was given a penny and her just out of school." "If she hasn't more sense at her time of life," said Kinsella, "she never will." "Seeing it's that sort she is, I wouldn't say we'd any need to be caring where she goes so long as it isn't to Inishbawn."
"Sure, then, I take yez for what you are," said the man "as fine and purty a slip of a girleen as ever dwelt in the old Castle; but be yez twice as purty, and be yez twice as fine, Andy Neil is not the man to forget his word, his sworn word, his oath taken to the powers above and the powers below, that if his bit of a roof is taken off his head, why, them as does it shall suffer.
And she came flying wildly across the room to his arms, sobbing out her grief and remorse. "Oh, Kenny, Kenny." she sobbed. "I want you both." His shaking arms sheltered her. A heart-broken child! He must remember that. And, as Don said, he could have been her father. "Happiness with the least unhappiness to others, girleen," he reminded with his cheek against her hair. "Remember?"
"It was my mother told me about it, and she knew, for many's the time she did be playing with the young lads, her being no more than a little girleen at the time. Seven of them there was, and the second eldest was the one age with my mother. That was after herself left him." "Herself" was vague enough; but I did not venture to ask another question.
The women of your house never stooped to a shabby action, Nora; and never one of them sacrificed her honor for gold or anything else; and the men were brave, girleen, very brave, and had never fear in one of them. You remember that, and keep yourself upright and brave and proud, and come back to the old dad with as pure and loving a heart as you have now." "Oh, father, of course, of course.
"I declare I feel a bit tired. Come along here, Nora, and cheer me up. What news have you this evening, little woman?" "Oh, father! don't you know?" "Well, your eyes look bright enough. What is it, girleen?" "I am going away to Dublin to-morrow." "You? Bless you! so you are," said the Squire, with a hearty laugh. "Upon my soul I forgot all about it.
What's in your mind, girleen?" "Oh, I'm so glad you think so too! Kenny " "Yes?" "Do you know Jan's cousin, the pretty girl who's a model? I know that doesn't sound at all as if it had anything to do with the farm but it has. Jan's cousin said I hardly know how to tell you, Kenny. I don't think I like telephones. If I could see your face " "I'm wearing my guardian's face!" "Oh!"
