Patterson has gone to the tin-mine," he said, getting up and coming forward; "he will not be home till to-morrow." Idy grasped the casing so tightly that her knuckles shone white and polished. "My fawther's got a hem'ridge," she said, swallowing after the words. "I don't know what on earth to do." "A hemorrhage!" said the young man with kindly sympathy.
Mrs. Dryfoos came down for the ceremony. She understood that it was for Coonrod's sake that his father wished the funeral to be there; and she confided to Mrs. March that she believed Coonrod would have been pleased. "Coonrod was a member of the 'Piscopal Church; and fawther's doin' the whole thing for Coonrod as much as for anybody. He thought the world of Coonrod, fawther did.

"You don't know wher' my fawther's got his money," said Jonathan. This was stated so much like a dare that Robert yearned to retort that he did know, too.

Major O'Dowd declared was not near so large or handsome as her fawther's mansion of Glenmalony, an officer of rank, with an orderly behind him, rode up to the market, and descending from his horse, came amongst the flowers, and selected the very finest bouquet which money could buy.

Captain Macmanus talk about 'I-ah-land, and her account of her 'fawther's esteet? Very few men have rubbed through the world without hearing and witnessing some of these Hibernian phenomena these twopenny splendours.
"The rooms are not lawge," the lady said, "but they are furnished with the things I brought from my fawther's house in Virginia. My fawther was Judge Burford, of the Burford family of England. There's a Lord Burford in England, we always heard. It is a very old family." She looked as if she found a vague comfort in the statement, and Tom did not begrudge it to her.
It was a wonder how any of the family still lived out of the hulks. Me brother Tim had brought his fawther's gree hairs with sorrow to the greeve; me brother Mick had robbed the par'sh church repaytedly; me sisther Annamaroia had jilted the Captain and run off with the Ensign, forged her grandmother's will, and stole the spoons, which Larry the knife-boy was hanged for.
Fawther's took wiv the jumps, I hear, and Alb's gone to the Pav to give her hair. Oh, the fine gentleming I seed his poor toes through his bloomin' boots this night, s'welp me Gawd I did."
