Reilly, to be the bearer of bad news; but as the knowledge of it may be serviceable to you or your lawyers, I think I ought to mention it to you." "Pray, what is it?" asked Reilly. "Why, sir, it is said to be a fact that the Cooleen Bawn has proved false and treacherous, and is coming this day to bear her testimony against you."
When we were again alone my godmother poured out the tea, smiling at me across the cups. "We must not talk any more of the old, unhappy, far-off things," she said. "You have heard enough, little Bawn; only take warning by the sins and follies of your elders. Do not quarrel with Theobald, thinking there is time to make up."
"Which goes to show," he insisted, "that the song, 'If you work, if you wait, you will find the place, is all a delusion and a snare. You all have worked, and Eugenia and I have waited, and only you, who are 'bawn lucky, have found any. It's pure luck."
The strange, and ahem kind of man you are called upon to meet now is one of our bishops but don't you pretend to know that he has heard of your love for the Cooleen Bawn, and of her love for you be easy now not a thing it will be but the meeting of two thunderbolts between you and he's afraid you'll be deluded by her charms turn apostate on our hands and that the first thing you're likely to do, when you get out of this subterranean palace of ours, will be to betray its existence to the heretics.
And I hope you'll make him happy. Don't believe anything the people say about him. He has a good heart, like his mother. He's been good to me. Sure, if he wasn't strong for the two of us, I'd have had no stren'th at all, though I promised you, Miss Bawn. Many a day when I sat by little Katty, and the other children were at school and the place quiet I thought I'd have to run out of it to him.
"I tell you, suh, the color of a man's skin don't make much diffe'ence sometimes. Chad was bawn a gentleman, and he'll never get over it."
Of course she was always an early riser, though she would have me lie late a-bed when I stayed with her, saying it was good for young people to sleep. The doors and windows of Castle Clody were always open to the fresh air; and as I went in by the open hall door I saw my godmother coming down the stairs. "Why, bless me, it is Bawn!" she said. "What brings you so early, child?
I larned thet lesson airly; 'n' I allers make 'em write aout on a paper, jest ther wedth er every stripe, 'n' each er ther colors, so's they kin see it's what they ordered; 'r else they'd allers say I hedn't wove 't's I wuz told ter. I got ketched thet way oncet! I allow ennybody's a bawn fool gits ketched twice runnin' ther same way.
Pretty soon they all came out with the President of the company in front. "Good-morning, Captain O'Donnell Captain Marrs, good-morning. How do you do, Maurice? Captain O'Donnell, take it from me as official, your insurance on the Colleen Bawn is safe. For the honor and glory of old Gloucester go ahead and sink her." "And the Lucy Foster?" asked Wesley. "And the Lucy Foster, Captain Marrs."
You's a nigger! bawn a nigger and a slave! en you's a nigger en a slave dis minute; en if I opens my mouf ole Marse Driscoll'll sell you down de river befo' you is two days older den what you is now!" "It's a thundering lie, you miserable old blatherskite!" "It ain't no lie, nuther. It's just de truth, en nothin' but de truth, so he'p me. Yassir you's my son " "You devil!"
