Merrow is the Irish name for seafolk; indeed, it properly means a mermaid. And Jack, you know, lived in a fairy tale, and not in lodgings at a watering-place on the south coast; so he saw his Merrow, though we never saw Shriny. I do not think any of the after-history of the Merrow is equal to Mr.
'It's nothing else, says she, quite carelessly; 'I'm just sending word home to my father not to be waiting breakfast for me; just to keep him from being uneasy in his mind. 'And who's your father, my duck? said Dick. 'What! said the Merrow, 'did you never hear of my father? he's the king of the waves to be sure!
When the Merrow saw that her little diving-cap was gone, the salt tears doubly salt, no doubt, from her came trickling down her cheeks, and she began a low mournful cry with just the tender voice of a new-born infant. Dick, although he knew well enough what she was crying for, determined to keep the cohuleen driuth, let her cry never so much, to see what luck would come out of it.
The Merrow did not seem much displeased at this mode of conversation; and making an end of her whining all at once, 'Man, says she, looking up in Dick Fitzgerald's face; 'man, will you eat me? 'By all the red petticoats and check aprons between Dingle and Tralee, cried Dick, jumping up in amazement, 'I'd as soon eat myself, my jewel! Is it I eat you, my pet?
''Tis a feather bed I was speaking of; but, clearly, yours is the very cut of a decent plan to have bed and supper so handy to each other, that a person when they'd have the one need never ask for the other. However, bed or no bed, money or no money, Dick Fitzgerald determined to marry the Merrow, and the Merrow had given her consent.
One night, to keep the rum from troubling his head, he told them the story of Jack Dogherty and the Merrow, which is well known on the western coast. The Merrow takes Jack to dinner at the bottom of the sea, and shows him the lobster pots wherein he keeps the souls of old sailormen, and then they have dinner, and the Merrow produces a big bottle of rum.
Now, 'twas some ugly ill-looking thief of a fish put that notion into your own pretty head, with the nice green hair down upon it, that is so cleanly combed out this morning! 'Man, said the Merrow, 'what will you do with me if you won't eat me?
"I presume she's fond of my nephew, Billy Merrow." "I hope so. Billy rather teased her into that engagement, you know. She's too young to be deeply in love unless it was with one romantic. And Billy isn't that. I'm not sure that there isn't trouble ahead for him." "Then I shall let him worry through it himself. I've got other things to think about."
I followed the newcomer and got into the driver's seat, whereupon Madame introduced me. The moment she opened her lips I knew she was American, and also from her speech and expressions I knew that she was a crook who moved in good society. "We'll drive through Merrow and over to Hindhead," Houston said. "We'd better avoid the High Street of Guildford, for the police might possibly spot the car.
The night being cold, a cheerful fire burned on the hearth, beside which she sat down and waited. When he was shown in, about half-past eight, it seemed to her best not to rise to receive him. Something in her repose, or in her dignity, gave him the impression of arriving before a tribunal, and he began his explanations almost from the doorway. "I got your note. Young Merrow caught me at dinner.
