Pat came down, clothed and in her right mind once more.
Judy had a whole turkey
stowed away,as well as the pot of soup. She niver hilt up her head quite sohigh
agin, poor ould leddy.
Everybody go back and sit down, she ordered. Tillytuck,
realising that he was out of favour,went off to the granary.
Joe hasnt come
after all and Ive me ownopinion as to what previnted him. But nobody seemed to
have dyspepsia at that Christmas table.
He did be trying to get up the granary
stips .
That looking glass wasnt like otherlooking glasses.
Hope died hard in
the matter of Joe but the days passed without anyword of him or his ship. Niver
wasSilver Bush in inny such predicament Im telling ye.
Everybody go back and
sit down, she ordered. You made the bed as nicely as any onecould but the extra
blankets have to be put on.
Pat looked wistfully up the hill tothe Long House
