Excerpt: ...in a perfect imitation thereof. "Well, don't ye ever say it ag'in-do ye hear? Miss Peggie's American, and so's the House Surgeon, an' it's the next best thing to bein' Irish-which every one can't be, the Lord knows. Now them trusters is heathen, an' they don't know nothin' more'n heathen, an' we ought to be easy on 'em for bein' so ignorant." "They ken us 'll nae mair be gettin' weel," said Sandy, mournfully. "Aw, ye're talkin' foolish entirely. What do ye think that C on the door means?" A silence, significant of much brain-racking, followed. "C stands for children," announced Susan, triumphantly. "Aye, it does that, but there be's somethin' more." "Crutches," suggested Pancho, tentatively. "Aw, go on wid ye," laughed Bridget. "Ye're 'way off." She paused a moment impressively.

"Dinna ye ken the wee gray woman 'at cam creepity round an' smiled?" "She was nice," said Susan, with obvious approval. "Do ye think, now, she might ha' been me aunt?" A chorus of positive negation settled all further speculation, while Bridget bluntly inquired. "Honest to goodness, Susan, do ye think the likes o' ye could belong to the likes o' that?" Pancho broke the painful silence by reverting to the original topic in hand. "Mi' Peggie pleasant too," he suggested, smiling adorably. "But we've not got either of 'em no longer, so they're no good now," Peter unfortunately reminded every one. "Don't ye know there be's always somethin' pleasant to think about if ye just hunt round a bit, an' things an' feelin's never get that bad ye can't squeeze out some pleasantment.
