the Pacific steamer, and are
going to have an Irish marriage tomorrow morning at Belfast--'"
"So they're a Co. consarn already," said Davy.
"'Good-by! Give your Manx sailor one kiss for me--'"
"Do it!" cried Davy. "Do it! What you've got to do only once you ought
to do it well."
Then they became conscious that a smaller and dumpier figure was
standing in the darkness by the side of Willie. It was Peggy Quine.
"Are you longing, Peggy?" Willie was saying in a voice of melancholy
sympathy.
And Peggy was answering in a doleful tone, "Aw, yes, though--longing
mortal."
Becoming conscious that the eyes of her mistress were on her, Peggy
stepped out and said, "If you plaze, ma'am, the carriage is waiting this
half-hour."
"Then send it away again," said Davy.
"But the boxes is packed, sir----"
"Send it away," repeated Davy.
"No, no," said Nelly; "we must go home to-night."
"To-morrow morning," shouted Davy, with a stamp of his foot and a laugh.
"But I have paid the bill," said Nelly, "and everything is arranged, and
we are all ready."
"To-morrow morning," thundered Davy, with another stamp of the foot and
a peal of laughter.
And Davy had his way.
