Sure, didn't we have each other bespoke ever since we could say a word
at all, an' what matter in the name of goodness, if ye haven't a penny
in your pocket? Haven't I plenty for the two of us? And sure, good
gracious, if me poor grandfather, God rest him! put ye in gaol for
what ye never done, isn't it me that ought to be ashamed an' not
yourself? There now, I'll never say another word to ye, good or bad,
if ye don't make up your mind at wanst an' lave off talkin' that
rubbish!"

corner of the stone bench and came close to Roseen, his face aglow
with happiness and his arms outstretched. And there they sat and
talked among the ruins till the birds flew twittering to roost and the
golden light faded from the hill-top: yet, as hand in hand they came
down the path and wandered homewards through the dewy grass, it seemed
to them that they still were walking in a glorified world.
