At such moments she falls again unconsciously into the "thens," and "sures," and "ohs!" and "ahs!" of her Ireland.,"How in the world could you answer her so pat?" she asked, twinkling at Judith's superior air.，"And what color becomes you? Blue? that would suit your eyes, and it was blue you used to wear last month."，"You are cruel, cruel, John Moore, and I hate you worse than I ever did before, if that is possible. I'm hungry, hungry to death, and now you've spoiled it all! Go away before I wet this nice crisp bread and jam with tears, and turn it into a pulp I'll have to eat with a spoon. You don't know what it is to want something sweet so bad you are willing to steal it—from yourself!"

Down there I see a piskun; you must kill plenty of buffalo and must have good food.""Bear up!" he said gently. "Presently we will discuss the matter calmly. God is good, and this blow may not prove nearly so heavy as we now think it."
