The
little
boy
cried
"
O
,
pa
!
"
and
ran
whimpering
round
the
table
,
but
the
man
followed
him
and
caught
him
by
the
coat
.
The
little
boy
looked
about
him
wildly
but
,
seeing
no
way
of
escape
,
fell
upon
his
knees
.
"
Now
,
you
'll
let
the
fire
out
the
next
time
!
"
said
the
man
striking
at
him
vigorously
with
the
stick
.
"
Take
that
,
you
little
whelp
!
"
The
boy
uttered
a
squeal
of
pain
as
the
stick
cut
his
thigh
.
He
clasped
his
hands
together
in
the
air
and
his
voice
shook
with
fright
.
"
O
,
pa
!
"
he
cried
.
"
Do
n't
beat
me
,
pa
!
And
I
'll
...
I
'll
say
a
Hail
Mary
for
you
...
.
I
'll
say
a
Hail
Mary
for
you
,
pa
,
if
you
do
n't
beat
me
...
.
I
'll
say
a
Hail
Mary
...

The
matron
had
given
her
leave
to
go
out
as
soon
as
the
women
's
tea
was
over
and
Maria
looked
forward
to
her
evening
out
.
The
kitchen
was
spick
and
span
:
the
cook
said
you
could
see
yourself
in
the
big
copper
boilers
.
The
fire
was
nice
and
bright
and
on
one
of
the
side-tables
were
four
very
big
barmbracks
.
These
barmbracks
seemed
uncut
;
but
if
you
went
closer
you
would
see
that
they
had
been
cut
into
long
thick
even
slices
and
were
ready
to
be
handed
round
at
tea
.
Maria
had
cut
them
herself
.
Maria
was
a
very
,
very
small
person
indeed
but
she
had
a
very
long
nose
and
a
very
long
chin
.
She
talked
a
little
through
her
nose
,
always
soothingly
:
"
Yes
,
my
dear
,
"
and
"
No
,
my
dear
.
"
She
was
always
sent
for
when
the
women
quarrelled
Over
their
tubs
and
always
succeeded
in
making
peace
.
One
day
the
matron
had
said
to
her
:
"
Maria
,
you
are
a
veritable
peace-maker
!
"
And
the
sub-matron
and
two
of
the
Board
ladies
had
heard
the
compliment
.
And
Ginger
Mooney
was
always
saying
what
she
would
n't
do
to
the
dummy
who
had
charge
of
the
irons
if
it
was
n't
for
Maria
.
Everyone
was
so
fond
of
Maria
.
The
women
would
have
their
tea
at
six
o'clock
and
she
would
be
able
to
get
away
before
seven
.
From
Ballsbridge
to
the
Pillar
,
twenty
minutes
;
from
the
Pillar
to
Drumcondra
,
twenty
minutes
;
and
twenty
minutes
to
buy
the
things
.
She
would
be
there
before
eight
.
She
took
out
her
purse
with
the
silver
clasps
and
read
again
the
words
A
Present
from
Belfast
.
She
was
very
fond
of
that
purse
because
Joe
had
brought
it
to
her
five
years
before
when
he
and
Alphy
had
gone
to
Belfast
on
a
Whit-Monday
trip
.
In
the
purse
were
two
half-crowns
and
some
coppers
.
She
would
have
five
shillings
clear
after
paying
tram
fare
.
What
a
nice
evening
they
would
have
,
all
the
children
singing
!
Only
she
hoped
that
Joe
would
n't
come
in
drunk
.
He
was
so
different
when
he
took
any
drink
.
