You
are
Irish
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
"
if
I
am
not
mistaken
,
"
warmly
grasping
the
outstretched
hand
of
the
colonist
.
"
I
was
,
"
replied
Paddy
O'Moore
,
"
but
now
I
am
Australian
.
Come
in
,
gentlemen
,
whoever
you
may
be
,
this
house
is
yours
.
"
It
was
impossible
not
to
accept
an
invitation
given
with
such
grace
.
Lady
Helena
and
Mary
Grant
were
led
in
by
Mrs.
O'Moore
,
while
the
gentlemen
were
assisted
by
his
sturdy
sons
to
disencumber
themselves
of
their
fire-arms
.
An
immense
hall
,
light
and
airy
,
occupied
the
ground
floor
of
the
house
,
which
was
built
of
strong
planks
laid
horizontally
.
A
few
wooden
benches
fastened
against
the
gaily-colored
walls
,
about
ten
stools
,
two
oak
chests
on
tin
mugs
,
a
large
long
table
where
twenty
guests
could
sit
comfortably
,
composed
the
furniture
,
which
looked
in
perfect
keeping
with
the
solid
house
and
robust
inmates
.
The
noonday
meal
was
spread
;
the
soup
tureen
was
smoking
between
roast
beef
and
a
leg
of
mutton
,
surrounded
by
large
plates
of
olives
,
grapes
,
and
oranges
.
The
necessary
was
there
and
there
was
no
lack
of
the
superfluous
.
The
host
and
hostess
were
so
pleasant
,
and
the
big
table
,
with
its
abundant
fare
,
looked
so
inviting
,
that
it
would
have
been
ungracious
not
to
have
seated
themselves
.
The
farm
servants
,
on
equal
footing
with
their
master
,
were
already
in
their
places
to
take
their
share
of
the
meal
.
Paddy
O'Moore
pointed
to
the
seats
reserved
for
the
strangers
,
and
said
to
Glenarvan
:
"
I
was
waiting
for
you
.
"
"
Waiting
for
us
!
"
replied
Glenarvan
in
a
tone
of
surprise
.
"
I
am
always
waiting
for
those
who
come
,
"
said
the
Irishman
;
and
then
,
in
a
solemn
voice
,
while
the
family
and
domestics
reverently
stood
,
he
repeated
the
BENEDICITE
.
Dinner
followed
immediately
,
during
which
an
animated
conversation
was
kept
up
on
all
sides
.
From
Scotch
to
Irish
is
but
a
handsbreadth
.
The
Tweed
,
several
fathoms
wide
,
digs
a
deeper
trench
between
Scotland
and
England
than
the
twenty
leagues
of
Irish
Channel
,
which
separates
Old
Caledonia
from
the
Emerald
Isle
.
Paddy
O'Moore
related
his
history
.
It
was
that
of
all
emigrants
driven
by
misfortune
from
their
own
country
.
Many
come
to
seek
fortunes
who
only
find
trouble
and
sorrow
,
and
then
they
throw
the
blame
on
chance
,
and
forget
the
true
cause
is
their
own
idleness
and
vice
and
want
of
commonsense
.
Whoever
is
sober
and
industrious
,
honest
and
economical
,
gets
on
.
