Come, child, come.
TERESA [impatiently]. Oh, sure I'm coming. [She tries to smile at
Denny, not very convincingly, and hurries into the house.]
O'FLAHERTY [alone]. And if I do get a pension itself, the divil a
penny of it you'll ever have the spending of.
MRS O'FLAHERTY [as she comes from the porch]. Oh, it's a shame
for you to keep the girl from her juties, Dinny. You might get
her into trouble.
O'FLAHERTY. Much I care whether she gets into trouble or not! I
pity the man that gets her into trouble. He'll get himself into
worse.
MRS O'FLAHERTY. What's that you tell me? Have you been falling
out with her, and she a girl with a fortune of ten pounds?
O'FLAHERTY. Let her keep her fortune. I wouldn't touch her with
the tongs if she had thousands and millions.
MRS O'FLAHERTY. Oh fie for shame, Dinny! why would you say the
like of that of a decent honest girl, and one of the Driscolls
too?
O'FLAHERTY. Why wouldn't I say it? She's thinking of nothing but
to get me out there again to be wounded so that she may spend my
pension, bad scran to her!
MRS O'FLAHERTY.
