_Darby:_ Of his blood now?
_Taig:_ A relation I have, that is full up of money and of every whole thing. _Darby:_ A relation? _Taig:_ A first cousin, by the side of the mother. _Darby:_ Well, I am not without having a first cousin of my own. _Taig:_ I wouldn't think he'd be much. To be listening to my mother giving out a report of my one's ways, you would maybe believe it is no empty skin of a man he is. _Darby:_ My own mother was not without giving out a report of my man's ways. _Taig:_ Did she see him? _Darby:_ She did, I suppose, or the thing was near him. She never was tired talking of him. _Taig:_ It is often my own mother would have Dermot pictured to myself. _Darby:_ It is often the likeness of Timothy was laid down to me by the teaching of my mother's mouth, since I was able to walk the floor. She thought the whole world of him. |
