What's that, ma'am?
MRS. COTTER I wish for your own sake that you were in a country where you would get better paid for your work. HEAD (_satisfied_) Thank ye, ma'am. I suppose min like meself must wait till we go to the other world to get our reward. MRS. COTTER Very likely! HEAD Well, as I was sayin', I might be in America, or New York, Boston, Chicago, or any o' thim foreign places, an' you might be in this very house, or up in your sister's house, or takin' a walk down the town, an' I'd think o' some thought, an' at that very second you'd think o' the same thought, an' nayther of us would know that we were both thinkin' o' the same thing. That's tellepattery, ma'am. MRS. COTTER 'Tis a surprisin' thing, surely! Is it hot or cold you'll have the whiskey, Head? HEAD Cold, if ye please. |
