Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Long Ever Ago Mrs. Murphy wanted to discuss especially her boy Thady´s infatuation for Minnie O´Fee, a high-headed, cool-souled, laughing railing thing, and very crool to Thady, who was meek and solemn with hardly a laugh in him, one of those unusual creatures, a frightenable Irishman. "That O´Fee gerl is what they call the icy Irish," Mrs. Murphy was saying, "and thinks herself too good for my poor Thady, who has a heart cookin´ in him that´s that warrum you would think it was a sod of turf was under it." It was this that had started the old man from his apparent sleep. "An O´Fee puttin´ herself above a Murphy, did you say?" he croaked. Mrs. Murphy tried to keep him out by a mild disclaimer: "It´s not so much that she puts the O´Fees higher, pa, but that she puts us Murphys lower. But, as I´m tellin´ you, Delia -" "Who is it puts the Murphys down?" the old man shrilled. "Bring her here and I´ll tell her who the Murphys are." "Yes, pa, sure and I will that. And, Delia, what I stairted to say was -" "What country did the O´Fees iver save, will you tell me that?" Terence demanded. Then he laid claim to the rescue of the country from destruction, and Mrs. Morahan, who had never heard the story, brought his wrath about her by her skepticism. Mrs. Murphy rescued her from the old man´s one story by beckoning her out into the kitchen. And there they found the boy Thady slumped in a chair and absentmindedly peeling potatoes. His thoughts were so far away that he had cut his thumb and did not know it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
