Where's my Irish heart?
Did I leave it at home, or did I bring it with me to America ?" "If you will not take it, Michael----" "I won't." "If you won't, I will say no more about it," replied Katy, as she returned the watch to her pocket.

"You have got a very kind heart, and I shall never forget you as long as I live." Katy, after glancing at the portrait of the roguish lady that hung in the room, took leave of Michael, and hastened home.

On her way, she could not banish the generous servant from her mind.

She could not understand why he should be so much interested in her as to offer the use of all he had; and she was obliged to attribute it all to the impulses of a kind heart.

If she had been a little older, she might have concluded that the old maxim, slightly altered would explain the reason: "Like mistress, like man," that the atmosphere of kindness and charity that pervaded the house had inspired even the servants.
"Where have you been, Katy ?" asked Mrs.Redburn, as she entered the sick chamber, and Mrs.Sneed hastened home.
"I have been to Mrs.Gordon." "What for ?" Katy did not like to tell.
