While ye are unhappy, Mary will be also.

We are responsible to God for her, and between us, she is empty armed, near to death, and almost dumb with misery.

I have juist sworn to her on the cross she loves that if she will make ane more effort, and get well, we will make her happy.

Now, how are we going to do it ?" Another great groan burst from Jimmy, and he shivered as if with a chill.
"Let us look ourselves in the face," Dannie went on, "and see what we lack.

What can we do fra her?
What will bring a song to her lips, licht to her beautiful eyes, love to her heart, and a living child to her arms?
Wake up, mon! By God, if ye dinna set to work with me and solve this problem, I'll shake a solution out of ye! What I must suffer is my own, but what's the matter with ye, and why, when she loved and married ye, are ye breakin' Mary's heart?
Answer me, mon!" Dannie reached over and snatched the hat from Jimmy's forehead, and stared at an inert heap.
