| But you will see for yourself, and talk things over with Your old friend, biddy. |
|
| It wouldn't be biddy if she weren't ingratiating herself with some one! |
|
| But, biddy thought we must wait till Wretched was off his guard. |
|
| I would have answered, but a look from biddy enjoined silence. |
|
| Without Biddy, I should wish but to howl at the sunset, as a dog bays the moon. |
|
| The teapot having taken to leaking, as Biddy said, she had made the tea in the potheen jug. |
|
| These men were dressed as their ancestors had dressed in the time of Abraham, and Biddy and I envied them. |
|
| Biddy, git the creamer from the well and give the genl'man a glass of milk. |
|
| Biddy was the very pink of pugnacity, and could throw in a body blow, or plant a facer, with singular energy and science. |
|
| Biddy had learned to cook them properly, when they appeared dry and floury. |
|
| A cute old soul was Biddy, and extensive the knowledge experience had given her of the pregnable points of general character. |
|
| As Tom Haggin had so often bragged of Biddy and Terrence, they bred true in Jerry and Michael in the matter of not wincing at a blow. |
|
| The assault is alleged to have happened at Biddy Mulligans pub in the city's Grassmarket in December. |
|
| So, I kissed his hand, and lay quiet, while he proceeded to indite a note to Biddy, with my love in it. |
|
| Oh, Biddy, Biddy, your darlint is going to be kilt entoirely! |
|
| On a moderate computation, it was many months, that Sunday, since I had left Joe and Biddy. |
|
| This part of the Course was usually lightened by several single combats between Biddy and refractory students. |
|
| Biddy, who was the most obliging of girls, immediately said she would, and indeed began to carry out her promise within five minutes. |
|
| Biddy darted off to an adjoining room, leaving me alone with my employer. |
|
| Biddy, wise with previous bitter bereavements, had sat down on the edge of the sand, her fore-feet in the water, and was mouthing her woe. |
|
|
|
| Biddy turned her face suddenly towards mine, and looked far more attentively at me than she had looked at the sailing ships. |
|
| I had fenced lightly, knowing that Biddy liked a man who could laugh. |
|
| Biddy had made up too large a fire in the stove and heated the flue. |
|
| And Biddy must know that it was a heaven-sent chance for the girl. |
|
| Don't suppose that I mean to be unkind, Biddy, when I say I consider that you ought to have thought that. |
|
| Biddy, looking very neat and modest in her black dress, went quietly here and there, and was very helpful. |
|
| At the top of the worn stone stairway, cut in the pylon, I met Biddy. |
|
| And did not Biddy trace to Erin, mother and star of the breed, through a long descendant out of Breda Mixer, herself an ancestress of Breda Muddler? |
|
| As the six evenings had dwindled away, to five, to four, to three, to two, I had become more and more appreciative of the society of Joe and Biddy. |
|
| Biddy looked thoughtfully at it, heard my explanation, looked thoughtfully at my sister, looked thoughtfully at Joe, and ran into the forge, followed by Joe and me. |
|
| Biddy giv' herself a deal o' trouble with me afore I left, as I should view it in this light, and, viewing it in this light, as I should so put it. |
|
| After all, I remained up there, repeatedly unlocking and unstrapping my small portmanteau and locking and strapping it up again, until Biddy called to me that I was late. |
|
| The last I saw of them was, when I presently heard a scuffle behind me, and looking back, saw Joe throwing an old shoe after me and Biddy throwing another old shoe. |
|
| Not, however, until Biddy had imparted to me everything she knew, from the little catalogue of prices, to a comic song she had once bought for a halfpenny. |
|
| As often as I was restless in the night, and that was every quarter of an hour, I reflected what an unkindness, what an injury, what an injustice, Biddy had done me. |
|
| But, it was only the pleasanter to turn to Biddy and to Joe, whose great forbearance shone more brightly than before, if that could be, contrasted with this brazen pretender. |
