NOT A CLOUD IN THE sky, and, ruling all, a sweet sun, liberal in warmth and eager in brightness as its distance from the northern world decreased. As Mrs. Flynn entered the door of the post-office she sang out to Maximilian Cour, with a buoyant lilt: Oh, isn’t it the fun o’ the world to be alive!
The tailor over the way heard it, and lifted his head with a smile; Rosalie Evanturel, behind the postal wicket, heard it, and her face swam with colour. Rosalie busied herself with the letters and papers for a moment before she answered Mrs. Flynn’s greeting, for there were ringing in her ears the words she herself had said a few days before: It is good to live, isn’t it?
To-day it was so good to live that life seemed an endless being and a tireless happy doing—a gift of labour, an inspiring daytime, and a rejoicing sleep. Exaltation, a painful joy, and a wide embarrassing wonderment possessed her. She met Mrs. Flynn’s face at the wicket with shining eyes and a timid smile.
Ah, there y’are, darlin’!
said Mrs. Flynn. And how’s the dear father to-day?
He seems about the same, thank you.
Ah, that’s foine. Shure, if we could always be ‘about the same,’ we’d do. True for you, darlin’, ‘tis as you say. If ould Mary Flynn could be always
bout the same,’ the clods o’ the valley would never cover her bones. But there ‘tis—we’re here to-day, and away tomorrow. Shure, though, I am not complainin’. Not I—not Mary Flynn. Teddy Flynn used to say to me, says he: ‘Niver born to know distress! Happy as worms in a garden av cucumbers. Seventeen years in this country, Mary,’ says he, ‘an’ nivir in the pinitintiary yet.’ There y’are. Ah, the birds do be singin’ to-day! ‘Tis good! ‘Tis good, darlin’! You’ll not mind Mary Flynn callin’ you darlin’, though y’are postmistress, an’ ‘ll be more than that—more than that wan day—or Mary Flynn’s a fool. Aye, more than that y’ll be, darlin’, and y’re eyes like purty brown topazzes and y’re cheeks like roses-shure, is there anny lether for Mary Flynn, darlin’?" she hastily added as she saw the Seigneur standing in the doorway. He had evidently been listening.
Ye didn’t hear what y’re ould fool of a cook was sayin’,
she added to the Seigneur, as Rosalie shook her head and answered: No letters, Madame—dear.
Rosalie timidly added the dear, for there was something so great-hearted in Mrs. Flynn that she longed to clasp her round the neck, longed as she had never done in her life to lay her head upon some motherly breast and pour out her heart. But it was not to be now. Secrecy was her duty still.
"Can’t ye speak to y’re ould
