They did not like to say, "It's your fault", so they only shook their heads.
Presently Walsh said: "There's a boat missin'." Bridget screamed, and began to beat her breast and clap her hands.
"Whisht! will you," said the boatman.

"We're bad enough without that.

Give us peace to think a bit.

If they were drowned they would ha' been washed in by this.

The early tide would ha' brought them, for the boat couldn't carry them far without upsettin'." "I'll run away! I'll run away!" shouted Bridget.
"Run then," said Lally.
