Show Riley's Homecoming. It had been a distressingly hot day. Riley returned home thoroughly exhausted ex-hausted after a hard day's work and found his better half peeved and also tired out after putting the greater part of the day in at the washtub. She was, however, at the time he entered, seated, fanning herself vigorously. "Ain't ye got no supper?" he asked, somewhat angrily. "Supper, is it?'' she asked. "Go on wid ye. Me all tired out from a hard day's wurruk in the hate an' you come i home an' ask for yer supper. Bad cess to ye. Ye would cook no supper either if ye had to wurruk all day in the devil's own furnace. Aisy, indade for you, all day down in a nice cool sewer! "Harper's Magazine. |
