CHRISTY.
Christopher Mahon.
MICHAEL.
Well, God bless you, Christy, and a good rest till we meet again when the sun’ll be rising to the noon of day.
CHRISTY.
God bless you all.
MEN.
God bless you. [They go out except Shawn, who lingers at door.]
SHAWN.
to Pegeen.—Are you wanting me to stop along with you and keep you from harm?
PEGEEN.
gruffly.—Didn’t you say you were fearing Father Reilly?
SHAWN.
There’d be no harm staying now, I’m thinking, and himself in it too.
PEGEEN.
You wouldn’t stay when there was need for you, and let you step off nimble this time when there’s none.
SHAWN.
Didn’t I say it was Father Reilly....
PEGEEN.
Go on, then, to Father Reilly (in a jeering tone), and let him put you in the holy brotherhoods, and leave that lad to me.
