Sarah\nwould discover him lying in same out-of-the-way corner with a strange\nrapt look on his face as he listened to the rushing noise, like a\ntiny waterfall in his head* \"Water, mammy,\" he would say, \"water,\" and\npress his fresh young cheek against hers, but his mother could never\nhear the water, and eventually as he became used to it, he ceased to\nmention it any more.\n\nHe was a swift inquisitive child, strong limbed, with fair reddish\nhair and dark eyes. He had Frank\u2019s short square fingers, and in those\nunguarded moments when the initiated claim to perceive the parentage, he\nshowed a resemblance to the younger brother. He spent most of his time\nwith Hamilton in the outhouses among the animals or in the fields, and\nsometimes, as he considered some childish task his face would take the\nsome pondering look, and he would splay his tiny legs as the man splayed\nhis.\n\nIt was a great day in Hathard when his third birthday arrived and\nhe discarded his petticoats for ever and was buttoned into his first\nknee-breeches. Sarah invited Agnes and Petie for the great ocassion,\nand Hamilton, who carried the message to Knoeknadreemally, suggested\nto Agnes that she might bring young Con Dineen with her, now a boy of\nfour. But when the old couple arrived they were alone. \"Did ye no\nfetch Owen\u2019s wean?\u201d asked Hamilton as they came into the kitchen.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
