And Andy Fitch smiled back, crushed down the ashes in
his pipe with brown finger and started off free and easy:

foOlishness.
You're sttin', Tommy, where score of Pitches
has sat before you, used to say. The Pitches have
nothn to be ashamed of. They've done their best by
Ireland, and you'll do the same, Tommy, me son.
When it my turn, you'll walk proud boss of these
good twenty Yes, Tommy, and one day you'll
carry brave lump of boy in under this same oak;

and you'll own the broad country over

But what use in talkin'
to young blades? A goslin'
of twenty thinks he knows
everythin' until he's older.
1t was dreams for Tommy.
He wanted better wear
than homespuns and cord
uroys. He wanted more
changes than a linen collar
on Sundays, with tweed
coat and trousers out of the
chest of drawers, and
blackenin' on his boots, for
the jog behind the chestnut
mare to the church squat
tin in the poplars. No
world for Tommy herea-
bouts, and away he goes,
Davy. Away he goes to
find his world, leavin' his
father to live in his world.
What was the use of it?
You yourself, Davy, have
come back over the sea
from Tommy's world, and
it may be in your mind to
call Andy Fitch an old fash
Toned sort. And you might
be right in dom it; but,
right or wrong, l can't help
thinkin' it wouldn't do the
world any harm if one or
a couple of us old fashioned
fathers happened to have
oldfashioned sons. Twenty
acres was nothin' to Tom
my; but many's the good
man has done his very best
for the world on less. And
I'd like to know if it was
dom wrong to Tommy for
his father to ruckle along
kind of contented like, with
one eye on the signs of
spring and autumn and the
other eye on the chances of
clouds for good fishin'. l
never grumble at the
clouds, Davy, when there's
a trout in the brook.

haste in worryin'. 1t was
