Oh, too quick for you I be. Speaking I am like Yoda. Chapter more coming
soon if review you do. Stop talking like this I can't. Deep shit I be in
now.
Ok.sorry for that momentary lapse of sanity.they pop up at the most inconvenient times.
*singing a la Broadway*
Let's goooooo, on with the-SHOW!
"Any luck?" Alannah asked her brother as he walked in the door the next day. He looked tired and disheveled as he flung himself into the chair.
"Naw, not today darling," Kevin replied wearily. "But I'm sure your sista found somethin."
That was not the case however. Ashling was having the same problem Kevin was. Yes there were plenty of jobs around, but no one would hire them because they were Irish. It's sad yet true, but the prejudice was undeniable. Ashling was walking home when she saw a big crowd of guys ahead. She started to walk through the crowd when one of them spoke up and said,
"Now what do we have heah boys?"
Faces turned to see whom the boy was talking about. Then he jumped down off the rail and walked over to Ashling.
"Hey doll face," he started. "What's going on?"
A smug smirk covered the boys face. She didn't like the look of the boy.
Ashling tried to walk right around the boy, who seemed to be the leader of the band of the rest of them. The leader however, stopped her.
"Where you goin? Let me introduce myself. Da names Spot Conlon."
The boy gave a little bow. The crowd laughed a little. Ashling's eyes flamed. Her inner Irish roots were starting to take over. Her temper was building up. She knew that if she didn't get out then, she'd let it loose. She tried to walk around the Spot character, but again, he stopped her.
"C'mon," he smirked. "Wheres da fire? Why don't we talk a while?" Catcalls and whoops came from the crowd.
Again Ashling just tried to push her way around Spot. Unsuccessfully of course.
"Hey, don't you know who I am?" he asked flashing a smile.
"Yes! I reckon I ken who you happen to be!" Ashling snarled at Spot. He was taken aback, "Yer some famous street rat I suppose. Well I got some news for you then." She was just getting started," I don't care if you're the King of England- GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
And with that, Ashling pushed her way around Spot, who spun around and grabbed her arm and said," No one, NO ONE, talks to Spot Conlon like that."
Ashling turned around, as cool as can be, and as sweetly and politely as her voice could be, she replied, "I believe I just did. Good day sir."
With that, she gave a little curtsied, turned around, flicked her fiery hair behind her, and headed straight home, not once looking back to see the reaction. She was too busy blowing off steam so her siblings wouldn't worry about what had happened.

"Did you find a job?" Kevin asked as Ashling walked into the room.
"Nay, you?" she countered.
"No, but I have an idea to what I could do. I could sell newspapers." Kevin suggested. "I saw a bunch of guys doing it today, and they make a fair pay."
"That sounds promising, but what could I do?" Ashling asked.
"You could sell papers too," suggested Alannah. "I'm old enough to stay here by myself with Cara..."
"I donnea ken that's a good idea.." started Ashling.
"Come on!" Cara said. "We need the money!"
"Well..."
"I think they can handle it by themselves," Kevin said winking at his sisters. "Besides, we only sell during the morning."
"Och, ok, as long as you two lasses stay inside."
"Yes!" the younger girls cried.
"OK, I'll go try and find one of them newsboys, and ask them where they get their papers from," Kevin said as he was walking out the door. __________________________
