The Priest Quotes in First Confession
“What are you doing up there?” he shouted in an angry voice,
“What’s all this about,” the priest hissed, getting angrier than ever and pushing Nora off me. “How dare you hit the child like that you little vixen?”
“Oh,” he said respectfully, “a big hefty fellow like you must have terrible sins…”
It only stood to reason that a fellow confessing after seven years would have more to tell than people that went every week…It was only what he expected, and the rest was the cackle of old women and girls with their talk of Hell, the Bishop and penitential psalms.
“Is that the little girl that was beating you just now?” he asked.
“’Tis, father,” I said.
“Someone will go for her with a bread-knife one day, and he won’t miss her,” he said, rather cryptically.
“Oh a horrible death!” he said with great satisfaction. “Lots of the fellows I saw killed their grandmothers too, but they all said ‘twas never worth it.”
