Excerpt from Christmas Eve at Mulligan's
Rosie: Oh, katie, don't you want a doll for Christmas? I want one just awful, dreadful, terrible bad - not a bad dolly, but I want it SO bad that I just can't tell you how bad.
Katie: Now then, rosie, ain't you the naughty girl to be wanting a doll when dear dannie is trying to get his eyes well? I don't want anything if he can just be made to see, and you know that takes lots of money.
Rosie: Well, I guess I can wish for a dolly - wishing doesn't cost anything, does: it? 'course, I don't mean I want it bought for me; I just mean I want it. That isn't the same, not a bit.
Katie: Oh, I See! Well, I don't even want anything, only that dannie can get his eyes fixed. Just think, rosie, if he could come home able to look at us. Wouldn't that be grand, now?
