They are having quite the first night in America. Β Not turning out quite the way they had hoped.

Thank you.
He is very worried. Β He's worried that he's not going to be able to keep these kids warm enough, he's worried that he made the wrong descision bringing them all here. Β What if he can't find a job? Β There were certainly a lot of those "No Irish Need Apply" signs everywhere. Β He is an optimist, but how can he help worrying with two kids spending the night under a bridge?

Clancy is resourceful and so are the children. I'm sure they will.

Oh no. This just breaks my heart...Β Β The poor dears. The dull color you chose really sets the appropriate mood.

It is certainly not a good night for them. He's trying his best to keep them warm but its not easy.

Oh dear. I guess they didn't have enough to buy a night, right?
Poor guys. It really sucks to be out in the cold, especially if you're underdressed.

Unfortunately they did not. He did look for work. But it was their first day off the boat and they just had no luck finding anything.

Nope.....sadly not yet. At least he had enough to buy them a warm lunch.

Ahhh, that's a relief! At least they're not freezing without having something worm in their stomachs.

Yeah..not being hungry helps at least a little. But I'm sure Clancy told them some wonderful stories about how their life will end up.

That's always gotta help. Dad's optimistic attitude, I'm sure, will make hem feel less uneasy.

It does. Very much. He's a little worried at this point himself. But he doesn't let it show. And he has a lot of hope for tomorrow.

Looking for your hope is a whole lot more motivating then focusing on all that's gone wrong.

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2017-01-17 01:17:01 +0000 UTC]
Agreed. He is pretty good at looking forward. But at this point its impossible not to feel a bit discouraged.

For sure! Especially coming to a new country full of all kinds of hope and aspirations, just to realize the reality isn't so fantastic.

chill13 In reply to John-AM [2017-01-17 01:24:59 +0000 UTC]
Exactly. This was supposed to be better than where they came from. He can't help thinking that at least back home they weren't sleeping under a bridge.

John-AM In reply to chill13 [2017-01-17 01:31:42 +0000 UTC]
Heh. That's true. But if Clancy is anything as resilient as his ancestor, he'll get his family on it's feet before too long hopefully.

I'm not sure why, but this reminded me of the opening scene in Disney's animated classic The Great Mouse Detective, where Watson meets Olivia. π

These guys end up doing good. But it takes them awhile to get there. Clancy's got to get creative in an era when half the places hiring had signs that say "Irish need no apply".

Hopefully, they'll figure out the ropes before someone gets frostbite.
True. At least she grows a thick coat pretty quickly whenever it's cold.Β

I'm sure Clancy picked up a newspaper and did some job searching. But it got too late to continue... He's trying his best to keep them warm. A little more searching tomorrow and they might find a soup kitchen...
Well, that's fortunate. They could use a thick fur coat around now.

Yep. Though when she got enslaved and taken to Chibbink, she was rather hot until she could shed.Β

Ooh. Yeah. Fur coats can be bad in the heat.

Yep. You can't just take them off. Well, I guess one could shave, but that'd be annoying.Β

Maybe you can knit it or something.
