Why, Rose and I really must get your reverence to speak to her, she is a sad girl Rose Dillon, I say so silent and homely-like ah, dear!
Neale rode into camp from the west in time to see Dillon's scout galloping hard up from the east. Neale dismounted before the waiting officers to give his report. "Good!" replied Dillon. "You certainly made time. We can figure on those graders in an hour or so?" "Yes. There were horses enough for half the gang," answered Neale. "Now for Anderson's report," muttered the officer.
"No, somebody has got to stay here an' watch the hosses," answered Tom Dillon. A brief discussion followed, and it was agreed that Abe Blower and Roger and Dave should go down into the opening, leaving Tom Dillon and Phil to guard the animals and the camping outfit. Possibly the shipowner's son was disappointed by this arrangement, but if so he did not show it.
There was no time to pursue the subject further for we had reached Dillon's office and were admitted immediately. "What's the news?" asked Dillon greeting us cordially. "Plenty of it," returned Garrick, hastily sketching over what had transpired since we had seen him last.
The sunken eye of Dillon cowered before the steady gaze which Borroughcliffe fastened on him, as the latter listened to the plaudits the colonel lavished on his cousin's ingenuity; but the hesitation that lingered in the soldier's manner vanished when he turned to examine their unsuspecting prisoner, who was continuing his survey of the apartment, while he innocently imagined the consultations he witnessed were merely the proper and preparatory steps to his admission into the presence of Mr.

Tad Dillon had stepped into Daws's shoes, and the war was still going on in the hills.
Then, indeed, when the battle was won, and there was only question of the booty, Mr Redmond made the public boast that he and Mr Dillon "were in almost daily communications with Mr Bryce upon the subject." The excuse was as unavailing as his plea that the finally revised terms of sale of his Wexford estate left him without a penny of profit.

By this time they'd got to the front door, at which was now standing Tony's buggy and servant; Greenough was going to walk to his lodgings, and Blake had come to the door to see his friend off; when they heard a loud shrieking down the street, and they saw the unfortunate Stark running towards the hotel, still followed by Fitzpatrick and Dillon, each with an empty bottle in his hand.
