Here, Father here, your reverence; take care, will you, you'll have the holy man in the blaze!" By this time I could perceive that my worthy old friend Father Rush was in the midst of the mob with what appeared to be a written oration, as long as the tail of a kite, between his hands. "Be aisy, there, ye savages! Who's tearing the back of my neck? Howld me up straight! Steady, now hem!"

"Likely as not, he'll getten howld o' the wrong roup," he muttered; though he knew that every boy in the village could point out the rope of "John Darby," as that which had a piece of faded scarlet flannel twisted through the strands. In a few minutes the man, who hastened slowly, gave the call, which every man in Farlingford answered with an emotionless, mechanical promptitude.

"They'll soon give us a chance, if they get howld of the whisky," observed Mike; "so we must have patience till that happy time comes." As we had proved ourselves such expert hunters on the previous occasion, the Indians decided to take us with them, and allowed us to select two capital horses, as also some tough spears and a supply of arrows.

"That's right, mother," cried young Malone, "howld yer tongues, boys, and let's hear what the widdy has to say. Isn't it herself has got the great mind not to mintion the body?" "Shut your murphy-trap, Teddy," retorted the widow, "an' here's what I've got to say. We must have only wan man to guide us if we are to get on at all. Too many cooks, ye knows well enough, is sure to spile the broth.

"Och! the blackguards have got howld of us. Be aisy, Muster Brixton. No use fightin'. Howld yer tongues, now, an' let me spake. Yer not half liars enough for the occasion, aither of ye." This compliment had barely been paid when they were surrounded and ordered to rise and give an account of themselves.

"A portion of his ould hunting-dress I'll not specify what, you know but a portion, which he'd been wearing since the last election, were too shabby to show: well, he couldn't catch a hedge tailor far or near, only poor lame Andy Oulahan, who was burying his wife, rest her sowl, the very moment Jerry got a howld of him.

It's Diablesse the loup-garou!" "'Tis none other that last. But, man! Man! The first wan! Was it a human cry or from the throat of another of her hell-begotten breed?" Without waiting to reply the Frenchman swung the big six-team in their tracks and headed them toward camp. But Irish Fallon reached for him as he fumbled at the clevis. "Howld on, ye frog-eater! Be a man!

By thus dexterously managing the fish for some minutes, he at length brought it close to the shore, and I caught sight of an ugly-looking dark monster. "Sure, it's a cat-fish, and mighty good ateing too, though it's no beauty," exclaimed Mike. "Get howld of him, Masther Roger; get howld of him, or he will be off."

"Fire away, sir; I'm very well where I am, and I'm thinking I can howld out agin the hunger longer nor yer honer." "Your name is Pat Brady?" "It is." "Whose servant are you?" "Whose servant?" "Don't you understand what I say? whose servant are you?" "Faix thin, I don't call myself a servant at all." "Who's your master then?" "Mr. Macdermot here was my masther afore this affair."

"I rached out me hand to shake his own, but he never noticed it, but motioned fur me to stow mesilf into the bottom of the canoe; and thin, after some muttering and throwing of his arms, I could saa he wanted me to howld on to the other canoe." "And I did the same, and the way he towed us over the water would have frightened a steamboat." "He is a smart fellow, indeed."
