"Bedad she ain't our frind, or, sure, she'd have come up an' spoke us dacintly, loike a jintleman," I heard Tim say to the sailmaker, outside the door of his cabin in the deck-house.
"Gentleman what gentleman?" asked the lady. "Sorrow a know I know, ma'am!" said Mary, who was a new importation "only, he's a dark, sightly jintleman, as come on a horse." "And did you send for the master?" "I did, ma'am; I was out in the yard, and bad Patsy go look for him."
That worthy soon picked us out, though; aye, in spite of our sheltering under the lee of the bridge, and being almost concealed in the evening gloom. "S'pose yer afeerd o' clim'in' riggin'?" "Divvle a bit!" replied Mick in a moment. "Oi'd cloimb in a jiffey; ounly the jintleman downstairs, faith, tould us all we wasn't."
The engine came up an' wint half over me widout givin' me a scratch, bekase av my centraleous situation, an' then the porther-men pulled me out, nigh sick wid fright, sor, as ye may guess. A jintleman in the crowd sings out: 'I'm a medical man! an' they tuk me in the waitin'-room, an' he investigated me, havin' turned everybody else out av the room.
We turned the next corner and saw the man thirty yards before us, walking, and pulling up his sleeve at the shoulder, so as to conceal the rent. "That's Sim Wilks," Hewitt explained, as we followed, "the 'juce of a foine jintleman' who got Leamy to carry his bag, and the man who knows where the Quinton ruby is, unless I am more than usually mistaken. Don't stare after him, in case he looks round.
Ef he wuz a foine Irish jintleman, now, er even a r'yal prince av the blud, there'd be no sinse in his airs, bedad!" Tom and Bill were less noisy in their just wrath, but it ran equally deep: "He belongs to the party. But when Daniel comes up for office look out! We'll score a hard day's work against him, party or no party!" The major rose to the occasion.
Get up, and show them how supple you are!" Then laying her cheek down to the cold cheek of the dead, she exclaimed, amid broken sobs and groans "Oh, spake to me spake to me, Mike my own Mike 'tis the mother that axes ye." There was a deep pause, when the bereaved parent again broke forth "Mike, Mike why did your uncle rare you like a jintleman to bring you to this.
There's not a jintleman in the worrld that can lay over ye in the judgmint of a dog, sir. Now I'll vinture that your honor'll know that dog's dimensions there better than he knows them his own self, and just by the casting of your educated eye upon him. Would you mind giving a guess, if ye'll be so good?" I knew that upon my answer would depend my fate.
Pat will remain with Martin and me, for as he is no shot, he would only be throwing the ammunition away." Pat, who was not vain of his powers as a sportsman, readily consented to this. "Shure, I'll be afther taking good care of the jintleman," he said. "If a bear or a wolf comes this way, faith, he'll be sorry for it to the end of his days."
"What do I want, me joker?" returned Tim, in no way put out by his rude address. "I want somethin' to ate for me an' this young jintleman here. D'ye hear that?" "Zere's nuzzing left," surlily answered the man. "You should coom down in ze propare time." "The dickens I should? Confound y'r impudence, ye mangy Porteegee swab!
