I'm a good mind to swipe yez over th' nut wid me lanthern an' take ut away from yez!" McHale drew the weapon gently, and spun it on his finger, checking the revolutions six times with startling suddenness. Mr. Quilty watched him sourly. "Play thricks!" he commented. "Spin a gun! Huh! Why don't yez get a job wid a dhrama that shows the West as it used to wasn't?
The big fellow, Collier, had a dark lanthern wid a half-burned turf in it to light the bonfire, as they said; others had guns and pistols some of them charged and some of them not; some had bagnets, and ould rusty swords, pitchforks, and go on.
When you looked at their bluff visages and brawny limbs, as depicted in their portraits, and then at the little Marquis, with his spindle shanks; his sallow lanthern visage, flanked with a pair of powdered ear-locks, or ailes de pigeon, that seemed ready to fly away with it; you would hardly believe him to be of the same race.
"Sure, if ye's mane to git under way afore night, it's toime to turn out," replied Felix. "Don't ye's hear the schtaym sizzlin' in the froy'n pan?" "But it isn't light yet," protested Scott. "Bekase the lanthern in the cab'n bloinds your two oyes, and makes the darkness shoine broighter nor the loight," said Felix, as he looked at his watch.
The only difficulty was to get the lad on the box to give them their heads. The noise of their approach, heard from the bottom of the ascent, within the lonely winter castle, awoke profound conjecture, and Grizzie proceeded to light the lanthern that she might learn the sooner what catastrophe could cause such a phenomenon: something awful must have taken place!
She appears to me to have been injured by going out of the common way without any of that imagination, which if it be a Jack o' Lanthern to lead us that out way, is however, at the same time a torch to light us whither we are going. A whole essay might be written on the danger of thinking without images. God bless you, my dear sir, and him who is with grateful and affectionate esteem, Yours ever,
Collier and the other strangers from behind the mountains war to go first, and the rest were to stand round the house at a distance he carried the lanthern, a bagnet, and a horse-pistol; and half a dozen more war to bring over bottles of straw from Vengeance's own haggard, to hould up to the thatch.
"Howly war!" cried one of the startled crew. "See what's butted into us the divvle's own battherin'-ram av a scow, an' wid an ilegant lanthern shtuck on her mangy hide, if ye plaze." A ship's lamp bobbed up and down in the gloom, and another voice said gruffly: "Mighty good job we had those fenders out, or she would have knocked a hole in us.
'Hearken, hearken, shoo's cursing on 'em! muttered Joseph, towards whom I had been steering. He sat within earshot, milking the cows by the light of a lantern, which I seized unceremoniously, and, calling out that I would send it back on the morrow, rushed to the nearest postern. 'Maister, maister, he's staling t' lanthern! shouted the ancient, pursuing my retreat. 'Hey, Gnasher! Hey, dog!
"Brady," said he, "come out; I want to spake to you. Is there a lanthern in the place at all?" "No, Mr. Thady, there is not," said he, without moving; "what is it you want to-night?" "Come out, and bring a lighted candle, if you can."
