"I say, nabor, which is the right way into Bodagh Buie's house?" "There's two right ways into it, an' you may take aither o' them but if you want any favor from him, you had better call him Mr. O'Brien. The Bodagh's a name was first given to his father, an' he bein' a dacenter man, doesn't like it, although it sticks to him; so there's a lift for you, my hip striddled little codger."
Each town we passed made me more and more uneasy, as I knew that Nabor contemplated revolt. He did not like the idea of too long a journey for his horses. He wished to stop long before the goal that I had fixed. When we left the last of the important towns behind us, I felt for the first time secure. It was now dark, and we found the roads far worse than we remembered them.
Again, the father of Moses and Aaron married his father’s sister, who legally was not considered to be related to him. Nabor, the brother of Abraham, took to wife his fraternal niece, the daughter of his brother. It was only later that paternal kinship became legally recognised among the Hebrews by the same titles as the natural kinship through the mother. Gen. xii, 10-20.
Arphaxad was the son of Shem, and born twelve years after the deluge. Now Abram had two brethren, Nahor and Haran: of these Haran left a son, Lot; as also Sarai and Milcha his daughters; and died among the Chaldeans, in a city of the Chaldeans, called Ur; and his monument is shown to this day. These married their nieces. Nabor married Milcha, and Abram married Sarai.
Here, as so frequently, the old fashion is at once more comfortable and more artistic. We spent the morning in efforts to secure horses, but finally secured a man, Don Nabor, who agreed to accompany us with five animals. The party consisted of myself, my interpreter, my plaster-worker, and Don Nabor. Each of us was mounted, and a fifth horse carried the plaster and other luggage.
Ambrose in consequence gave orders to open the ground in the church of St. Nabor, as a spot likely to have been the burying-place of martyrs during the heathen persecutions. Augustine, who was in Milan at the time, alleges that Ambrose was directed in his search by a dream.
The people, however, were not quite sure of our intentions, and Nabor said that when he went to water the horses, a committee of village folk waited upon him, asking whether we were the party of white men who had been skinning live indians over in the Once Pueblos. There were four leagues between us and Cheran, and many more beyond it to Patzcuaro, where we hoped to arrive the next night.
"Now it happen dat one er de niggers on de nex' plantation, one er ole Mars Henry Brayboy's niggers, had runned away de day befo', en tuk ter de swamp, en ole Mars Dugal' en some er de yuther nabor w'ite folks had gone out wid dere guns en dere dogs fer ter he'p 'em hunt fer de nigger; en de han's on our own plantation wuz all so flusterated dat we fuhgot ter tell de noo han' 'bout de goopher on de scuppernon' vimes.
"A son of ould Denis O'Shaughnessy's, God be merciful to his sowl!" "Denis O'Shaughnessy! Is it him they called the 'Pigeon-house? An' is it possible he's dead?" "He's dead, nabor, an' in throth, an honest man's dead!" "As ever broke the world's bread. The Lord make his bed in heaven this day! Hasn't he a son larnin' to be a priest in May-newth?" "Ah! Fahreer gairh! That's all over."
They lay in the Basilica, where, at present, are the bodies of the martyrs Nabor and Felix; while, however, the holy martyrs Nabor and Felix had crowds to visit them, as well the names as the graves of the martyrs Protasius and Gervasius were unknown; so that all who wished to come to the rails which protected the graves of the martyrs Nabor and Felix, were used to walk on the graves of the others.
