O'Carroll of Ely agreed to accept the king's peace, but there is no evidence that he agreed to the king's religious programme. At Limerick, according to the Deputy's own story, the mayor and corporation took the oath of Royal Supremacy, and renounced the authority of the Pope, as did also the bishop, who promised furthermore to induce his clergy to follow this example.
We lifted him up to carry him to the camp, but before we had gone many paces, we found that we were bearing a corpse. "That man has been murdered," exclaimed O'Carroll, turning to the captain.
I kept anxiously waiting all the time for the arrival of an interpreter, for whom I was convinced the chief had sent. After we lost Captain O'Carroll we returned to our original intention of procuring one at Batavia. This must account for my being at present without one.
Really I should be very happy; but, in my present exhausted state, the exertion is too much for me. I do not know when I have been equal to such an effort. De fourteen December de last year, Monsieur. So it was. Seven months ago. You see, Mr Larynx; you see, sir. My nerves, Miss O'Carroll, my nerves are shattered. I have been advised to try Bath. Some of the faculty recommend Cheltenham.
Accordingly Captain Hassall, the first mate, and I, accompanied by Dennis O'Carroll, who seemed to be able to speak every language under the sun except pure English, as interpreter, went on shore under an escort. The Governor, a fat, swarthy personage in the full dress uniform of a general, received us in a haughty manner, and cross-questioned us in the most minute and tedious manner.
"That Miss Mary Mason," said Toby, "is a sweetly pretty girl. I would go through fire and water to serve her." "And Julia Arundel is one of the most lively, animated girls I have met for a long time," remarked William, with a sigh. I had observed O'Carroll in conversation with a lady who seemed to be a former acquaintance.
As we got in sight of where they were, we saw that they had already got up a spar, which had been washed on shore, and were in the act of hoisting a man's shirt to the top of it in order to attract the attention of the stranger. On this O'Carroll shouted out to them in no very gentle tones, "Fools! idiots! what are you about? would you bring an enemy on shore to murder us?"
"Not at all certain that she isn't," he answered, quite in a serious tone. "No, she's not that, but she's ten times worse," exclaimed O'Carroll; "she is the Mignonne, as I am a seaman, and will be bothering us pretty considerably, depend on that." We heartily hoped that he was mistaken, but certainly she was very like the craft we had seen at Saint Salvador.
Instead, however, of showing them how forgiveness can alone be obtained, they make them believe that money can buy it through the prayers of the saints; but when they've got the money in their own pockets, it's very little trouble they give the saints about the matter at all." "How did you learn all this, Mr O'Carroll?" I asked. "Just because I believed it all myself," he answered quickly.
I think of trying both, as the seasons don't clash. The season, you know, Mr Larynx the season, Miss O'Carroll the season is every thing. And health is something. N'est-ce pas, Mr Larynx? Most assuredly, Miss O'Carroll.
