"Sally, you insinivator, I'll hould a thousand guineas you'd never guess what brought me here to-day?" "Arrah, how could I, Phelim? To plan some thin' wid my fadher, maybe." "No, but to plan somethin' wid yourself, you coaxin' jewel you. Now tell me this Would you marry a certain gay, roguish, well-built young fellow, they call Bouncin' Phelim?"
I think, too, you're not the same boy you wor afore you tuck to swearin' the alibies. "Faith, an' I doubt I'll haye to get some one to swear an alibi for myself soon," Phelim replied. "Why, blessed hour!" said Larry, "didn't I often tell you never to join the boys in anything that might turn out a hangin' matther?"
It was Bob Repton's questions, as to what they were doing at the time of the flood, that brought him suddenly up; then he didn't hesitate for a moment in taking them back to Adam, or before him. Just on the ancestry of the O'Moores, Phelim has got a tile a little loose; but on all other points, he is as sensible as anyone in the regiment."
You said your uncle Sir Phelim employed a coachmaker named Ashleigh, that Ashleigh was an uncommon name, though Ashley was a common one; you intimated an appalling suspicion that the Mrs. Ashleigh who had come to the Hill was the coach maker's widow. I relieve your mind, she is not; she is the widow of Gilbert Ashleigh, of Kirby Hall."
Having satisfied himself that to burnish further its glittering buttons would be to gild refined gold, he commenced a vigorous brushing for it was now his high ambition to "get the stick" in other words to be dismissed from guard-duty as reward for being the best-turned-out man on parade.... As he reached up to his shelf for his gauntlets and pipe-clay box, Trooper Phelim O'Shaughnessy swaggered over with much jingle of spur and playfully smote him, netherly, with his cutting whip.
"Och, an' why wouldn't I, Phelim, acushla? Sure that's but rason." "Well, take this book an' swear it. Be gorra, your word won't do, for it's a thing my mind's made up on. It's I that'll be fond o' the childre." "An' how am I to swear it, Phelim? for I never tuck an oath myself yet." "Take the book in your hand, shut one eye, and say the words afther me. Be the contints o' this book,"
What do you! think your father 'ud be willin' to give you? Not that I care a cron abaun about it, for I'd marry you wid an inch of candle." "You know my father's but a poor man, Phelim, an' can give little or nothing. Them that won't marry me as I am, needn't come here to look for a fortune."
"Phelim," said the father, "strip yourself, an' put on Sam's clo'es: you must send him down yours for a day or two; he says it's the least he may have the wearin' o' them, so long as you have his." "Right enough," said Phelim; "Wid all my heart; I'm ready to make a fair swap wid him any day, for that matther."
He punished without mercy all the prisoners who had any hand in the massacres. Sir Phelim O'Neale, among the rest, was some time after brought to the gibbet, and suffered an ignominious death, which he had so well merited by his inhuman cruelties. Limeric, a considerable town, still remained in the hands of the Irish; and Ireton, after a vigorous siege, made himself master of it.
Sure Sally here, knows that it's my own intherest to marry her and no one else." "If my father thought you would, Phelim, he'd not stag, even if he was to cras the wather!" "Go home, Sally darlin' till I get this mad Donovan an' his daughter away. Be all that's beautiful I'll be apt to give him a taste o' my shillely, if he doesn't behave himself!
