There was a long pause, then McKnight's voice: "Hello yes. Thank you very much. Good-by." He came up-stairs, two steps at a time. "Look here," he said, bursting into the room, "there may be something in your theory, after all. The woman's name it may be a coincidence, but it's curious her name is Sullivan." "What did I tell you?" I said, sitting up suddenly in bed.

How he contrived to switch the conversation suddenly into that channel I cannot imagine. Some people have a gift of conjuring with conversations. They are almost always frankly and openly interested in themselves, as Sullivan was interested in himself. You may seek to foil them; you may even violently wrench the conversation into other directions. But every effort will be useless.

Under the lee of these he found Uncle Ulick striding to and fro and biting his finger-nails in his impatience. He wrung the Colonel's hand and looked into his face. "You'll do me the justice, John Sullivan," he said, with a touch of passion, "that never in my life have I been overhasty? Eh? Will you do me that?" "Certainly, Ulick," Colonel John answered, wondering much what was coming.

"Another gallant soldier, who should have died leading a charge, laid by the heels by a beggar's filthy distemper," growled Sullivan. "Where will it end?" "God knows," said Hamilton. "Poor Van Zandt! But whither was he sent, to the hospital?"

Sullivan; I don't believe your memory would hold you to a bargain that long, seeing that it would be in the family, especially." "I'll give Joan back her flock, to run it like she was runnin' it, and I'll put it in writin' with you both. Two years, we'll say, John two short easy years." "No." "Don't you throw away your chances now, John, don't you do it, lad.

It is our duty to make the best of our misfortunes and not suffer passion to interfere with our interest and the public good." Writing to General Sullivan he observed: "The disagreement between the army under your command and the fleet has given me very singular uneasiness.

They have no dread of being dispossessed or deprived of the benefit of their improvements; they don't, we are told, pay rack-rents; yet the security which he must feel upon living under the protection of "the Liberator" cannot induce Mr Sullivan, of whose cabin we have given the description, to remove the filth "which has percolated from the cess-pool before his door, and which is trodden into a glutinous substance by the feet and hooves of the semi-naked children and animals who occupy his floor;" nor "to devote so much of his unoccupied time as would be necessary to render waterproof his cabin, which was falling into pieces."

Tell him we've got an interview with Sullivan, and ask him what the support of Reilly means." Mack, whose name in full was McConnigan, but who was never designated as anything but "Mack," glanced at the proofs of Larry's story. "I guess I'll find him in Donnegan's place," he said, naming a resort where men of wealth frequently gathered for lunch. "I'll try there."

The court was crowded when Cornelius Dalton was put to the bar charged with the wilful murder of Bartholomew Sullivan, by striking him on the head with a walking stick, and when the old man stood up all eyes were turned on him.

But how was she to keep her promise to Terence? the Hill Terence, she called him now, when she thought of him, so as not to confuse him with Terence Sullivan. She went to the pool again and again and tried to find the door in the rocks open and the water so that she could walk on it, but she never found them so. Yet she could not think of any other way to get into the hill again.
