Hycy here that got the Still up in Ahadarra, in ordher to beggar Bryan M'Mahon by the fine." Hycy laughed. "Excellent!" said he; "Why, really, Mr. Chevydale, I did not imagine that you could suffer such a farce as this is likely to turn out to be enacted exactly in your office." "Enacted! well, that's, appropriate at any rate," said the schoolmaster; "but in the mane time, Mr.
The fact is, they are anxious to get you out of Ahadarra, and thought that by secretly ruining you, they could most plausibly effect it." "I have now no earthly doubt of it, Hycy," replied the other. "You need not," replied Hycy; "and maybe I'm not far astray when I say, that the hook-nosed old Still-hound, Clinton, is not a thousand miles from the plot.
Nothing a few months before had been farther from their thoughts; but now there existed such a combination of arguments for their departure, as influenced Bryan and his father, in spite of their hereditary attachment to Ahadarra and Carriglass. Between them and the Cavanaghs, ever since Gerald had delivered Kathleen's message to Bryan, there was scarcely any intercourse.
So that, as Finigan afterwards said, "instead of Bryan M'Mahon, it was they themselves that became 'the Emigrants of Ahadarra, at the king's expense and Mr. Hycy at his own." How Kathleen Cavanagh spent the time that elapsed between the period at which she last appeared to our readers and the present may be easily gathered from what we are about to write.
"Teddy," said he, "now that the coast's clear, let us lose no time in coming to the point. You are aware that Bryan M'Mahon has come into the mountain farm of Ahadarra by the death of his uncle." "Shiss; dese three years." "You will stick to your cursed brogue," said the other; "however, that's your own affair. You are aware of this?" "I am."
"Why, he set up a still on his property an' you know Adam owns the whole townland, jist as Bryan M'Mahon does Ahadarra an' afther three or four runnin she gets a bloody scoundrel to inform upon Adam, as if it was him an' not himself that had the still. Clinton the gauger may the devil break his neck at any rate! an' the redcoats came and found all right, Still, Head, and Worm."
I wish we had those M'Mahons out of the country. Vanston has paid that d d goose Chevydale a visit, and I fear that unless the Ahadarra man and his father, and the whole crew of them, soon leave the country, we shall break down in our object." "Do you tell me so?" said the gauger, starting; "by Jove, it is well I know this in time." "I don't understand." "Why," continued.
I lave this farm of Carriglass to you, while you live, wid all that's on it and in it; that is, that I have any right to lave you I lave it to you wid my blessin', and may God grant you long life and health to enjoy it. Ahadarra isn't mine to give, but, Bryan, it's your's; an' as I said to your father, God grant you health and long life to enjoy it, as he will to both o' you."
"I must confess," said Clinton, "that I would have some reason to feel ashamed of my part in the transactions with respect to Ahadarra, were it not, in the first place, that I have never been much afflicted with the commodity; and, in the next, that these transactions are too common to excite any feeling one way or the other."
You can go to Ahadarra to-morrow and pitch upon a proper situation for a house. These implements will do." "No, dey won't; I wouldn't tink to begin at all wid dat ould skillet. You must get de Hogans to make a new Still, Head and Worm, an' dat will be money down." "Very well; I'll provide the needful; let Philip call to me in a day or two." "Dat Ahadarra isn't so safe," said Teddy.
