The sergeant, on the other hand, though an out-spoken and flaming anti-Papist in theory, was, in point of fact, a good friend to his Roman Catholic neighbors, who used to say of him that his bark was worse than his bite. When his party had passed on, Fergus stood for a moment uncertain as to where he should direct his steps. He had not long to wait, however.
High Churchman as he was, vehement anti-papist as he was, he became from that moment, and remained to the hour of his death, beyond all question the most popular man in Ireland and his name was ever afterwards upon the lips of all who aspired to promote the best interests and prosperity of their country. The forty years which follow maybe passed rapidly over.
This diabolical master-piece is the subject of Gérard de Nerval’s story La Sonate du Diable . While the devil plays all instruments equally well, he seems to prefer the violin.

"After all," replied Phil, "you are a chip of the old block."
It would be a cursed slap in the face to have one of our leading men hanged only, after all, for carrying out the wishes of an anti-Papist Government, who connived at his conduct, and encouraged him in it. I know he expected a coronet, and I have no doubt but he'd have got one had his party remained in; but now all the unfortunate devil is likely to get is a rope and be hanged to them!
