But the third night also Mrs. Gorry returned from a similar errand, at the same hour, with the same statement. "I'm sure of it," she panted. She was now in terror.

"I will take care about that, Tim; at any rate, I will try and manufacture two or three hooks, and when we halt for a day will try and do a little fishing on my own account." "I will make you two or three, Mr. O'Connor. I made a couple for Mr.
He looked as if he was going to burst into tears, while he surveyed the end of his line with an utterly comical expression of countenance. "No, bedad! it's not there," he exclaimed; "the baste of a fish has got it ill luck to him! But we shall have the consolation of ateing his brothers; and maybe some day we will come back and hook him."
When I was for a man-servant with Cæsar the farming boys were ateing potatoes and herrings three times a day. But now! butcher's mate every dinner-time, if you plaze. And tay! the girls must be having it reg'lar and taking no shame with them neither.

I had now got only one charge remaining, and thinks I to myself, I'll never be reaching Fort Ross with this, if I don't manage to kill a deer or some other big baste which would give me mate enough to last me all the way.

"They're mighty good ateing, barring the head and tail.
"He came into me place," said Foy, "and after ateing a few oysters he flung down a Spanish dollar, saying, 'Niver mind the change, Mr. Foy; kape it for yourself. Ah! there's a paycock of a gintleman for you." The most elegant estate in Washington in Jackson's time was the Van Ness mansion, built on the bank of the Potomac, at the foot of Seventeenth Street.
