In November, General Preston, at the head of 6,000 foot and 600 horse, encountered Monk at Tymahoe and Ballinakil, with some loss; but before the close of December he had reduced Birr, Banagher, Burris, and Fort Falkland, and found himself master of King's county, from the Shannon to the Barrow.
The matter was one evidently too weighty to be settled by her own judgment, so she handed the letter to be read, first by the widow, and then by Martin, and lastly by the two girls, who, by this time, were both in the room. "Well, the dethermined impudence of that blackguard!" exclaimed Mrs Kelly. "Conspiracy! av' that don't bang Banagher! What does the man mean by 'conspiracy, eh, Martin?"
Tell Jones to ride into Banagher and look after that box; Buckmaster sent it from London two months ago, and it has been lying there ever since. And, Mrs. Magra, pray let the windows be opened, and the house well aired; that drawing-room would be all the better for new papering."
"'O, but I'm in airnest, says the captain; 'and do you tell me, Paddy, says he, 'that you spake Frinch? "'Parly voo frongsay, says I. "'By gor, that bangs Banagher, and all the world knows Banagher bangs the divil, I never met the likes o' you, Paddy, says he, 'pull away, boys, and put Paddy ashore, and maybe we won't get a good bellyful before long.
Sure ye might have heard what happened to him at Banagher, when he commanded the Kilkennys, ye never heard the story? Well, then, ye shall. Push the sherry along first, though, old Monsoon there always keeps it lingering beside his left arm.
I went on with the hunting surveyor at Banagher for three years, during which, at Kingstown, the watering place near Dublin, I met Rose Heseltine, the lady who has since become my wife. The engagement took place when I had been just one year in Ireland; but there was still a delay of two years before we could be married.
The lowermost links now dropped off to the ground, while the higher ones leaped to the branches and came down by the trunk. The whole troop then scampered off into the chaparral and disappeared. "Aw, be the powers of Moll Kelly! iv thim little crayteurs hasn't more sinse than the humans av these parts! It's a quare counthry, anyhow. Be me sowl! it bates Banagher intirely!"
Immediately after our marriage, I left the west of Ireland and the hunting surveyor, and joined another in the south. It was a better district, and I was enabled to live at Clonmel, a town of some importance, instead of at Banagher, which is little more than a village. I had not felt myself to be comfortable in my old residence as a married man.
P.S. I have just heard from Considine. He was out this morning and shot a fellow in the knee; but finds that after all he was not the candidate, but a tourist that was writing a book about Connemara. P.S. No. 2. Bear the mortgage in mind, for old Mallock is a spiteful fellow, and has a grudge against me, since I horsewhipped his son in Banagher. Oh, the world, the world!
Of my life at Penrith I need add nothing to the jottings I have already placed before the reader on the occasion of my first visit to that place. My brother, already a very different man from what he had been in London, came from his Irish district to visit us there; and I returned with him to Ireland, to his head-quarters at Banagher on the Shannon. Neither of this journey need I say much.
