"Yes, my boy, yes, all but this, which I'll carry into the house; and just lock the outer door, now you're near it," said Bartle, getting his stick in the fitting angle to help him in descending from his stool. He was no sooner on the ground than it became obvious why the stick was necessary the left leg was much shorter than the right.
"The farewell which affected me most was that of Sir Bartle Frere, who was then stretched on what turned out to be his death-bed. He was very ill, and not seeing people, but was so gratified that what he had proposed in 1878 as to Bechuanaland should be carried out in 1884, that Lady Frere asked me to call and see him before I sailed.
"Peter Magennis what am I sayin'? I mean Bartle Sullivan." The counsel for the defence requested the judge and jury to make a note of Peter Magennis, and then asked the Prophet what kind of a man Bartle Sullivan was. "He was a very remarkable man in appearance; stout, with a long face, and a scar on his chin." "And you saw that man murdered?" "I seen him dead after havin' been murdhered."
Circumstances combined to prevent Sir Bartle Frere from visiting the Transvaal, as intended and promised. In the meantime two deputations had been sent to England, representing the Boers' case against annexation.
"Quiet, Vixen!" snarled Bartle, turning round upon her. "You're like the rest o' the women always putting in your word before you know why." Vixen returned to her hamper again in humiliation, and her master continued his supper in a silence which Adam did not choose to interrupt; he knew the old man would be in a better humour when he had had his supper and lighted his pipe.
The first witness called was Jeremiah Sullivan, who deposed that at one of the Christmas markets in 1798 he was present when an altercation took place between his late brother Bartle and the prisoner. They were both drinking, and their friends separated them. He never saw his brother alive afterwards. He then deposed to the finding of his brother's coat and hat, crushed and torn.
She loves me, Bartle, and a solemn promise of marriage has passed between us." "Connor," said Bartle, "it's wondherful, it's wondherful! you couldn't believe what a fool I am fool! no, but a faint-hearted, cowardly villain." "What do you mane, Bartle? what the dickens are you drivin' at!" "Driven at! whenever I happen to have an opportunity of makin' a drive that id but! I'm talkin' balderdash.
How many's that?" "Nine!!!" "Very good. Now put down one wid ould' Bartle Gorman, of Cargah; an' two over wid honest Roger M'Gaugy, of Nurchasey. How-many have you now?" "Twelve in all!!!! But, Misther Connelly there's a demonstration badly wanted here. I must confis I was always bright, but at present I'm as dark as Nox. I'd thank you for a taste of explanation." "Asy, man alive!
It was on the first social evening that the two families, now so happily reconciled, spent together subsequent to the trial, that Bartle Sullivan gratified them with the following account of his history: "I remimber fightin'," he proceeded, "wid Condy on that night, an' the devil's own bulliah battha he was. We went into a corner of the field near the Grey Stone to decide it.
Perhaps that's the reason THEY can see so little o' this side on't." Martin Poyser shook with delighted laughter and winked at Adam, as much as to say the schoolmaster was in for it now. "Ah!" said Bartle sneeringly, "the women are quick enough they're quick enough. They know the rights of a story before they hear it, and can tell a man what his thoughts are before he knows 'em himself."
