You stud by me once whin I needed help; and now you ask will I stand by for rescue work. Till we crash that's all, me bhoy!"

The newcomers stopped for no more than a glance.
Of course it's not a pleasant thing to think you have shot a man, but you did it in self-defense, and were justified." "It's roight ye are on thot point, me bhoy; but it's a long toime before Oi'll rist aisy from thinkin' av it an' belavin' me own loife in danger. Oi'll be afeared av me own shadder in th' darruk.
Aftherwards I was well pleased I kept my fistes home. Then our Captain Crook Cruik-na-bul-leen came up. He'd been talkin' to the little orf'cer bhoy av the Tyrone. 'We're all cut to windystraws, he sez, 'but the Tyrone are damned short for noncoms. Go you over there, Mulvaney, an' be Deputy-Sergeant, Corp'ral, Lance, an' everything else ye can lay hands on till I bid you stop.
He strook him! screeches out Scrub Greene, who was always a lawyer; an' some of the men tuk up the shoutin'. "'Peg out that man! sez my orf'cer bhoy, niver losin' his timper; an' the non-coms wint in and pegged out Scrub Greene by the side av Peg Barney. "I cud see that the draf' was comin' roun'. The men stud not knowin' fwhat to do. "'Get to your tents! sez me orf'cer bhoy.
"Aye!" he replied reflectively, "I think I do now. . . ." The sergeant turned to his men. "Come on, bhoy!" he said. "Let's beat ut home. I'm gettin' hungry." They bid the trader adieu, and trudged away in the direction of the detachment. They had covered some quarter of a mile in silence when Slavin, who was in the lead, suddenly halted and whirled on his subordinates with a mirthless laugh.
"Is it a trance you're in, Oi dunno?" cried Mulloy, as he gave Gallup a sharp nudge. "Wake up, me bhoy!" "Eh?" grunted Gallup, looking up and starting to his feet. "Why, hanged if I noticed yer when yeou come in!" "Your mind seemed to be far away," observed Merry. "You actually looked troubled and careworn. What's the matter, Eph?"
I've shut my eyes to a dale av dog's thricks to-day, an' now there must be no more av ut. "No more we will. Come an' have a dhrink, me son, sez Peg Barney, staggerin' where he stud. Me little orf'cer bhoy kep' his timper. "'You're a sulky swine, you are, sez Peg Barney, an' at that the men in the tent began to laugh. "I tould you me orf'cer bhoy had bowils.
I've mended 'is oul duds, washed 'is dhirty clothes, shuk 'is han', stroked 'is hair an' said kind words to 'im! "'God Almighty! says I, 'yer goin' mad, Anna! She tuk her oul Bible an' read t' me these words; I mind thim well: "'Whin ye do it t' wan o' these craithers ye do it t' me! "Well, me bhoy, I thunk an' I thunk over thim words an' wud ye believe it I begun t' clane m' specs.
"God bless ye kindly, Jamie, I've a sore heart an' I'm as dhry as a whistle." "Now Jamie, put th' cups down on th' bed," Anna said, "an' then get out, like a good bhoy!" "I want a crack wi' Anna, Jamie," Eliza said. "Well, ye'll go farther an' fare worse she's a buffer at that!" Eliza sat up in bed while she drank the tea. When she drained her cup she handed it over to Anna.
"If you want to know where that bat is, I should say you'd find it somewhere between the baths and the statue. At the foot of the statue, for choice. It seems to me correct me if I am wrong that you have been and gone and done it, me broth av a bhoy." O'Hara gave up the search. "It's gone," he said. "Man, I'm most awfully sorry.
