"I will," said Lord Tathenham. "In hundreds?" said the sharp Irishman. "Very well," said Lord Tathenham; and the bet was booked. "You didn't know, I suppose," said the successful viscount, "that Dot Blake has bought Brien Boru?" "And who the devil's Dot Blake?" said Lord Tathenham. "Oh! you'll know before May's over," said the viscount.
I lay no claim to any connection with Brian Boru, or Malichi, of the crown of gold, a gentleman who, notwithstanding the poetical authority of Tom Moore, we have some reason to believe during his long and illustrious reign was never master of a crown sterling. My ancestor was Colonel Hamilton, as stout a Cromwellian as ever led a squadron of Noll's Ironsides to a charge.
Evidently he was thinking of the Three; a silence then: "Yes, they look like birds and they look, and it's meaning no disrespect to them I am at all, they look like lizards" and another silence "they look like some sort of gods, and, by the good sword-arm of Brian Boru, they look human, too! And it's none of them they are either, so what what the what the sainted St. Bridget are they?"
"Well, what's the good of her having all that money if she doesn't get hold of a really grand title to hang it on? I shall tell her that Borrow comes down from Boru, Brian Boru the rightful King of Ireland: and when your brother dies you'll be Marquis of Killeena." "He'll not die for thirty or forty years, let's hope."
As for Janet, she sat down on the floor and hugged him until Tom bribed her to get up by offering to buy Boru some ice cream. It was a merry party that came back to Auntie Mogs's in a taxicab and Boru, in his excitement, insisted upon licking even the chauffeur's ear. Janet sat with him in her lap for the rest of the happy afternoon. Tom's surprise party was a great success.
Patrick Cotter, the successor of O'Brien, and who for awhile exhibited under this name, claiming that he was a lineal descendant of the famous Irish King, Brian Boru, who he declared was 9 feet in height, was born in 1761, and died in 1806 at the age of forty-five. His shoe was 17 inches long, and he was 8 feet 4 inches tall at his death.
All the Scandinavian invasions of England were, therefore, successful, each in turn giving way before a new one; and it is not a little remarkable that the very year in which Brian Boru dealt a death-blow to the Danes at Clontarf witnessed the complete subjection of England by Canute. The success of the Northmen in France is still more worthy of attention.
Having demolished the rebellious Senate and their backers, the next thing 0'Mahony has to do is to wipe out the bloody Saxon and re-establish the nationality of the Emerald Isle as it existed in the days of Brian Boru. As Queen Victoria is a woman, we do not expect to see her locked up like Jeff.
He considered himself as at least the social equal of any member of the Government, for he claimed descent from the old Irish kings, and on one or two occasions when more than ordinarily exhilarated he had even been known to refer to his ancestor, Brian Boru.
Of course, it was only to taste the fresh air; To pick cowslips and daisies; and brush off the dew, Or drink gin o'er the tombstone of Brian Boru. As to flags, and all that; 'twas but doing in style, The honours of Freedom to Erin's green isle.
