'He could no more play the Wold Hundredth to his true time than he could play the brazen serpent, the tranter would say. Occasionally Mop could produce the aforesaid moving effect upon the souls of grown-up persons, especially young women of fragile and responsive organization. Such an one was Car'line Aspent.
But no matter spite of him I'll have my swing the day, and it's I that will tear away with a good horse under me and a good whip over him in a capital style, up and down the street of Ballynavogue, for you, Miss Car'line Flaherty! Honor. Gerald O'Blaney! Oh, brother! Mercy! Don't! any thing rather than that Phil. Honor. Phil. Phoo! you've taken a prejudice.
Car'line soon found herself in this place, the axis of the whole performance, and could not get out of it, the tune turning into the first part without giving her opportunity. And now she began to suspect that Mop did know her, and was doing this on purpose, though whenever she stole a glance at him his closed eyes betokened obliviousness to everything outside his own brain.
"But we must win in the end," said Betty, desperately; "we have sacrificed so much, how can it all be lost?" "That's what Mr. Lightfoot says we'll win in the end, but the end's a long way off. By the way, did you know that Car'line had run off after the Yankees? When I think how that girl had been spoiled!" "Oh, I wish they'd all go," returned Betty.
In London he lived and worked regularly at his trade. More fortunate than many, his disinterested willingness recommended him from the first. During the ensuing four years he was never out of employment. He neither advanced nor receded in the modern sense; he improved as a workman, but he did not shift one jot in social position. About his love for Car'line he maintained a rigid silence.
Though Hipcroft was, in his small way, a central man in the movement, he plodded on with his usual outward placidity. Yet for him, too, the year was destined to have its surprises, for when the bustle of getting the building ready for the opening day was past, the ceremonies had been witnessed, and people were flocking thither from all parts of the globe, he received a letter from Car'line.
But first, see! isn't there an elegant pair of boots, that fits a leg like wax? There's what'll plase Car'line Flaherty, I'll engage. But what ails you, Honor? you look as if your own heart was like to break. Are not you for the fair to-day? and why not? Honor. Oh! rasons. Phil. Tell all to your own Phil. Honor.
The pedestrian was Mop Ollamoor, as the girl well knew; but his business that way was not to visit her; he sought another woman whom he spoke of as his Intended, and who lived at Moreford, two miles farther on. On one, and only one, occasion did it happen that Car'line could not control her utterance; it was when her sister alone chanced to be present. 'Oh oh oh ! she cried.
They call the country around Crotcher's, Wire Neck, caze no neck is left thar that kin be twisted off; the country in lower Car'line they calls 'Puckem, caze the crops is so puckered up. They say Joe's a great man among his neighbors, an' kin go to the Legislater.
