"Out of the way, young coxcomb; do you suppose that I must give way to you?" "Not at all, your worship," replied Joseph, smiling, as with an active bound he cleared the way for a colossal carman, who, covered with sweat and dust, was wheeling a load of bricks in a barrow.
They then conducted him before a Mr. Brooldeigh, an active magistrate of that day, and a gentleman of mild and humane character. On reaching Brookleigh Hall, Lamh Laudher found the strange woman, Nell M'Collum, Connor's servant maid, and the carman awaiting his arrival. The magistrate looked keenly at the prisoner, and immediately glanced with an expression of strong disgust at Nell M'Collum.
The fiery eyes and inflamed countenance of the man in the smock-frock showed that he was half intoxicated; urging on the horses with his voice, his heels, and his whip, he paid no attention to the remonstrances of the soldier, who had great difficulty in restraining his own animals, and was obliged to follow the irregular movements of the carman.
"The play was hardly worth the candle cleared but five pound; and then, after I had paid the carman three shilling fip to bring the stuff down from the City, 'twas lost in the river from the barge at Paul's wharf! A good two pound." "Hard luck!" said Carew. "Hard? Adamantine, I say! Why, 'tis very stones for luck, and the whole road rocky!
Arter one o' the draymen 'ad saved her life and spoilt 'er temper by patting 'er on the back with a hand the size of a leg o' mutton, the carman turned to me and told me to tell the truth, if it choked me.

Old Colonel P. sold much whisky; and his manner was to sell by sample out of a pure barrel over night, at a marvelous cheap rate, and then to "rectify" before morning, under pretence of coopering and marking. Certain persons having a grudge against the Colonel, once made an arrangement with a carman, who executed their plan, thus: He went to the Colonel, and asked to see whisky.
"I'll 'it you agin if you come into a pub making a fool of me afore people," replied the sensitive seaman, blushing hotly with the recollection of the message. "He told me to," said the carman, pointing to Flower, who was lurking in the background. The tall seaman turned fiercely and strode up to him, and then, to the scandal of the bystanders and the dismay of Mr.
My sudden, unannounced appearance, at this time, needs explanation. I am glad dear Rose is here my old, true friend" and she leaned against Miss Carman "I can trust her." The arm of Rose tightened around the waist of Irene.
The meaning is plain it is nothing but you lie, and you lie downright Billingsgate, wrapped up in silk and satin, and delivered dressed finely up in better clothes than perhaps it might come dressed in between a carman and a porter.
And he asked him how high up he was, and what the light was, and whether anybody passing couldn't see him in the tree; and how tall the woman was that put the pistol there, and how she was dressed; and where Temple Scott and Joe Rainey was when he first saw them, and if he knew Harold Carman, and what the names of the other people were who came out; and what he did the day before, and the week before, and the week after; and whether he didn't fight and whip Kit O'Brien, and everything you ever heard of from the time Mitch was a baby.
