Mervyn; I have a good deal to do, back and forward, sometimes early, sometimes late, in the church Chapelizod Church all alone, Sir; and I often think of you, when I walk over the south-side vault. 'What's your message, I say, Sir, and who sends it, insisted Mervyn. 'Your father, answered Irons.
But her first and her second round of enquiries, despatched at the latest minute at which she was likely to find any body out of bed to answer them, were altogether fruitless. And the lights went out in one house after another, and the Phoenix shut its doors, and her own servants were for hours gone to bed; and the little town of Chapelizod was buried in the silence of universal slumber.
Dangerfield, in the dock nodded sometimes, or sneered or smirked with hollow cheeks, or shook his head in unison with the passing sentiment of the speaker, directing, through that hot atmosphere, now darkening into twilight, a quick glance from time to time upon the aspect of the jury, the weather-gauge of his fate, but altogether with a manly, sarcastic, and at times a somewhat offended air, as though he should say, ''Tis somewhat too good a jest that I, Paul Dangerfield, Esq., a man of fashion, with my known character, and worth nigh two hundred thousand pounds sterling, should stand here, charged with murdering a miserable Chapelizod doctor! The minutes had stolen away; the judge read his notes by candle-light, and charged, with dry and cranky emphasis, dead against that man of integrity, fashion, and guineas; and did not appear a bit disturbed at the idea of hanging him.
The doctor stood just under the porch of the stout brick house of King William's date, which was then the residence of the worthy rector of Chapelizod with his great surtout and cape on his leggings buttoned up and his capacious leather 'overalls' pulled up and strapped over these and his broad-leafed hat tied down over his wig and ears with a mighty silk kerchief.

"That," said the old crone, dogmatically, "was ould Colonel Grimshaw, the Lord presarve us! he's buried in the churchyard iv Chapelizod, and well I remember him, when I was a young thing, an' a cross ould floggin' fellow he was wid the men, an' a devil's boy among the girls rest his soul!" "Amen!" said Peter; "it's often I read his tombstone myself; but he's a long time dead."
'Well, Larry, I think I showed him Chapelizod, hey? said the doctor, buoyantly, to that functionary, and marched diagonally across the broad street toward Sturk's house, with a gait and a countenance that might have overawed an army.
