I slep', plaise your honor, in a little closet off o' the room the money was in." "Is it true that she slept there, Mr. Burke?" asked Vanston of the old man. "It is thrue, sir, God help me; that at all events is thrue." "Well, proceed," said Chevydale.
"What, for receiving a bribe!" exclaimed Chevydale, looking at the agent with a significant smile; "and what, pray, is the distinction between him who gives and him who takes a bribe? Let us look at home a little, my good Fethertonge, and learn a little charity to those who err as we do.
"I am much obliged to you," said he, "I was already aware of it; but now that I have met you, M'Mahon, allow me to ask if you have not entrusted a memorial to the care of Mr. Chevydale, in order that it might be sent up strongly supported by him to the Board of Excise?" "I have," said Bryan, "and it has been sent, if I am to believe Mr. Fethertonge."
"Now, my good girl," said Chevydale, "you will state all you know connected with these Hogans fully and truly that is, neither more nor less than the truth."
I expect M'Mahon, too." "Let us remove, then, to my office," said, Chevydale "it is now a few minutes past twelve, and I dare say they will soon be here." They accordingly did so; and, as he had said, the parties almost immediately made their appearance.
I know nothing about this business, except that three ruffianly looking fellows named Hogan, common tinkers, and common vagabonds to boot men that are my enemies are the persons by all accounts who set up the still on my property. As for myself, I had no more to do in it or with it than yourself or Mr. Chevydale here." "Well," replied Fethertonge, "I hope not.
I wish we had those M'Mahons out of the country. Vanston has paid that d d goose Chevydale a visit, and I fear that unless the Ahadarra man and his father, and the whole crew of them, soon leave the country, we shall break down in our object." "Do you tell me so?" said the gauger, starting; "by Jove, it is well I know this in time." "I don't understand." "Why," continued.
"Musha where were you, thin, if it's fair to ax?" inquired Peety; "for as for me that hears everything almost, the never a word I heard o' this." "I was in Dublin, thin, all the way," replied the farmer, "strivin' to get a renewal o' my laise from ould Squire Chevydale, the landlord; an' upon my snuggins, Peety, you may call a journey to Dublin an' home agin a tough one devil a doubt of it.
Hycy's memorial had been entrusted to Chevydale, who certainly promised to put his case strongly before the Commissioners of Excise; and Bryan at first had every reason to suppose that he would do so.
The young woman looked round with compassion upon Jemmy Burke, and the tears started to her eyes. "I pity him!" she exclaimed, "I pity him that good old man;" and, as she uttered the words, she wept aloud. "This, I fear, is getting rather a serious affair," said Vanston, in a low voice to Chevydale "I see how the tide is likely to turn." Chevydale merely nodded, as if he also comprehended it.
