Count Hohenzollern, a young man, wild, fierce, and arrogant, scarcely twenty-three years of age, arrived in Paris on the 7th of September, with a train of forty horsemen. De Colly, agent of the Elector-Palatine, had received an outline of his instructions, which the Prince of Anhalt had obtained at Prague. He informed Henry that Hohenzollern would address him thus: "You are a king.
The Envoy spoke much in the sense which de Colly had indicated; making a long argument in favour of the Emperor's exclusive right of arbitration, and assuring the King that the Emperor was resolved on war if interference between himself and his subjects was persisted in. He loudly pronounced the proceedings of the possessory princes to be utterly illegal, and contrary to all precedent.
In a scientific clash with the gloves he would soon find out what a miserable duffer I was. "And Jappy, here, is no slouch. He's as shifty as the dickens." "The shiftier the better," said I, with great aplomb. Jasper, Jr., stuck out his chest modestly, and said: "Oh, piffle, Colly." But just the same I hadn't the least doubt in my mind that Jasper could "put it all over me."
I was just as Colly is, and I dare say it will be the believe, John, you are right; for it would never do for any of us to be ill when my daddy is in the bed, and we are all obliged, till he is better, to sleep on some straw, in the inner room, that we may not disturb him. But tell Miss Helen all about the chickens, and that I am very sorry to hear she is ill.
My last 'usband's left me since yer was 'ere indeed 'e 'av all along of a fight 'e 'ad with old Colly Moles down Three Barrer walk penal servitude, poor feller and all along of 'is nasty temper as I was always tellin' 'im.
"We shall not be taken there," cried Terence. "We shall turn robbers ourselves first. I will for one; and when I do, Golah shall be robbed of one of his slaves at least." "An' that wan will be Misther Terence O'Connor, av coorse?" said Bill. "Yes." "Thin ye will 'ave done no more than Master Colly, who has already robbed 'im av twa, the haffections av 'is wife an' bairn."
"I had just dropped into a kind of sleep, when I was awakened by Colly barking most piteously. Up I jumped, glad to think that David was come back; but, on opening the door, only Colly was to be seen. The moment he beheld me, he took hold of my apron, and tried to draw me out of the house.
"What do you mean, Colly?" asked the impatient Hibernian. "To see if the tide's still rising," was the explanation given by the Scotch youth. "And what if it be?" demanded Terence. "Only, that if it be, we will never more see the old sailor in the land of the living. We may look for his lifeless corpse after it has been washed ashore." "Ah! I comprehend you," said Terence.
Another dog, a Scotch colly, came up at the time, and seeing the distress of his crony, laid himself down gently beside him, and gaining his confidence by a few caresses, proceeded to gnaw the string by which the noisy appendage was attached to his friend's tail, and by about a quarter of an hour's exertion, severed the cord, and started to his legs, with the pan hanging from the string in his mouth, and after a few joyful capers around his friend, departed on his travels, in the highest glee at his success.
Small as had been the amount of sangleh with which Colin had been served, he had not eaten more than one half of it. "Why, puir Maister Colly, what is wrang wi' ye?" exclaimed Bill, in a tone expressing fear and pity. "If ye dinna eat, mon, ye'll dee." "I'm quite well," answered Colin, "but I have had plenty, and any of you can take what is left."
