Sir Henry was a Deputy-Lieutenant of the county; he was a baronet of ancient blood; he was a magistrate of ten years' standing; and he was famous above all as the breeder of many a good horse and the most desperate rider in all the Weald country.
O'Grady satisfied himself by a series of experiments that the apparatus would work. At a single pull at the end of the string the whole sheet fluttered to the ground and exposed the Deputy-Lieutenant to public view. It was ten o'clock before these arrangements were completed and the step-ladders taken away. Dr.
Can we possibly ask the Lord-Lieutenant to come here and unveil a statue of General John Regan whoever he was when all we've got is a statue of some other man? Quite possibly the Lord-Lieutenant may have known that Deputy-Lieutenant personally, and if he recognises the statue where shall we be?" "There's something in what the Major says," said Father McCormack.
I asked him again what the devil he had to do with my business. This made him angry and he began to stammer. 'I'll teach you what I have to do with it. I'm a deputy-lieutenant of this county, and I have Admiralty instructions to watch the coast. Damn it, sir, I've a wire here from the Chief Constable describing you.
In the case of the Deputy-Lieutenant, who was almost certainly a strong Unionist, this may have symbolised an appeal to the higher powers the House of Lords, or even the King to refuse consent to a Home Rule Bill.

We shan't be doing any injury to the General's reputation by allowing him to be represented by a man of high position, most likely of good family, who was at all events supposed to be well off before he died." "I wasn't thinking of the General's reputation," said the Major. "I don't care a hang " "I don't see that we are bound to consider the feelings of the Deputy-Lieutenant," said Dr. O'Grady.
For let me tell you, gentlemen, that statue would have been a serious loss to him if " "I'm not thinking of him or Doyle's nephew either," said the Major. "I don't know who that Deputy-Lieutenant was, and I don't care if his statue was stuck up in every market town in Ireland."
He sold his share in some mine to pay for it, settled here, and died here; and his son, getting on in the world, built a house, and took to serious smuggling. Becoming a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant, he had the duty and privilege of inquiring into his own deeds, which enabled him to check those few who otherwise might have competed with him.
