He had swallowed successfully one or two small affronts from the passing Orangemen, because he was promise-bound and sober; but when one of the enemy, a boon companion on any other day, sought him out in the stable yard and, with the light of devilment in his eyes, walked up holding out a flask of whiskey and said: "Hartigan!
He had looked with untroubled eye upon many a hell of devilment in his time, but the sight of Captain Blood in this condition filled him with sudden grief. To express it he loosed an oath. It was his only expression for emotion of all kinds. Then he rolled forward, and dropped into a chair at the table, facing the Captain. "My God, Peter, what's this?" "Rum," said Peter. "Rum, from Jamaica."
A sergeant of police was shot in our last scrimmage, and they must fit some one over that. It's only natural. He was rash, or Starlight would never have dropped him that day. Not if he'd been sober either. We'd been drinking all night at that Willow Tree shanty. Bad grog, too! When a man's half drunk he's fit for any devilment that comes before him. Drink!
"May your sins be forgiven you!" cried Chesterfield, the apostle of training, as he and the Seraph came up to the table where Cecil and Cos Wentworth were breakfasting in the garden of the Stephanien on the race-day itself.

The landlord of the "Maiden Head" hurried into the room somewhat perturbed. "Best shut the window, gentlemen," said he. "This vile scum's none too nice.
The good Lord makes every man crazy when he is ripe for matrimony, so he can mate him off befo' he comes to." The Bishop shook his head: "I am glad I came out here to-day if for nothin' else to warn you to let that Biggers boy alone. He don't study nothin' but fast horses an' devilment." "I never seed a man have a wuss'r case," said Aunt Sally.
Jorgensen's made his pile over be Buniyong; an' Tommy th' Tit him what seconded me in th' bit iv a contention we had aboard have been rootin' out nuggets be th' tubful at Ballarat, an' talkin' fight and devilment t' th' min iv nights in th' intherests iv peace an' humanity an' good gover'mint.
We went to work and got everything ready, and by three o'clock we were off all three of us, and never in better heart in our lives for a bit of fun or devilment; it didn't matter which came first.
