"There's me lovely mate lying there dying of the dysentry," says the Flour, "and you've got to fix him up and bring him round." 'Then he shook his fist in the doctor's face and said "If you let that lovely man die look out!" 'The doctor was startled. He backed off at first; then he took a puff at his cigar, stepped forward, had a careless look at Dinny, and gave some order to the attendants.
The blow was aimed at Dinny Johnny, but the moment was miscalculated, and it fell on "Matchbox" instead. The sharp blade gashed her hind quarter, but with a spring like a frightened deer she rose to the jump.
Dinny Johnny ran to the door, moved by an impulse for which I think the hot whisky and water must have been responsible. "I'll give you twelve pounds for the pony, ma'am!" he called out. A quarter of an hour later, when he and the publican were tying a tow-rope round the pony's lean neck, Mr. Denny was aware of a sinking of the heart as he surveyed his bargain.
Now, Dinny, let us have a hate at histhory." "A hate at histhory? wid all my heart; but before we begin, I tell you that I'll confound you precipitately; for you see, if you bate me in the English, I'll scarify you wid Latin, and give you a bang or two of Greek into the bargain. Och!
They were at the camp. Farwell jumped out inviting McCrae to put his team up and come to his quarters. McCrae refused. It was late; he must be getting back. "Just as you say," said Farwell. "I'm coming over to your ranch now and then, if you don't mind." "Come along," said McCrae. "Latchstring's always out. You, Jeff; you, Dinny! G'lang, boys!"
Denny, if you rode 'Matchbox' yourself straight to Madore across the river, you'd be in time to whip them off!" "By Jove!" said Dinny Johnny, and was silent. I believe that was the moment at which the identity of the future Mrs. Denny was made clear to him.
"The poor creature!" she wept. "The poor ol' man. Poor Dinny!" Mrs. Byrne folded her arms. "Mary Cregan," she said, in hoarse disgust, "when yuh've done makin' a fool o' yerself, I'll trouble yuh to listen to me. Now! If y' ever breathe a word o' this to Cregan, he'll laugh himself blind! Mind yuh that! He'll not believe yuh. No one'll believe yuh. No one!
I wondered! who could be up so early, an' puttin' my head through the door, there was Dinny busy at it, wid an ould knife in one hand, an' an iron skiver in the other imitatin' a fork. "'What are you doin' so early, Dinny? says I. "'I'm practisin', says he. "'What for? says I.
Dinny Dempsey supplied the music on the Irish pipes, which was in itself a novelty so appealing that he had to repeat, and Myles to dance, until both were fairly used up. It was eleven o'clock and after when Handy and his company started in for the wind-up, with their familiar old stand-by, "The Strollers' Medley." What it was all about no one present could tell.
Johnny Denny or Dinny Johnny as he was known to his wittier friends was a young man of the straightest sect of the Cork buckeens, a body whose importance justifies perhaps a particular description of one of their number.
