"It's all the heart of man, Sam," observed his wife, eying him with affectionate admiration. "When the heart's in the right place, nothing will go wrong." Now, nothing gratified Sam so much as to hear his own apothegms honored by repetition. "Eight, girl," he replied; "shake hands for that. Dunphy, mark the truth of that. Isn't she worth gold, you sinner?" "Troth she is, Mr.
"You are aware," said the stranger, "that the son of the late Sir Edward Gourlay, and the heir of his property, disappeared very mysteriously and suspiciously " "And so did the son of the present man," replied Dunphy, eying the stranger keenly.
When Skipton, the messenger, who returned with Dunphy, or Corbet, as we shall in future call him, entered the watch-house, he drew Darby aside, and held some private conversation with him, of which it was evident that Corbet was the subject, from the significant glances which each turned upon him from time to time.
You know the affection I have for the young man; thank you, Dunphy; but it's natural it's all the heart of man. Dunphy, how long is it, now, since you and I messed together in the gallant eleven times three? Fifty years, I think, Dunphy, or more. You were a smart fellow then, and became servant, I think, to a young captain what's this his name was? oh!
"There he is," said the man, "standing with a whip in his hand that tall, handsome young fellow." Dunphy, who was sufficiently near to get a clear view of him, was instantly struck by his surprising resemblance to Miss Gourlay, whom he had often seen in town. A Peep at Lord Dunroe and His Friend.
"Dunphy," said Sam, "I, believe our fire is beginning to slacken; but come, let us give the enemy another round, the citadel is nearly won is on the point of surrender." "Begad," replied Dunphy, who was well acquainted with his friend's phraseology, and had seen some service, as already intimated, in the same regiment, some fifty years before. "I must lay down my arms for the present."
Do you think Beck would treat old Sam so? No. And my rule is, and ever has been, treat your wife with confidence if you respect her, and expect confidence in your turn. No, no; poor Beck must have it if I have it. The truth is, I have no secrets, and never had. I keep none, Dunphy, and that's but natural; however, it's all the heart of man."
Then breaking into a hearty laugh "he meant no offence, Beck," he added; "he respects and loves you I know he does as who doesn't that knows you, my girl?" "What I meant to say, Mr. Roberts " "Mrs. Roberts, sir; direct the apology to herself." "Well, then, what I wanted to say, Mrs. "Well done thank you, Dunphy thank you, honest old Dunphy; shake hands. He's a fine old fellow, Beck, isn't he, eh?"
"I say, old Corbet, or Dunphy, or whatever the devil they call you; here's a relation of yours by the mother's side only, you old dog mark that; here I am, Ambrose Gray, a gentleman in disguise, as you well know; and I want you to bail me out." "An' a respectable way you ax it," said Dunphy, putting on his spectacles, and looking at him through the bars. "Respect!
Roberts," said Dunphy, "if you have no objection, I didn't care if I turned into bed; I'm not accustomed to travelin', and I'm a thrifle fatigued; only tomorrow morning, plaise God, I have something to say to you about that boy that may surprise you." "Not a syllable, Dunphy, nothing about him that could surprise me."
