"No," replied Kate, "it is no such thing she must either state the whole truth or nothing; that's what I want, an' what she must do put the saddle on the right horse, Nanny since you will spake." "It is a good proverbial illustration," observed Finigan, "but I will improve it put the saddle of infamy, I say, upon the right horse, Nanny.
"So shall 'the accomplished. Clinton and I shall honor that lugubrious ceremony with our presence; but as respecting the clodhopper himself, meaning thereby Bryan of Ahadarra, he is provided for. What an unlucky thought to enter into the old fellow's noddle! However, non constat, as Finigan would say, time will develop."
Hycy and his friend, Harry Clinton, of course rode together, Finigan, the schoolmaster, keeping as near them as he could; but not so near as to render his presence irksome to them, when he saw that they had no wish for it. "Well, Harry," said his companion, "what do you think of the last scene?" "You allude to Cavanagh's handsome young son, and the very pretty girl that fainted, poor thing!"
When William Hogan was arrested in Birmingham, charged with supplying the arms used in the Manchester Rescue, Michael Breslin was in the house at the time. Questioned by the police, he described himself as a traveller in the tea trade for Mr. James Lysaght Finigan, of Liverpool. James Lysaght Finigan was a good type of the Liverpool-born Irishman, educated by the Christian Brothers.
Well, then, Mr. Burke, I shall not deal out my confidence by beggarly instalments I did hear Bryan M'Mahon's name mentioned; and I heard a plan alluded to between you and them for reducing him to " "That was all humbug, Finigan, so far as I am concerned; but for the present I am obliged to let them suppose what you allude to, in order to keep them honest to myself if I can.
'Come, Finigan, says a strange voice, 'put out the candle, except you wish us to make a candlestick of the thatch, says he 'or to give you a prod of a bagnet under the ribs, says he. "It was a folly for one man to go to bell-the-cat with a whole crowd; so he blew the candle out, and next minute they rushed in, and went as straight as a rule to Mary's bed.
"I hope," he added, "you are satisfied now, Mr. Finigan." "I see," replied Sam, "that you've kissed the book when you were made to do it; but I see jist as clearly that the sorra much truth are we goin' to get out of yoU." The case then proceeded; but as it would prove, probably, rather tiresome to the generality of our readers, we shall not give it at length.
Hogan, is let me see why to to marry her to bind her in the bands of holy wedlock; and you know, when I do, I'm to give you all a house and place free gratis for nothing during your lives that's what I pledge myself to do, and not a rope to hang yourselves, worthy gentlemen, as Finigan would say.
After the war he came into the office of the "Catholic Times," when I was manager and John McArdle editor of that paper. We welcomed him, of course, not only as an old friend and brother journalist, but as one who had been fighting for France. In his "Camp Fires of the Legion" written for my "Irish Library," James Lysaght Finigan tells of his adventures in the war.
When they had left the house a bit, the priest sent after them 'Jemmy, says he to Finigan, 'I forgot a circumstance, and that is, to tell you that I will go and marry them at your own house, and bring Father James, my curate with me. 'Oh, wurrah, no, said both, 'don't mention that, your Reverence, except you wish to break their hearts, out and out! why, that would be a thousand times worse nor making them stand to do penance: doesn't your Reverence know that if they hadn't the pleasure of running for the bottle, the whole wedding wouldn't be worth three half-pence? 'Indeed, I forgot that, Jemmy. 'But sure, says my uncle, 'your Reverence and Father James must be at it, whether or not for that we intended from the first. 'Tell them I'll run for the bottle, too, says the priest, laughing, 'and will make some of them look sharp, never fear.
