Finnegan's troops from Florida, Beauregard's from Charleston, Pickett's from North Carolina, Buckner's from Western Virginia, and Breckenridge's from the Shenandoah, at the close of the month, are fighting against General Grant at Coal Harbor.
Girls don't like to go with fellows when they come out of saloons, but I wasn't drinking, you know." "Oh, weren't you?" "No," he said hastily. And then to cover a possible misconception of his meaning, "But of course I would drink, if I wanted to. I don't see any difference between having a drink at Finnegan's and having it in a club uptown." She regarded him for a moment in silence and then,
His face was a little pale but he smiled cheerfully enough when he reached the ring. He shook hands with Gannon, whom he had met at Finnegan's, and then, with a show of real enjoyment, with Clancy conversing with a composure that left nothing to be desired. The crowd, like Jack and me, was comparing them.
"You do belong to some of the clubs, then?" "Oh, yes. The Cosmos, the Butterfly and several others " He broke off with a laugh. "You see, I'm supposed to be something of a swell" "You don't look much of a swell today," she said with a glance at his clothes. "And Finnegan's, though exclusive for the Bowery, is hardly what might be called smart. I am curious, Jerry.
"It is, isn't it?" he stammered. "But I I'll explain in a minute if you'll let me walk with you." "Of course, I can have no objection," she said coolly. Jerry threw the cigarette away. "I suppose you think it's very curious to see me down here at Finnegan's," Jerry repeated. No reply. "I've been there on er a matter of business with with Flynn. He's my athletic instructor, you know.
"Yes," she would repeat, emphatically, "they served cigarettes along with the wine. They always do." "Well, Mrs. Robson," Mrs. Finnegan inevitably returned, "far be it from me to criticize what your daughter's friends do. But I don't approve of women smoking." As a matter of fact, neither did Mrs. Robson, but she felt in duty bound to resent Mrs. Finnegan's narrow attacks upon society.
Behind her, hid in a hollow, stood the small cottage where, at that very moment, her grandmother was preparing the evening meal. And, beyond, in the village was the little old stone church and Father Murphy's square bit of a house with its wide doorstep and its roof of thatch, and Widow Mulligan's and the Denny's and the Finnegan's and all the others.
It was not until several days later that I heard from Jerry how they had happened to meet. It seems that after leaving Ballard's apartment Jerry had gone home, attired himself in his old suit and made his way to meet Flynn, with whom he had an appointment to go down to Finnegan's saloon to attend to some final details of his match with Clancy.
Up to Finnegan's Crossing they had managed to get Indians to carry the twenty-five hundred-pound outfit. From that point their own backs must do the work. They planned to move forward at the rate of a mile a day. It looked easy on paper.
There had been nothing in Susan's experience to enable her to dispute this. "Now, I'm going to stand behind you. I'll see that you don't get pinched, and get you out if you do. I'll see that you get the best the city's got if you're sick and so on. I've got a pull with the organization. I'm one of Finnegan's lieutenants.
