He was from home at the time, but at eight o'clock I was sent for from the mess to see two gentlemen on most pressing business. I hurried to my quarters, and there found the aforesaid Mr. B. accompanied by a friend, whom he introduced as Dr. De Courcy Finucane, of the North Cork Militia as warlike looking a gentleman, of his inches, some five feet three, as you would wish to see.
"Pendennis's uncle, the Major, seldom does anything without me; and as he is likely to be extravagant we've tied up the property, so that he can't make ducks and drakes with it. How do you do, my lord? Do you know that gentleman, ladies? You have read his speeches in the House; it is Lord Rochester." "Lord Fiddlestick," cried out Finucane, from the box.
Here it was that Mr. Jack Finucane, the sub-editor, compiled with paste and scissors the Journal of which he was supervisor. With an eagle eye he scanned all the paragraphs of all the newspapers which had anything to do with the world of fashion over which he presided.
So could Devers himself, or Haney, or Finucane, or a dozen others of the command who must know that wasn't their trail." "I fear me, Davies," said Leonard, gravely, "that some of the very men you name have told it, if not sworn to it, the other way, and that your captain has allowed it to be accepted as the basis of his release from accountability."
"Sure it's Tom Staples, of the Morning Advertiser, Archer." "Is it?" Archer said, simply. "Well I'm very short-sighted, and upon my word I thought it was Rochester. "You know 'em because you see 'em in the House," growled Finucane. "I know them because they are kind enough to allow me to call them my most intimate friends," Archer continued.
"Why, Doctor Doctor Finucane," cried I, "is this possible? were you really the inside in the mail last night." "Devil a doubt of it, Mr. Lorrequer; and may I make bould to ask, were you the outside?" "Then what, may I beg to know, did you mean by your damned story about Barney Doyle, and the hydrophobia, and Cusack Rooney's thumb eh?"
Lorrequer's permission I'm your slave, gentlemen," said Fin, finishing off his glass. "Oh, as for me," I cried, "Dr. Finucane has my full permission to detail whatever he pleases to think a fit subject for your amusement." "Come then, Doctor, Harry has no objection you see; so out with it, and we are all prepared to sympathise with your woes and misfortunes, whatever they be."
"You shall hear it from the fountain-head," said the president, "fresh from New York," and he pointed to an individual seated in the centre of the table. "Ah! Colonel Finucane," said the general, "I have not forgotten James River. You did that well. What is the trick now?"
We, accordingly, lifted him from off the car, and assisted him into the house, and following Finucane down a narrow passage, at last reached a most comfortable little chamber, with a neat bed; here we placed him, while the doctor gave some directions to a bare-headed, red-legged hussey, without shoes or stockings, and himself proceeded to examine the wound, which was a more serious one than it at first appeared.
