"Hold har-rd or you'll run her down." "Now then, Riley, look alive, is it slapin' ye are!" "Hold yer jaw, Flanigan, and stand ready with the boat-hook. Now then, hold har-rd!" The sudden jarring and tilting of the water-logged boat, a sound of rasping timbers, the swarming of men in shirtsleeves and blue trousers around her, seemed to rouse her momentarily, but she again fainted away.
Bunker better go to Mrs. Flanigan?" "I think not," said the general, with a significant look at the officer as he gallantly offered his arm to the astonished Mrs. Bunker, "if she will allow me the pleasure of taking her to my wife." There was an equally marked respect in the manner of the men and officers as Mrs.
Flanigan, of Company K, whose quarters adjoined those to which the Clancys had recently been assigned. When that Hibernian culprit returned to his roof-tree, released from durance vile, he was surprised to receive a kindly and sympathetic welcome from his captain's wife, who with her own hand had mixed him some comforting drink and was planning with Mrs. Clancy for their greater comfort.
Shure not only did the lootenant an' Misther Blake give me a fine charactther and ten dollars to boot, but the moment do I get out of the gyard-house Mrs. Thruscott sends Flanigan for me, an' when I get there shure it's the young leddy as wants to see me. 'You're a good soldier, Mr.
From Miss Edgeworth he received personally a tribute to his success in delineating the characters in which her own reputation had been largely won. On reading "The Spy," she sent him a message, that she liked Betty Flanigan particularly, and that no Irish pen could have drawn her better.
"And where did ye drift from, darlint?" Mrs. Bunker bridled feebly at the epithet. "I didn't drift. I was going to the Fort." "The Fort, is it?" "Yes. I want to see the general." "Wadn't the liftenant do ye? Or shure there's the adjutant; he's a foine man." "Silence, Flanigan," said the young officer sharply. Then turning to Mrs.
Its success called for a new edition the following March, and its translation into many foreign tongues. Of Cooper's "Betty Flanigan" Miss Edgeworth declared, "An Irish pen could not have drawn her better." The glory that Cooper justly won was reflected on his country, of whose literary independence he was the pioneer. 'The Spy' had the charm of reality; it tasted of the soil."

I owed it for the rint. Then I set out to hunt work. Ivery day I walked and walked and ivery day I carried the baby, for where could I leave her?

Sometimes I think he is fibbing, but a glance at his soft, dark, far-seeing eyes under their fringe of thick lashes convinces me to the contrary.
Downey is not dead, because there wasn't any Mrs. Downey! Her part was played by George F. Fenwick, of Sydney, a 'ticket-of-leave-man, who was, they say, a good actor. Downey? Oh, yes Downey was Jem Flanigan, who, in '52, used to run the variety troupe in Australia, where Miss Somerset made her debut. Stand back a little, boys. Steady! 'The money? Oh, yes, they've got away with that, sure!
