Necessity, thought I, has no law; my adorable girl must eat elephant, until she can get something better. I rushed into the court where the men were, for the most part, assembled. "Men," said I, "our larder is empty; we must fill it as we did the day before yesterday. Who will follow Gahagan on a foraging party?" I expected that, as on former occasions, every man would offer to accompany me.
I would I WOULD advance, if but to gaze upon her for a moment, and to bless her as she slept. I DID look, I DID advance; and, O heaven! I saw a lamp burning, Mrs. Jow. in a nightdress, with a very dark baby in her arms, and Julia looking tenderly at an ayah, who was nursing another. "Oh, mamma," said Julia, "what would that fool Gahagan say if he knew all?"
O gentlemen, gentlemen! that you should ever have come to the quarters of Goliah Gahagan, and he been without " "What?" said they, in a breath. "Alas! alas! I have not got a single stick of chocolate in the whole house." "Well, well, we can do without it." "Or a single pound of coffee." "Never mind; let that pass too."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you what there is now," shouted I. "There's "Two drumsticks of fowls, and a bone of ham. Fourteen bottles of ginger-beer," &c. &c. &c. And I went through the whole list of eatables as before, ending with the ham-sandwiches and the pot of jelly. "Law! Mr. Gahagan," said Mrs. Colonel Vandegobbleschroy, "give me the ham-sandwiches I must manage to breakfast off them."
'Gahagan, wrote he, 'to be a subaltern is evidently not your fate YOU WERE BORN FOR COMMAND; but Lake and General Wellesley are good officers, they cannot be turned out I must make a post for you. What say you, my dear fellow, to a corps of IRREGULAR HORSE?
Who is there here that knows not the difference between yonder yellow-skinned coward and Gahagan Khan Guj I mean Bobbachy Bahawder? I am ready to fight one, two, three, or twenty of them, at broad-sword, small-sword, single- stick, with fists if you please.
I respect my commander, I esteem your excellent and beauteous mother: tell me, before I leave you, if I may hope for a return of my affection. Say that you love me, and I will do such deeds in this coming war, as shall make you proud of the name of your Gahagan." The old woman, as I delivered these touching words, stared, snapped, and ground her teeth, like an enraged monkey.
"Well, well; it was so. Your brother was a Count, and died a General in my service." Gahagan. "He was found lying upon the bodies of nine-and-twenty Cossacks at Borodino. They were all dead, and bore the Gahagan mark." "C'est vrai, Montholon: je vous donne ma parole d'honneur la plus sacree, que c'est vrai. Ils ne sont pas d'autres, ces terribles Ga'gans.
In the year 1749, were executed at Tyburn, Usher Gahagan, Terence O'Connor, and Joseph Mapham, for filing gold money. Adams, the recorder, which are published in the ordinary's account, together with a poetical address to the Duchess of Queensbury, by Connor.
The next minute, Glogger and Stuffle were in my arms, Pappendick leading on the Irregulars. Friend and foe in that wild chase had swept far away. We were alone: I was freed from my immense bar; and ten minutes afterwards, when Lord Lake trotted up with his staff, he found me sitting on it. "Look at Gahagan," said his Lordship.
