He caught Gallagher by the arm as he spoke and held him fast Young Kerrigan reached the end of his tune with a triumphant flourish. Dr. O'Grady put on his hat again. One by one the various bystanders followed his example. Lord Alfred Blakeney looked round him, puzzled. "Surely that wasn't the National Anthem?" he said. "I thought," said Dr. O'Grady, "that you didn't know one tune from another."
Gallagher nerved himself to fight it through alone. Mile after mile of the time-killing track swung slowly to the rear, and there was not even the flick of speed to help in the grim battle. Dawn came when the end-of-track camp was still forty miles away, but the breaking day brought no surcease of strugglings.
Billing the usual quantity of Irish whisky in the bottom of a tumbler with a bottle of soda water. Doyle and Thady Gallagher, left alone in the street, stared at each other in silence. It was Doyle who spoke first: "What you want, Thady," he said, "is a drop of something to drink, to revive the courage in you." "What sort of a fellow is that at all?" said Thady hoarsely.
He appeared to have nothing more to say and to have mentioned Mr. Ford's name merely for the sake of making conversation. But Gallagher wished to develop the subject. "What about Mr. Ford?" he said, after a long silence. "He's terrible down on the erection of the statue to General John Regan." "I'm that myself," said Gallagher. "Mr.
All you have to do is buy timber land you can get it for a song plant your rubber-seed, and let 'er go, Gallagher! In ten years you go back, cut off your timber, sell it for enough to make you rich, and there is your rubber velvet!" he concluded, triumphantly. "Rubber velvet?" "Yes. It's 'velvet' all clear. You can't lose. My boy, there's a thousand ways to get rich down here, and I know 'em all.
What was more important to him, this had all been done without exciting hard feelings. "Stirling's a reasonable fellow," Gallagher told Costell, not knowing how much Peter was seeing of the big leader, "and he isn't dead set on carrying his own schemes. We've never had so little talk of mutiny and sulking as we have had this paring. Moriarty and Blunkers swear by him. It's queer.
"What I'm trying to tell you," said Father McCormack, "and what I would tell you if you'd listen to me, is that there's somebody knocking at the door of the room we're in and whoever it is must have heard every word that's been said this last five minutes." Doyle and Gallagher stopped growling at each other when the priest spoke. Dr.
Scarcely had it been put in order, when Peter was asked to dine at his clergyman's, and the next day came another invitation, to dine with Justice Gallagher. Peter began to wonder if he had decided wisely in vamping the old suit. He had one of the pleasantest evenings of his life at Dr. Purple's.
So Peter told about Dennis and Blunkers, and the "b'ys" in the saloons; about Green and his fellow delegates; about the Honorable Mr., Mrs., and Miss Gallagher, and their dinner companions. He did not satirize in the least.
From Sergeant Colgan he got nothing except a guess that the General might have been one of the Fenians. Dr. O'Grady, before the appearance of the article, promised that it would contain all that anyone needed to know. After the article was published Gallagher was ashamed to ask for further information, because he did not want to confess himself an Irishman unworthy of the name.
