'He can't, PLASE your honour they're engaged. Half a crown! a crown! half a guinea! said Mr. Dennis Garraghty, raising his voice, as he increased his proffered bribe. To each offer Larry replied, 'You can't, PLASE your honour, they're engaged; and, looking up to the window at Lord Colambre, he said, 'as soon as they have eaten their oats, you shall have 'em. No other horses were to be had.
Upon a fair calculation of the profits of the ground, and from other items in the account, Nicholas Garraghty, Esq., appeared at last to be, not the creditor, but the debtor to Lord Clonbrony.
Garraghty had been attentive to his little pupils, and his instructions were sufficient to give them a relish for education a circumstance which did not escape the observation of their parents, who duly appreciated it.
'Oh, don't be ashamed there's no strangeness in bringing money or taking it, said Mr. Nicholas Garraghty, holding out his hand. 'Is this the proper compliment? 'I hope so, sir; your honour knows best. 'Very well, slipping it into his private purse. 'Now, what's your business? 'The LASES to sign the rent's all paid up. 'Leases! Why, woman, is the possession given up?
Mat's predecessor was a James Garraghty, a lame young man, the son of a widow, whose husband lost his life in attempting to extinguish a fire that broke out in the dwelling-house of Squire Johnston, a neighboring magistrate.
"Why, after prayers, we had to go for the agent was not at prayers, nor at home for us, when we called we had to go all the way up to the castle; and there, by great good luck, we found Mr. Nick Garraghty himself, come from Dublin, and the lase in his hands; and he sealed it up that way, and handed it to me very civil.
Garraghty ordered," said the footman; "because the office is damp for him, and it's not there he'll see any body to-day; but in my lady's dressing-room." So up the grand staircase they went, and through the magnificent apartments, hung with pictures of great value, spoiling with damp. "Then, isn't it a pity to see them? There's my lady, and all spoiling," said the widow.
Garraghty, without saying a word, was picking up the guineas that were scattered upon the floor. "How fortunate I am," cried Lord Colambre, "to have arrived just in time to tell you, my dear father, before you put your signature to these papers, before you conclude this bargain, all I know, all I have seen of that man!"
After the Union these were bought by citizens and tradesmen, who spoiled, by the mixture of their own fancies, what had originally been designed by men of good taste. Some time after Lord Colambre's arrival in Dublin, he had an opportunity of seeing one of these villas, which belonged to Mrs. Raffarty, a grocer's lady, and sister to one of Lord Clonbrony's agents, Mr. Nicholas Garraghty.
'It's all in vain, cried Lord Clonbrony; 'I have no resource but one, and I must condescend now to go to him this minute, for Mordicai will be back and seize all I must sign and leave all to Garraghty. 'Well, sign, sign, my lord, and settle with Garraghty. Colambre, I've heard all the complaints you brought over against that man.
