In his youth Halpin Frayser had lived with his parents in Nashville, Tennessee. The Fraysers were well-to-do, having a good position in such society as had survived the wreck wrought by civil war. Their children had the social and educational opportunities of their time and place, and had responded to good associations and instruction with agreeable manners and cultivated minds.
I did not belong to the Fenian confederacy anterior to the period that Corydon and Devany allege that they saw me act as centre and secretary to Fenian meetings; that, anterior to that period, I never took act or part in the Fenian conspiracy up to the period of my leaving America. Does it do me any good to make these statements? I ask favours, as Halpin said, from no man.
And in the end, if the matter goes to court, you will not only have to yield this right of way, but be compelled to pay costs of suit and such damages as may be awarded against you for expense and trouble occasioned Mr. Halpin. Now let me counsel you to avoid all these consequences, if possible." "Oh, you needn't suppose all this array of consequences will frighten me," said Mr. Bolton.
This invitation the yard's owner accepted, asking only time enough to arrange for keeping some of his workmen over-time, awaiting the coming of flood-tide.

He looked far more like a comfortable Irish parish priest.
It was Halpin Frayser's impression that he was to be garroted on his native heath. "Are there not medicinal springs in California?" Mrs. Frayser resumed before he had time to give her the true reading of the dream "places where one recovers from rheumatism and neuralgia? Look my fingers feel so stiff; and I am almost sure they have been giving me great pain while I slept."
"It was kind in you very kind!" returned Mr. Bolton. He could say no less. But, oh! how rebuked and dissatisfied he felt. "About that right of way," he stammered out, after a brief silence, partly averting his eyes as he spoke. "Oh, we'll not speak of that now," returned Mr. Halpin cheerfully. "Let's get better acquainted first." "But, Mr. Halpin I I" They were now at the gate entering upon Mr.

And now, Mr. Benson, since you and Mr. Hastings are not fit to instruct the cadets to-day, I’ll send out sections under Lieutenant Halpin on board the ’Pollard’ only.
Bolton," calmly replied the other, "in purchasing, you secured an outlet to the public road." "Certainly I did; but not through your farm, nor that of any one else."
