Now, sir," he added, "there's two ways to Hickman's; and between you and me agin' Mr. Hickman is a real gentleman, exceptin' his little failings about M'Clutchy; but who is widout them? I dunna, but it would be as well if he had remained agent still; and when you see him, if you happen to say that Darby O'Drive tould you so, I think he'll understand you.
Just touch that part of it so " "Yes touch and go." "Exactly touch and go. Well, you pass then to the political portion of it. Hickman's political opinions are not well known, or at least doubtful. Indeed you have reason to believe that he will not support his lordship or his family is not in the confidence of government displeased at the Union and grumbles about corruption.
And now, truly, to save a stubborn spirit, we are only to be sounded, that the application may be occasionally retracted or denied! Upon the whole: were I inclined to plead for her, it is now the most improper of all times. Hickman's insinuated application; and been applauded for it.

"'As we-all is sailin' thoughtlessly along the trail, Dobbin ups an' bolts.
