Barry had just succeeded in raising his sister to the sofa as he heard the knock. "Who's that?" he called out loudly; "what do you want?" "Plaze yer honer, Miss Anty's wanting in the kitchen." "She's busy, and can't come at present; she'll be there directly." "Is she ill at all, Mr. Barry? God bless you, spake, Miss Anty; in God's name, spake thin. Ah! Mr.
Look here; look at these boots," and I held up the shooting-shoes new from Burlington Arcade. "They cost thirty shillings thirty shillings! and I will give them to you for the loan of this pair of slippers." "They'd be no use at all to me, yer honer; not the laist use in life." "You could do with them very well for to-night, and then you could sell them.
It was like the memento mori of the old Roman; as though some one pointed in the midst of my bliss to the sword hung over my head by a thread. It was the voice of Larry, whispering in his agony just above my head "They's disthroying my poor feet intirely, intirely; so they is! I can't bear it much longer, yer honer."
"Sorrow a know, yer honer; ye see Barney brought them down here from the mountains when we warn't in it; and it war some of the boys up there was getting him to get away the malt unknownst, hearing of yer honer, maybe." "Ah, yes I see whose land is this on?" "Counseller Webb's, yer honer." "Who holds the cabin and potato garden?"
"Misther Thady, yer honer, Father John says as how he'll be glad av yer honer'll come down to dinner with him at six; and he says as how you must come, Mr. Thady, because divil a bit he'll ate himself, he says, till you're in it." "For shame, Patsy!" interposed Biddy, "putting those words into his riverence's mouth. I'm sure thin Father John wasn't cursing that way."
"Yz, yer honer," said one man who was standing, shaking himself, with his hands enveloped in the rags of his pockets. He had on no coat, and the keen north wind seemed to be blowing through his bones; cold, however, as he was, he would do nothing towards warming himself, unless that occasional shake can be considered as a doing of something.
Actuated by these apprehensions, Denis, on the morning of the wedding, had gone to Ussher to unfold his budget of dreadful news, to assure the Captain that his only object "was to get himself married," and to see that the "pigs and the thrifle of change were all right," and strongly to advise the Captain to stay away; "not that it wouldn't be a great honer for a poor boy like him to see his honer down there, for he had the greatest rispect in life for him, and all that wore the King's sword; but there war no knowing what them boys might be afther when they got the dhrink in them."
"Well, yer honer, Masther Barry," said Jacky, "don't forget your poor fool this blessed morning!" "Away with you! If I see you there again, I'll have you in Bridewell, you blackguard." "Ah, you're joking, Masther Barry. You wouldn't like to be afther doing that. So yer honer's been down to the widdy's? That's well; it's a fine thing to see you on good terms, since you're soon like to be so sib.
"Never mind me, Miss, if I could only get you and the Captain seated; yer honer," and she turned round with a curtsey to Ussher, "there's Denis and Pat there will do nothing in life to help me!" and the poor woman seemed at her wit's end to know how to arrange her guests.
"And that's it," said Tom O'Conor, laughing till I thought he would have fallen from his chair. "So you've got Larry's shoes on " "And very well he fills them," said Jack. "And it's his honer that's welcome to 'em," said Larry, grinning from ear to ear now that he saw that "the masther" was once more in a good humour. "I hope they'll be nice shoes for dancing," said Kate.
