Sorra warrant, then, I'd grant against Misther John this bout." "And what would you do, Sam?" "I'd bind Hourigan over to keep the pace."
"Well, and many a betther man did. I expect him and Hourigan both here tonight." "An' what name does he go by now?" she asked. "By the name of Phil Hart; and remember when there's any stranger present, you're never to call him anything else but above all things, and upon the peril of your life, never call him Mark Ratigan."
Such language, sirra, was seditious!" "Yes," replied Hourigan, "and you would be right; but there is not one word of truth in what Mr.
As the last person concluded, Purcel and the female portion of his family drew up under the shadow of the tree already alluded to, which here overhung the road, so that he came right in contact with the crowd. "Ah, boys," said he, with his characteristic good-humor, "how are you all? Darby Hourigan, how are your family? Isn't this glorious weather, boys?"
Before this weighty matter was determined, Fergus O'Driscol, although satisfied that Hourigan and their new laborer were acquainted, resolved to corroborate his evidence of the fact, if possible, and for this purpose he sent the fellow, as had been agreed on, to walk Purcel's horse up and down the lower part of the avenue, near the entrance gate, which was somewhat secluded and not within view of the house, for the avenue was a winding one.
"Blessed weather, sir," replied Hourigan, who became in some degree spokesman. "I hope your honor an' the mistress, sir, an' the young ladies is all well." "My honor, as you are pleased to call me, was never better in my life; as for the mistress and the young ladies there they are, so judge for yourself, Darby: but Darby my good friend, you have a d d sneaking, slavish way with you.

"Well, then, your honor, I will, on your account, and bekaise, as your worship says, bekaise one good tarn desarues another, an' ought to get it. I'm satisfied for the present." And as he spoke, he turned, in a skulking, furtive manner, such a look upon Purcel as we will not attempt to describe.
"Certainly, Hourigan, I shall hem I shall always administer justice impartially impartially no one can question that. "Hourigan, my good fellow," said Purcel, "take care of what you are about.
"Beggin' your pardon, your worship an' before you begin as I was comin' down here a while agone," said Hourigan, "I seen a strange and suspicious-lookin' man inside the hedge at the shrubbery below; he was an ill-faced villain, plaise your reverence, an' I thought I seen his pockets stickin' out as if he had pistols in them. I thought it better to tell your worship."
"Certainly, sir, without hesitation." "Because if he does, Hourigan, I shall be obliged, according to Act of Parliament, sir " Hourigan interrupted him by a groan, and a rather significant shrug. "What do you shrug and groan for, sir?" asked the man of law, who felt both acts incompatible with the respect due to the court.
