"Master! you mind my mintioning to you last time I seen your honour, that my leg was weak by times, no fault though to the doctor that cured it so I could not be after carrying the weighty loads I used up and down the ladders at every call, so I quit sarving the masons, and sought for lighter work, and found an employ that shuted me with a jantleman painter", grinding of his colours, and that was what I was at this morning, so I was, and standing as close to him as I am this minute to your honour, thinking of nothing at all just now, please your honour, forenent him asy grinding, whin he took some sort or kind of a fit."
He lives just by here, in the country, under-agent to Lord Clonbrony, as Old Nick is upper-agent it's only a joke among the people, that are not fond of them at all. Lord Clonbrony himself is a very good jantleman, if he was not an absentee, resident in London, leaving us and every thing to the likes of them."
I would not use any jantleman so ill, barring I could do no other," replied the postilion, coolly: then, leaping across the ditch, or, as he called it, the gripe of the ditch, he scrambled up, and while he was scrambling, said, "If your honour will lend me your hand, till I pull you up the back of the ditch, the horses will stand while we go.
They say, he is a very good jantleman, and as unlike old Nick or the saint as can be; and takes no duty fowl, nor glove, nor sealing-money; nor asks duty work nor duty turf.
Oh, if it had but plased Heaven to have cast me my lot in the sarvice of a raal jantleman or lady instead of the likes of these! Now, I'd rather be a dog in his honour's or her honour's house than lie under the tongue, of Miss Gallagher, as I do to say nothing of ould Christy. Miss GALLAGHER'S voice heard, calling, Biddy! Biddy Doyle! Biddy, can't ye? Biddy.
"Your honour, my lord, is a very happy jantleman, and a very good jantleman, there's no doubt, and there's few but would be proud to be like you in any thing at all." "Thank you for that compliment. But now, in plain English, as to yourself, would you like to be in my place to change places with me?" "In your honour's place I! I would not, my lord; and that's the truth, now," said he, decidedly.
"Pray, my good friend, may I ask what that is you have on your shoulder?" said Lord Colambre. "Plase your honour, it is only a private still, which I've just caught out yonder in the bog; and I'm carrying it in with all speed to the gauger, to make a discovery, that the jantleman may benefit by the reward: I expect he'll make me a compliment."
What is there again Counshillor O'Blaney? Honor. Counshillor! First place, why do you call him counshillor? he never was a raal counshillor sure nor jantleman at all. Phil. Oh! counshillor by courtesy he was an attorney once just as we doctor the apotecary. Honor. But, Phil, was not there something of this man's being dismissed the courts for too sharp practice? Phil.
They brought, in corroboration of their arguments or assertions, the example and constant practice of "many as good a jantleman as any in Ireland, who had his rent made up for him that ways, very ready and punctual. There was his honour, Mr. Such-a-one, and so on; and there was Sir Ulick O'Shane, sure!
Honor. Recollect it was he that would have dishonoured my family, in me, if he could. Old McB. But he repints now; and what can a man do but repint, and offer to make honourable restitution, and thinking of marrying, as now, Honor dear; is not that a condescension of he, who's a sort of a jantleman? Honor. A sort, indeed a bad sort. Old McB. Why, not jantleman born, to be sure. Honor. Nor bred.
