"They're some of the evicted men, your honour," said my jarvey, with a twinkle in his eye; and then under his breath, "They'll be thinking your honour's came down to arrange it all. They think everybody that comes is come about an arrangement." "Oh, then, they all want it arranged!" "No; not all, but many of them do.
I started up at once, and notwithstanding all Tom's representations of the impossibility of my being in time, had despatched waiters in different directions for a jarvey, more than ever determined upon going; so often is it that when real reasons for our conduct are wanting, any casual or chance opposition confirms us in an intention which before was but uncertain.
Half a dozen hack-drivers were already extolling the merits of their various conveyances, and imploring his patronage. Selecting the best-looking car, he swung himself into his seat, while the "jarvey" hoisted his portmanteau on the other side. "Where to, yer honour?" inquired the latter, climbing to his place. "To Lisnahoe House," answered Hayes. "Where?"
They were dining in the hall at the table at which they had played cards the night before, Jarvey and Lord Almeric's servant attending them. Between the table and the staircase was a screen.
Some of them like it well enough going about like gentlemen with nothing to do, only their hands in their pockets." We turned out of the highway here and passed some very pretty cottages. "No, they're not for labourers, your honour," said my jarvey; "the estate built them for mechanics. It's the tenants look after the labourers, and little it is they do for them."
"The night is growing late and I want to get to the bottom of this business before we go to bed. Take some rum." Seeing there was nothing for it but to make a clean breast, Captain Jarvey Jessop wasted no further time in useless lamentation. He could have smashed Hurd easily enough, even though there was the risk of being shot.
I was in the Red Sea. I was in China and North America and South America. We was chased by pirates one voyage. I seen icebergs plenty, growlers. I was in Stockholm and the Black Sea, the Dardanelles under Captain Dalton, the best bloody man that ever scuttled a ship. I seen Russia. Gospodi pomilyou. That's how the Russians prays. You seen queer sights, don't be talking, put in a jarvey.
He was not less than six feet three inches in height, and, with two such customers as these, Tom had no hope except in successful strategy. He had no doubt they had obtained information of him from the persons in the vehicles, and had come to secure him. He fully expected to be marched off to the rebel regiment, which could not be far off. "Who is he, Sid?" asked Jarvey, when he reached the spot.
The other day, when the King and Queen were at Punchestown, a Britisher chartered a car at Naas to drive out to the course, and on the way remonstrated with the carman on the starved condition of his horse, whose ribs would have served for an anatomical study. 'Well, your honour, the jarvey explained, 'it's an unlucky horse. 'How unlucky? asked the Englishman.
Bloody wars, says I, I'll be in for the last gospel. But as luck would have it the jarvey got the nag's head round the other way and off with him. Hold on, citizen, says Joe. Stop! Begob he drew his hand and made a swipe and let fly. Mercy of God the sun was in his eyes or he'd have left him for dead. Gob, he near sent it into the county Longford.
