Being in a desperate hurry, I hired a jaunting-car to take me to my father's house. 'Is it the O'Brien of Ballyhinch that you mane? inquired the spalpeen who drove the horse. 'Sure it is, replied I; 'and how is he, and all the noble family of the O'Briens?"
The Bodagh was out, but Una and her mother were sitting in the parlor when the noise of a jaunting-car was heard driving up to the door; Una involuntarily looked out of the window, and seeing two she started up, and putting her hands together, hysterically exclaimed thrice, "Mother, mother, mother, assist me, assist me he's here!"
The Squire was hard of hearing, and under any circumstances an inside jaunting-car is a bad place for conversation, as your teeth are nearly shaken out of your head by every movement which the horse makes. Alice therefore said nothing, but smiled faintly, in reply to her grandfather.
'My Lady Rackrent! says Sir Condy, in a surprise; 'why it's but two days since we parted, as you very well know, Thady, in her full health and spirits, and she, and her maid along with her, going to Mount Juliet's Town on her jaunting-car. 'She'll never ride no more on her jaunting-car, said Judy, 'for it has been the death of her, sure enough. And is she dead then? says his honour.
'What rot! cried Reginald. 'I should be rather sorry for myself if I were not able to manage Robin. 'This is a new development in you, who are generally the laziest of living creatures, said Bessie to Brian, and before he could reply, Robin was bounding cheerily through the village, making very little account of the jaunting-car and its occupants.
Martin, and travelled in char-a-bancs, with which you and Sophy made me long ago acquainted cousin-german to an Irish jaunting-car. We were well drenched by the rain; and as we had imprudently lined our great straw hats with green, we arrived at St. Gervais with chins and shoulders dyed green. The hotel at St. Gervais is the most singular-looking house I ever saw.
'I landed in Liverpool two days ago, he said, when I had wished him the time of day; 'then I came to the city of Dublin this morning, and took the train to Bray, where you have the blue salt water on your left, and the beautiful valleys, with trees in them, on your right. From that I drove to this place on a jaunting-car to see some brothers and cousins I have living below.
Michael and Mr McQueen were on the other side with Larry. The small bags and bundles were put in the well of the jaunting-car. "Get up!" cried Dennis, and off they started. Mrs McQueen looked back at the old house, and cried into her new shawl. Grannie was crying, too. But Michael said, "Wait until you see your new home, and sure, you'll be crying to think you weren't in it before!"
She's going in the jaunting-car, said Reginald, talking of the lady as if she were a horse. 'We're going to take her over to the Abbey. The Abbey was the ancestral home of the Wendovers, now in possession of Brian Wendover, only son of the Colonel's eldest brother, and head of the house. 'Well, don't upset her oftener than you can help, replied the father.
O'Brien, on being informed of this, procured a jaunting-car, on which they both sat, and at an easy pace reached the Colonel's residence. The curate was shown into an ante-room, and Jemmy sat in the hall: the Colonel joined the former in a few minutes.
