They were going off to New York or Harrisburg or Washington on jaunting parties. They were seen in happy converse at road-houses or country hotels in season with their wives or their women favorites, and he was not, as yet, of this happy throng. Naturally now that he was promised something, he was interested and compliant. What might he not get?
"Most of the time you'll be jaunting around, seeing things, and having fun generally. Oh! don't I wish I was going with you." "Alexia Rhys!" cried Polly in astonishment, and casting her needle from her, she deserted the muslin cloud summarily. "Only peg away when I have the mind?" she repeated indignantly. "Well, I shall have the mind most of the time, I can tell you.
'I only wish 'twas a jaunting car! cried Ulick. 'And what's the boy's name to be? Not Belraven, I conclude, like my unfortunate grandson Maurice, I hope. 'No; the precedent of his namesake would be too dangerous. I believe he is to be Edmund Ulick. Don't take it as too personal, Ulick, for it was the name of our mutual connexion.
The roads leading to the scene of controversy were thronged with people of all classes. Private jaunting cars, gigs, and carriages of every description, rolled rapidly along.
Old McB. And too airly now, and there's no good time, for it's all folly. I'll ax you, will love set the potatoes? will love make the rent? or will love give you a jaunting car? as to my knowledge, another of your bachelors would. Honor. Oh, don't name him, father.

Hum, and has the Devil serv'd me thus? but no matter, I must be gadding, like an old Coxcomb, to Cadiz, and then, jaunting to Sea, with a Pox, to take pains to be a Cuckold, to bring my Wife into a strange Land, amongst Unbelievers, with a vengeance, as if we had not honest Christian Cuckold-makers enough at home; Sot that I was, not to consider how many Merchants have been undone by trusting their Commodities out at Sea; why, what a damn'd ransom will the Rogues exact from me, and more for my Wife, because she's handsome; and then, 'tis ten to one, I have her turned upon my hands the worse for wearing; oh, damn'd Infidels! no, 'tis resolv'd, I'll live a Slave here, rather than enrich them.
It is counted the most beautiful of all the ancient castles which are still inhabited. All I can say is, it looked well from the lake. Lough Corrib is calculated to cover 44,000 acres, and is well supplied with fish. Went through Galway to the station as fast as a jaunting car could take me, and took the train for Dublin.
And then while I was waiting for the train it came over me that your brother was right, and that it was a darned risky thing for you to go jaunting about alone in Parnassus.
