The wounded deer shunned the lively herd. The ladies, as they sat in the drawing-room, received visits of a less flattering character than usual. Reginald kept popping in, inquiring, "Where was Mr. Dodd?" and would not believe they had not hid him somewhere. He was followed by Kenealy, who came in and put them but one question, "Where is Dawd?" "We don't know," said Mrs.
Then the whole table opened on him, and appealed to his manly feeling, his sense of hospitality, his humanity to gratify their curiosity. Kenealy stretched himself out from the waist downward, and delivered himself thus, with a double infusion of his drawl: "See yah all dem d first." At noon on the same day, by the interference of Mrs.
Hardie announced his return, and Captain Kenealy accepted an invitation that had been sent to him two days before. But this was not all. Mrs. Bazalgette, with something between a laugh and a crow, handed Lucy a letter from Mr.
Kenealy asked him what was the matter? "Barometer going down; moon at the full; and Jonah aboard," was the reply, uttered doggedly. Kenealy assured him it was a beautiful evening, precursor of a fine day. "See how red the sunset is. 'Evening red and morning grey Are the sure signs of a fine day." Dodd looked, and shook his head.
THE new guest's manner of presenting himself with his stick over his shoulder, and his carpet-bag on his back, subjected him to a battery of stares from Kenealy, Talboys, Fountain, and abashed him sore. This lasted but a moment. He had one friend in the group who was too true to her flirtations while they endured, and too strong-willed, to let her flirtee be discouraged by mortal. "Why, it is Mr.
In answer to this defiance, the House rose en masse and its members solemnly filed away, leaving Kenealy to address the Speaker, the clerks at the table and a handful of reporters in the gallery. He struggled on for awhile, but by and by a member returned and drew the attention of the Speaker to the very obvious fact that there were not forty members present.
She then laid her head upon her bed and moaned, for she was stricken to the heart. Then she rose and wrote a hasty note, and, putting it in her bosom, came downstairs and looked for Captain Kenealy. He proved to be in the billiard-room, playing the spotted ball against the plain one. "Oh, Captain Kenealy, I am come to try your friendship; you said I might command you." "Yaas!"
"Don't deceive us: it is an order for you to join the horrid army." Kenealy. "No, it is from my tailaa. He waunts to be paed." Lucy. "Pay the creature, and nevermore employ him." Kenealy. "Can't. Haven't got the money. Uncle won't daie. The begaa knows I can't pay him, that is the reason why he duns." Lucy. "He knows it? then what business has he to annoy you thus? Take my advice. Return no reply.
This the men viewing from a little distance envied the gallant captain, and they might just as well have been jealous of a hair-dresser's dummy. One eventful afternoon, Mrs. Bazalgette and Miss Fountain walked out, taking the gallant captain between them as escort. Reginald hovered on the rear. Kenealy was charmingly equipped, and lent the party a luster.
Not only did she take these blows like a coward, but all signs of life disappeared on her, except two men at the wheel and the captain on the main gangway. Dodd had ordered the crew out of the rigging, armed them with cutlasses, and laid them flat on the forecastle. He also compelled Kenealy and Fullalove to come down out of harm's way, no wiser on the smooth bore question than they went up.
