I'm bringing something straight in my mouth and something crooked in my mit, and neither one of 'em will ye have till free passage is made to the platform." The crowd's curiosity served effectively to clear that passage. Lanigan's captive went along, sullenly unresisting.
"Ay, ay, Lanigan's a kind-hearted old fool, and that's just like him; but, in the meantime, let me see this chap." "There he is, your honor, trimming, and taking care of that bed of 'love-lies-bleeding." "Ay, ay; I dare say my daughter set him to that task." "Na, na, sir. The young leddy hasna seen him yet, nor hasna been in the gerden for the last week."
Morrison grasped the man and yanked him upright and held him in a firm clutch. The mayor was receiving plenty of advice from the crowd by that time. The gist of the counsel followed Lanigan's suggestion about punching off the fellow's face. But the mob was by no means unanimous. Men were daring to voice threats against Morrison.
But the young man did not walk towards the front of the house, but went in the direction of his room, where the ladder stood leaning against the open window. Mounting this, he disappeared within. The eyes of Mr. Tippengray flashed, and his face was lighted by a bright thought. In an instant he was on his feet and running lightly towards Lanigan's room.
Men whom he recognized as Lanigan's Legion members were jumping in on the side-lines as the policemen passed. With arms extended the veterans held back those whom Morrison's commands were not restraining. "That's good team-work, Joe," Stewart informed Lanigan when the latter hurried past to take his place as a helper.
This very afternoon, as I was coming from the poultry-yard, and saw Lanigan's ladder still standing up against the window of his room, I couldn't help thinking that if a burglar got into that room, he might suppose he was in the house; but he'd soon find himself greatly mistaken, and even if he went over the roof to Mr.
"Don't let us wait for the second table," he said; "come and take a walk to Lethbury." It was now Lanigan's turn to smile. "You think you would better not wait for the second table," he said; "very well, then; come on." The lesson on the bench had been deliberately planned by Mrs. Cristie.
For heaven's sake tell us?" "I am," he replied; "leave the room every one of you. I hope your husband is not speechless?" "Sweet Queen of Heaven, not yet, may her name be praised! but near it, your Reverence widin little or no time of it.". Whilst they spoke, he was engaged in putting the stole about his neck, after which he cleared the room, and commenced hearing Lanigan's confession.
It was a flocking together of those uneasy persons who had been informing one another that they wanted to be shown! Mr. Lanigan's unconventional methods in the chair were tolerated because he had displayed much alacrity in putting the mob in the way of securing information from such high authority as the mayor of Marion.
Lanigan's yelp broke in like an explosion. "Hold this Bullshevist, Peter! I want both hands free!" "I wasn't saying anything against our government, Commander Lanigan! Not a word!" wailed the overseas man. "So help me!" "I'm in a soothing frame of mind this night," returned the ex-sergeant. "I have been having some good lessons in soothing from the mayor of Marion, God bless him!
