Valentine M'Clutchy! for so long as Lord Cumber has him for an agent, he will never want plenty of ruined villages! My companion muttered many things to himself, but said nothing intelligible, until he came to one of the ruins pretty near the centre: "'Ay, said he, 'here is the place they said he died here before the door and in there is where he lay during his long sickness.
"With respect to Mr. M'Clutchy, surely your lordship must remember that by your own letter he was appointed under agent more than three years ago. "If, after the many remonstrances I have had occasion to make against his general conduct to the tenants, you consider him a useful man upon your property, you will, in that case, have to abide the consequences of your confidence in him.
Our readers cannot forget the warm language which passed between the man Sharpe and our exquisite friend, Philip M'Clutchy, on their way from Deaker's.
When Darby entered, and delivered the letter, M'Slime on receiving it exclaimed, "Ah, from my excellent friend, M'Clutchy. Sit down, Darby, sit down, and whilst I am casting my eye over this note, do now, in order that we may make the most of our opportunities, do, I say, Darby, just read a chapter in this " handing him over the Bible as he spoke. In the meantime he read as follows:
Hartley only that I don't think you stand the best chance in the world of being returned for Castle Cumber, sir that is all." "Hartley," asked another, with a loud laugh, "is it true that your cousin, on bringing a message to young Phil M'Clutchy, pulled his nose, and kicked him a posteriore round the room?"
"Now, M'Clutchy," said M'Loughlin, "I could overlook all your dishonesty and treacherous misrepresentation of me to Lord Cumber your attempt to oust us out of our farms, and to put your son and M'Slime in our places your suppressing the fact, besides that we offered a thousand pounds apiece for a renewal your whispering away our commercial reputation, and thereby bringing us in the end to ruin all that, I say, I could overlook and forgive; but for your foul and cowardly attempt to destroy the fair fame of our spotless child for that, sir, in which, thank heaven, you failed, I now say, I trust, with honest pride, and tell you face to face if you had only the manliness to look in mine that I feel this to be the hour of my triumph but not of my vengeance, for I trust I am a Christian man."
But you must feel it a distressing thing to be made, in the discharge of that duty, the unwilling instrument of oppression on the unfortunate." "It is quite true," said the sheriff, "and the case you speak of too frequently happens, as I have reason to know." "Pray, what are those carts for, Mr. M'Clutchy?" asked M'Loughlin.
"Ah, my dear friend, M'Clutchy," said Solomon, "you are a treasure in your way when you do a kind act it is always in secret, ever mindful of our spiritual obligations, my friend." "Why," said Val, "a man is not always to trumpet forth any little act of kindness he may choose to render to a poor simple fellow like O'Hare.
Solomon rose, and with all the calmness of manner which he could assume, laid the money down before M'Clutchy. "Try," said he, "if that is right." "Show here," said Sam, "ail reckon em;" and having done so, he put one particular note in his pocket "Never you mind," he added, addressing himself to Val, "I'll give you another note for this;" and he winked significantly as he spoke.
It is that," said Solomon; "oh, it is that precious thing, indeed." As he spoke the words there was a slight upraising of the eyes, together with a side glance at M'Clutchy, which, though barely-perceptible, contained as much sanctified venom as could well be expressed. He had scarcely concluded, when the sheriff, having pulled up his gig, entered.
