I think we ought to give the crathur half of it, an' him so sick: he'll be wantin' it worse nor ourselves." "Oh, be Gorra, he's fairly entitled to that. I vote him fifteen pince." "Surely!" they exclaimed unanimously. "Tundher-an'-turf! wasn't he the manes of gettin' it for us?" "Jemmy, a bouchal," said Connor, across the ditch to M'Evoy, "are you sleepin'?"
That act, alone, will go far to redeem your character from the odium which the conduct of your agent was calculated to throw upon it." "There is not probably in Ireland a landlord so popular as I am this moment at least among my tenants on that property. Restoring M'Evoy, however, is but a small part of what I have done. Carson's pranks were incredible. He was a rack-renter of the first water.
I told you I did not exactly remember the circumstances; I said I thought so; but I may be wrong, for, indeed, my memory of facts is not good. M'Evoy, however, is a very honest man, and I have no doubt will state everything as it happened, fairly and without malice." "An honest 'rascal, I suppose you mean, Mr. Carson," said the Colonel, bitterly. "Proceed, M'Evoy."
M'Evoy from Arundel to request that he would make an appointment with you on the subject of the Eccl. My object, however, may be as well, perhaps better, attained if you will read the memorandum which I enclose, and in which I have endeavoured to state the case against the Act, in the manner in which it must be stated to the Commons' committee, should the proposed inquiry take place.
On the Sunday following, Dominick M'Evoy and his son Jemmy attended mass, whilst the other members of the family, with that sense of honest pride which is more strongly inherent in Irish character than is generally supposed, remained at home, from a reluctance to witness what they could not but consider a degradation.
I had some notion of goin' to look for him; but he tould us he would never write, or let us hear from him, till he'd be either one thing or other." "I can tell you, for your satisfaction, that your son is well, M'Evoy. Believe me, he is well I know it." "Well! Before God, does your honor spake truth? Well!
In this case I shall draw up the informations myself, although Gregg usually does that." Jemmy, assisted by the curate, entered the room, and the humane Colonel desired him, as he appeared ill, to sit down. "What is your name?" asked the Colonel. "James M'Evoy," he replied. "I'm the son, sir, of a man who was once a tenant of yours." "Ay! and pray how did he cease to be a tenant of mine?"
You may remember I told you so this morning." "I remember it," replied the Colonel; "this is 'the rascal' you spoke of is he not? M'Evoy," the Colonel proceeded, "you will reply to my questions with strict truth. You will state nothing but what has occurred between you and my agent; you must not even turn a circumstance in your own favor, nor against Mr.
"Sir," said M'Evoy, "you are a Protestant; but, as I hope to enther glory, I an' my wife an' childhre will pray that your bed may be made in heaven, this night; and that your honor may be led to see the truth an' the right coorse."
M'Evoy stated the circumstances precisely as the reader is already acquainted with them, after which the Colonel turned round to his agent and inquired what he had to say in reply. "You cannot expect, Colonel B ," he replied, "that with such a multiplicity of business on my hands, I could remember, after a lapse of ten years, the precise state of this particular case.
