"Yes, and I don't blame Mrs Stumfold for wishing to get a husband for her friend, but it is hard upon me." "Really, Mr Maguire, I think that perhaps you couldn't do better." "Better than what?" "Better than take Miss Floss. As you say, some people like red hair. And she is very suitable, certainly. And, Mr Maguire, I really shouldn't like to interfere; I shouldn't indeed."
If Mr Maguire had any claim upon your hand, should you not have told me?" "He had no claim; but no doubt it was right that I should tell you. I was bound by my duty to tell you everything that had occurred." "Of course you were and yet you did not do it." "But I was not so bound before what you said to me in the shrubbery last night? Remember, John, it was but last night.
"I have a new idea for to-day," said Mr. Pertell one morning, as the day's work was about to start. "In one drama I wish to show a little picnic scene, with two girls and their mother. You will be the mother, Mrs. Maguire, and with Ruth and Alice will go off up a side stream in a boat. Russ will go along, of course, to manage the camera, and I think I'll send Paul to help row the boat.
"How do you figure that?" asked another. "In these panic times, the nomination of such a man as Maguire, with his truckling to the lowest passions and his socialistic speeches, will frighten conservative men enough to make them break party lines, and unite on the most certain candidate. That will be ours." "But why risk it, when, with Maguire, it's certain?"
And there he stood, with his arms open, as though he expected Miss Mackenzie to rush into them. He was certainly a man of very great courage. "Mr Maguire!" said she, and she stood still near the door. Then she looked at her aunt, and saw that Lady Ball's eyes were keenly fixed upon her.
Let any man who feels himself reasoning as Art Maguire did, rest assured that there is an evil principle within him, which, unless he strangle it by prompt firmness, and a strong conviction of moral duty, will ultimately be his destruction. There was once a lake, surrounded by very beautiful scenery, to which its waters gave a fine and picturesque effect.
"What!" cried Maguire, raising a depressed head suddenly. "You won't have a drink in my house? Take care, young man. That's not being a good boy!" "But I've been dining out," I expostulated, "and had my whack. I really have." Barney Maguire smote the table with terrific "Say, sonny, I like you a lot," said he. "But I shan't like you any if you're not a good boy!"
Now, Sir John Ball never saw any one on business, or, indeed, not on business; and, after a while, word was brought out to Mr Maguire that he could see Lady Ball, but that Sir John was not well enough to receive any visitors. Lady Ball, Mr Maguire thought, would suit him better than Sir John.
And amongst the women and children and loafers that were crowding around was Crone's housekeeper, a great, heavy, rough-haired Irishwoman called Nance Maguire, and she was waving her big arms and shaking her fists at a couple of policemen, whom she was adjuring to bring out the murderer, so that she might do justice on him then and there all this being mingled with encomiums on the victim.
Maguire too, I observe, takes post on that north or Kesselsdorf side; contiguous for the Head General. Wehla and Brentano post themselves on the south or up-stream side; it is they that hand in the siege-guns: batteries are already everywhere marked out, 13 cannon-batteries and 5 howitzer.
