"Hannibal," he said, "Solomon Mahaffy, who was here last night, told me he saw down at the river landing, a man who had been fished up out of the Elk a man who had been roughly handled." "Were it my Uncle Bob?" cried Hannibal, lifting a swollen face to his. "Dear lad, I don't know," said the judge sympathetically. "Some people on a raft had picked him up out of the river.
The letter, with its striking news, made little or no impression on him just then; it merely furnished the clue he had sought. The judge was off somewhere marketing his prospects. After a time Mahaffy went up-stairs, and, without removing his clothes, threw himself on the bed.
He felt that Mahaffy could fend for himself, but he experienced a moment of genuine concern when he thought of the child. In spite of himself, his thoughts returned to him again and again. But surely some one would shelter and care for him! "Yes and work him like a horse, and probably abuse him into the bargain "
It is a fact that the convulsion of horror at the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish alone prevented an organised campaign for the 'removal' of Irish landlords on a systematic and wholesale scale. By the way, according to his son, it was quite by chance that Professor Mahaffy that illustrious ornament of Trinity College was not also murdered. He had intended to walk over with poor Mr.
"You're the boy I saw at Scratch Hill!" Hannibal gave him a frightened glance, and edged to Mr. Mahaffy's side, but did not answer him. "What's become of Bob Yancy?" Carrington went on. He looked from Mahaffy to the judge; externally neither of these gentlemen was calculated to inspire confidence. Mahaffy, keenly alive to this fact, returned Carrington's glance with a fixed and hostile stare.
Miss Malroy needed a strong, clear brain to guide her past those difficulties his agile fancy assembled in her path. He beamed on his friend with a wide sunny smile. "You mean she needs a lawyer, Price?" insinuated Mahaffy. "That slap at me, Solomon, is unworthy of you. Just name some one, will you, who has shown an interest comparable to mine?
You-all will just go on living with him." "But what about you, Uncle Bob?" cried Hannibal, lifting a wistful little face to Yancy's. "Oh, me? well, you-all will go right on living with me." "And what will come of Mr. Mahaffy?" "I reckon you-all will go right on living with him, too." "Uncle Bob, you mean you reckon we are all going to live in one house?"
At the close of an interesting characterization of AEschylus and his works much too long for a full quotation here PROFESSOR MAHAFFY observes as follows: "We always feel that AEschylus thought more than he expressed, that his desperate compounds are never affected or unnecessary.
In spite of herself, Betty was experiencing a certain revulsion of feeling where the judge and Mahaffy were concerned. They were doubtless bad enough, but they could have been worse. "No, ma'am; he done soaked the label off one of Mr. Pegloe's whisky bottles and pasted it on the wall just as high as my chin, so's I can see it good, and he's learning me that-a-ways!
Mahaffy got hurt in a duel, grandfather?" said Hannibal. "He was as inexperienced as a child in the use of firearms, and he had to deal with scoundrels who had neither mercy nor generous feeling but his courage was magnificent." Presently Hannibal was deep in his account of those adventures he had shared with Miss Betty.
