I shall dine at the ambassador's tomorrow, and there will be a large party." During the day invitations for evening parties were brought in from the Prince Gallitzin and Princess Woronzoff. "The plot thickens fast, as the saying is," observed McShane; "you'll be certain to meet your fair lady at some of these places."
After the resolution that Major McShane came to, it is not to be surprised that he made, during the journey home, every inquiry of Joey relative to his former life.
And now, McShane, there are two words which the consul has told me to make use of: one is Scoro, and when you say that, it means `Go fast, and you hold up a small bit of money at the same time." "Scoro! well, that's a word I sha'n't forget." "But, then, there's another, which is Scorae." "And what may be the English of that?"
At Lynchburg, where I encountered a number of old friends, songs still sweeter saluted me from the lips of my dear companions, Major Gray and Captain Woodie. How we laughed and sang, on that winter night, at Lynchburg! Do you chant your sweet "Nora McShane" still, Gray? And you, Woodie, do you sing in your beautiful and touching tenor to-day, "The heart bowed down by deep despair.
I'll be bound the young gentleman has never run away with an Irishman since that: however, I never heard any more about him, or his lovely sister." "Now, then, for the wind up, McShane."
He concluded by observing to McShane, that, as he was so intimate with the major, it would be very easy for him to ascertain the fact, and offered him 50 pounds, as his share of the reward, if he would assist him in the boy's capture. It was lucky for Furness that McShane was surrounded by others, or in all probability there would have been another murder committed.
Their full intentions towards him, however, were not communicated to our hero; he was told that he was to go to school, and he willingly submitted: it was not, however, for three months that McShane would part with him: a difficulty was raised against every establishment that was named. During this time little Joey was very idle, for there was nothing for him to do.
The next day, about the same time, McShane came to see his friend, and found O'Donahue dressed, and ready to go out with him. "Now, O'Donahue, you mustn't be in such a hurry to see Mrs McShane, for I have something to tell you which will make her look more pretty in your eyes than she otherwise might have done upon first introduction.
"But, however," continued Mr Trevor, "as I was about to say, I was observing to this young woman how strange it was, that the first time I was legally employed for the name of Rushbrook, it should be a case which, in the opinion of the world, should produce the highest gratification, and that in the second in one which has ended in misery." "How do you mean?" inquired McShane.
McShane took upon himself to explain that mystery, having, as we have before observed, already been sufficiently clear-sighted to fathom it; and referred to O'Donahue to corroborate his opinion of the elder Rushbrook's character. "And this father of his is totally lost sight of; you say?" observed Mr Trevor. "Altogether: I have never been able to trace him," replied McShane.
