"'Nothing at all, said he 'but will you get up airly in the morning, plase God, and tell Vesey Johnston that I want to see him; and that I have a great dale to say to him? " To be sure I will, Micky; but, Lord guard us, what ails you, avourneen, you look so frightened? "'Nothing at all, at all, mother; but will you go where I say airly to-morrow, for me?
'You'd holler fur your milk bottle before he goes a eighth with you. "'Aw, you go to hell! says Micky. "I borrows a curb 'n' chain from Eddy Murphy he's been usin' it on ole Dandelion. It's fierce you can bust a hoss's jaw with it. I puts it on Hamilton next work-out. "'I guess that'll hold little Hammy, I says, when Snowball's up. But it don't.
Was old Mo an invalid, who never went out? "No fear!" said Michael. "He's all to rights, only a bit oldish, like. He spends the afternoons round at The Sun, and then goes home to supper." The interview ended with a present of half-a-bull to Micky from the convict, which the boy seemed to stickle at accepting.
At a parade of a company of newly-called-up men the drill instructor's face turned scarlet with rage as he slated a new recruit for his awkwardness. "Now, Rafferty," he roared, "you'll spoil the line with those feet. Draw them back at once, man, and get them in line." Rafferty's dignity was hurt. "Plaze, sargint," he said, "they're not mine; they're Micky Doolan's in the rear rank!"
"Who stole yer noo rope!" cried the fellow, giving me another shake; "what d'yer mean?" "He took our rope off the cart in Covent Garden this morning," I cried, feeling angry now. "Why, he ain't been out o' the court this morning," said the fellow sharply; "have yer, Micky?" "No, father," said the boy. "Jest up, ain't he, missus?" continued my captor, turning to the heavy-eyed woman.
'Oh, you Micky! I hollers. 'Go to it, you white boy! "I hate to tell you how far that kid works the hoss. He keeps handin' him the bat every other jump. It gets so I can run as fast as they're movin' 'n' Hamilton's just prayin' fur help. I'm afraid he'll jim the colt fur good, so I yells at Micky to cut it out, when he comes by. "'Come down off of that, you squirt! I says.
Oh, God is good to you! to put you in mind of your duty, giving you such bitther cowlds that you are coughing and sneezin' every Sunday to that degree that you can't hear the blessed mass for a comfort and a benefit to you; and so you'll go on sneezin' until you put a good thatch on the place, and prevent the appearance of the evidence from Heaven against you every Sunday, which is condemning you before your faces, and behind your backs too, for don't I see this minit a strame o' wather that might turn a mill running down Micky Mackavoy's back, between the collar of his coat and his shirt?"
"Throops," said Pat, gloatingly, almost too absorbed t o glance off his work; "it's Ballyclavvy, the way it did be in the school readin'-book at Duffclane. Just step round and look at it from where I am, Micky, but don't be clumpin' your fut on the French cavalary."
"And sometimes exchange a poor cigar for a good one?" continued his captor. "It was a mistake," said Micky. "What did you run for, then?" "What you going to do about it, mister?" asked one boy, curiously. "So it was a mistake, was it?" said Gilbert. "Yes, sir," said Micky, glibly. "Take care you don't make the mistake again, then. Now you may black my boots."
"They get off to a nice start. When they hit the stretch I throws my hat away. Hamilton's in front two lengths. A eighth from home I see there's somethin' wrong with Micky. He's got his bat 'n' lines in his left mitt. His right hook is kind-a floppin' at his side, but Hamilton's runnin' true 'n' strong. The colt looks awful good to the sixteenth 'n' then his gait goes clear to the bad.
