'Ain't he a fearsome figure? Looks as if his liver were cayenne pepper. Astrologer, botanist, poisoner, he is said to have been, and I don't wonder. The ancient warlock possessed indeed a most mischancy visage: hard, curious, inhuman eyes he had, thin, sunken cheeks, and a black straggling moustache, the whole surmounted by a great bald dome of brow.
I am not a believer in the ghostly at least to the extent of some of our people; yet I was alarmed, till my reason came to me and the badinage of the professors at college, who had twitted me on my fears of the mischancy. But M'Iver clutched me by the shoulder in a frenzy of terror. I could hear his teeth chittering as if he had come out of the sea. "Name of God!" he cried, "what was yon?"
A few seconds only elapsed when there came round the corner a strange mischancy creature, with loose hide and hanging horns, long tail and clattering hoofs. Scrambling very swiftly forward it shook its shaggy head in an angry roar, and edged its horns sharply against the Land Sergeant's nearest man. 'Come awa, Sergeant; come awa, cried the fellow in terror. ''Tis the Bargeist, the Bargeist!
Niver a cross word we had until last week I got laid up wid this mischancy could and the pain in me chest, so sorra a fut could I go to me work; and I well knew the whole thing 'ud come out, if he went when I didn't. Bedad I dhramed it all the night asleep and awake, till I was fairly moidhered in me head." "Tub-be sure," said old O'Beirne, "that's the worst of lettin' on.
Now I learned better from my misadventures upon Vraidex, and from my talking with that insane Horvendile about the things which have been and some things which are to be." Math, who was a wise woman, said queerly, "I perceive that you are letting your hair grow." Manuel said, "Yes." "Boy, fast and loose is a mischancy game to play."
More than once in fierce or drunken escapades they came into the place in their mogans at night, quiet as ghosts, mischievous as the winds, and set fire to wooden booths, or shot in wantonness at any mischancy unkilted citizen late returning from the change-house.
For I do not know what I must anticipate in the future, and I wish that I had never meddled in this mischancy business of creating things I cannot manage." Queen Freydis moved in shimmering splendor toward the fireplace. She paused there, considerately looking down at the small contention of flames.
"I felt like a father for the lad myself," said Cæsar, "he was always my white-headed boy, and I stuck to him with life. He desarved it, too. Maybe his birth was a bit mischancy, but what's the ould saying, 'Don't tell me what I was, tell me what I am. And Pete was that civil with the tongue a civiller young man never was." Black Tom tsht and spat.
