I folloyed him on my tippy-toes, an' when he came opposite the door of the room where the masther and misthress sleep, the door opened, an' the mistress wid a candle in her hand met him full but in the teeth. I was above upon the stairs at the time, but from the way an' the place she stood in, the light didn't rache me, so that I could see them widout bein' seen myself.
"Send her at once!" shrieked the unfortunate woman; and the noise of frying presently ceasing, a hot woman made her appearance, wiping her brows with her apron, and asking, with an accent decidedly Hibernian, what the misthress wanted. "Lead me up to my dressing-room, Edwards: I really am not fit to be seen in this dishabille by Mr. Fitz-Boodle."
"Let thim dundther," Mary said. He put his hand behind his ear and asked eagerly: "What is 't?" "Somebody's dundtherin'." "Let thim go t' h ," he said angrily. "Th' tuk 'im frum Anna last time, th' won't take 'im frum me an' you, Mary." Another and louder knock. "It's Misthress Healy," came a voice. Again his hand was behind his ear. The name was repeated to him.
"Norton," said Dandy, whose heart was going at full speed, with a hope that he had at length got into the right track, "it's a purty name in troth. Arra, Nancy, do you know was your misthress ever in France?" "Ay, was she," replied Nancy. "Many a year maid to let me see what's this the name is? Ay! Cullamore. Maid to the wife of Lord Cullamore.
We immediately, as may be supposed, made inquiries about all at home. "As to health, the masther, and misthress, and the childher, are all mighty well," replied Tim; "and Misthress Nora is as bright and blooming as a May morning in the `old country, and as tall almost as you, Masther Barry not a young lady in the land to equal her.
"Sir," said Tom, going to the bottom of the hall door-steps, "will you have the goodness to walk in; the masther and misthress are in the parlor; for who could sleep on such a night as this?" On entering he was received with the warmest and most cordial hospitality. "Sir," said Mr.
After that, and a more undisguised look my way, the old man talked about me, still calling me the "lil misthress" and saying they were putting a power of gold on my fingers, but he would be burning candles to the miracles of God to see the colour of it in my cheeks too.
With great pride the old woman conducted me over the premises, and showed me the furniture "the masther" had bought; especially recommending to my notice a china tea-service, which she considered the most wonderful acquisition of the whole. "Och! who would have thought, a year ago, misthress dear, that we should be living in a mansion like this, and ating off raal chaney?
"Oh, in course he may," said Barney; "oh musha, musha, wirrasthrue, how'd I ever be looking the misthress and the young ladies in the face, av I was taking him home dead and buried as he's likely to be, av he don't hit that owld masther of yours in the very first go off;" and then the man's air of triumph at the idea of his master's shooting Jonas Brown, turned to despondency as the thought struck him that the Counsellor might be shot himself.
"Dash some cold water over her face, it always recovers her!" says the Baroness. "You stay with her, Brett. How much is your suit gentlemen?" Mr. Costigan says, "The deem we have against her leedyship for one hundred and thirty-two pounds, in which she is indebted to Misthress Eliza Pincott" Meanwhile, where is the Reverend Mr. Sampson?
