Mordicai, coming close beside his foreman, and speaking very low, but with a voice trembling with anger, for he was piqued by his foreman's doubts of his capacity to cope with Sir Terence O'Fay; "I'll tell you what, Smithfield, I'll be cursed if I don't get every inch of them into my power you know how."
Mordicai, recovering, but not clearly recovering, his intellects. 'I beg pardon, but I did not know you WAS Lord Colambre. I thought you told me you was the friend of Mr. Berryl. 'I do not see the incompatibility of the assertion, sir, replied Lord Colambre, taking from the bewildered foreman's unresisting hand the account, which he had been so long FURNISHING.
To all that indignation could by word or look urge against Mordicai, he replied 'Maybe so, sir; the law is open to your friend the law is open to all men who can pay for it.
This was 597 B.C., at which time king Jehoiakim and 10.000 of the people were carried into captivity. Among these were Ezekiel and one of the ancestors of Mordicai, the cousin of Esther, 2 K. 24:10-16; Eze. 1:1-2; Est. 2:5-6. The third invasion and captivity.
Lord Colambre was so much struck with this strange physiognomy, that he actually forgot much he had to say of springs and wheels. But it was no matter. Whatever he had said, it would have come to the same thing; and Mordicai would have answered as he now did
"Sir, the arrest you have made is as illegal as it is inhuman." "Illegal, my lord!" said Mordicai, startled. "Illegal, sir. I came into this house at the moment when your bailiff asked and was refused admittance. Afterwards, in the confusion of the family above stairs, he forced open the house-door with an iron bar I saw him I am ready to give evidence of the fact. Now proceed at your peril."
"Stop, sir," cried Lord Colambre, in a voice which made Mordicai and every body present start; "I am his son " "The devil!" said Mordicai. "God bless every bone in his body, then, he's an Irishman!" cried Paddy; "and there was the rason my heart warmed to him from the first minute he come into the yard, though I did not know it till now." "What, sir! are you my Lord Colambre?" said Mr.
"Give me leave, my lord," said Mordicai "I beg your pardon, my lord; perhaps we can compromise that business for your friend Mr. Berryl; since he is your lordship's friend, perhaps we can contrive to compromise and split the difference."
'Well, now, that's very extraordinary, in the style in which she has been brought up; yet books and all that are so fashionable now, that it's very natural, said Lady Clonbrony. About this time, Mr. Berryl, Lord Colambre's Cambridge friend, for whom his lordship had fought the battle of the curricle with Mordicai, came to town.
Oh, I beg your lordship's pardon I thought I was talking to my lord; but, in other words, as you are her son, I'm persuaded her ladyship, your mother, will prove herself a reasonable woman when she sees she can't help it. So, my Lord Clonbrony, cheer up; a great deal may be done by the fear of Mordicai, and an execution, especially now the prior creditor.
