Conscious that the charges in his account were exorbitant, and that they would not be allowed if examined by a court of justice; that it was a debt which only ignorance and extravagance could have in the first instance incurred, swelled afterwards to an amazing amount by interest, and interest upon interest; Mordicai was impatient to obtain payment, whilst Sir John yet lived, or at least to obtain legal security for the whole sum from the heir.
Mordicai was right in that caution, for that, to the best of his comprehension, Sir Terence O'Fay, and his principal too, were over head and ears in debt.
'Stop, sir, cried Lord Colambre in a voice which made Mordicai, and everybody 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.
He was answered that Mr. Mordicai was not at home. His lordship had never seen Mr. Mordicai; but just then he saw, walking across the yard, a man who looked something like a Bond-street coxcomb, but not the least like a gentleman, who called, in the tone of a master, for "Mr. Mordicai's barouche!"

"Pass on, sir," repeated Lord Colambre, with an air of ineffable contempt: "I am a gentleman you have nothing to fear!" Mordicai ran down stairs; Lord Colambre, before he went back into the room, waited to see him and his bailiff out of the house. When Mordicai was fairly at the bottom of the stairs, he turned, and, white with rage, looked up at Lord Colambre.
Mordicai nothing had since been heard of it, or from him and Lord Colambre had undertaken to pay him and it a visit, and to make all proper inquiries. Accordingly, he went to the coachmaker's, and, obtaining no satisfaction from the underlings, desired to see the head of the house. He was answered, that Mr. Mordicai was not at home.

"Ah! that's the devil, that Mordicai," said Lord Clonbrony; "that's the only man on earth I dread." "Why, he is only a coachmaker, is not he?" said Lady Clonbrony: "I can't think how you can talk, my lord, of dreading such a low man.
Berryl must just run over his name again in your presence, my lord, with a dry pen, said Mordicai, putting the pen into Mr. Berryl's hand. 'No, sir, said Lord Colambre, 'my friend shall never sign it. 'As you please, my lord the bond or the body, before I quit this house, said Mordicai.
