We next ascended the hills which lay between us and Napper Valley, and, after crossing them, made for the house of an American settler, a friend of Bradley's, who provided us with the best accommodation his house would furnish for the night. We turned in early, but the legions of fleas which were our bedfellows exerted themselves to such a degree that for hours sleep was out of the question.
The Senate delivered up Napper Tandy; he was carried to Ireland, and condemned to death, but owed the suspension of his execution to the interference of France. He remained two years in prison, when M. Otto, who negotiated with Lord Hawkesbury the preliminaries of peace, obtained the release of Napper Tandy, who was sent back to France.
'E never puts 'is napper up Above the parapet. We been in France fer seven months An' 'aven't seen 'im yet!" So sang Tommy, the incorrigible parodist, during the long summer days and nights of 1915, when he was impatiently waiting for something to turn up. For three months and more we were face to face with an enemy whom we rarely saw. It was a weird experience.
The French Government interfered, and preserved, if not, his liberty, at least his life. Napper Tandy was also an Irishman. To escape the search made after him, on account of the sentiments of independence which had induced him to engage in the contest for the liberty of his country, he got on board a French brig, intending to land at Hamburg and pass into Sweden.
A week later Captain Will Hallam said to him: "So you've been quarreling with Napper Tandy?" "Yes," answered Duncan. "He offered to bribe me to make a false report in the railroad extension matter." "Why didn't you tell me about it?" "Oh, I didn't want to bother you with a whining. I rejected the bribe, of course, and told him what I thought of him, and that seemed to me enough."
"It doesn't pay to call him names. We must think out a way to meet this thing." "I'll horsewhip him on the street!" exclaimed Duncan. "No, don't! That would only advertise the matter and do no good. A man of your physique has no occasion for fear in horsewhipping a man like Napper Tandy, and can show no courage by doing it.
"For the intent and purpose of the law, Hath full relation to the penalty." You enter "Napper Tandy" in the "Clerk's Office of the Southern District of New York." The next number of Blackwood comes out with your first chapter, which Reprint unguardedly produces in his fac simile. Don't you see, my dear fellow, that if you ever hooked a gudgeon, you have as certainly caught the republisher?

After seeing that it was rightly set down, she signed "Mavis Kenrick" at the foot of the document. "Vincent!" cried Mr Napper, as Mavis handed it back. "Yessur," answered the tiny office-boy smartly, as he made the most of his height in the doorway. "I am going out on important business." "Yessur." "I shan't be back for the best part of an hour." "Yessur."
You seize ten thousand copies in his warehouse, just as they are about to be distributed over the land. "The law allows it, and the court awards." Mr Blackwood will doubtless take care that your work shall not be completed too fast: and as long as the interminable "Napper Tandy" continues, the press of the fac-simile must stand still.
