A. hundred a year I wish to be liberal Mr. Carver will see to that he knows all my affairs, as I suppose he was telling you. Old McB. He was I'm satisfied, and I'm at a word myself always. You heard me name my girl's portion, sir? O'Bla. I can't say I didn't mind 'twas no object to me in life. O'Bla.
O'Bla. Mighty long swallowing you are. Here don't be two minutes, till you're at Catty Rooney's, and let me see how cliverly you'll execute that confidential embassy I trusted you with. Touch Catty up about her ould ancient family, and all the Kings of Ireland she comes from. Blarney her cliverly, and work her to a foam against the McBrides. Pat. Never fear, your honour.
Not he he's no conjuror: many's the dozen tricks I played him afore now. Pat. But, counshillor, there's the big veshel in the little passage I got a hint from a friend, that the shuper got information of the spirits in that from some villain. O'Bla. And do you think I don't know a trick for that, too? Pat.
And there's another thing I say of myself. O'Bla. Mr. Carv. I don't know how the people all have got such an idea of my connexions at the castle, and my influence with his Excellency, that I am worried with eternal applications: they expect I can make them all gaugers or attorney-generals, I believe. How do they know I write to the castle? O'Bla. Mr. Carv. Well, you wanted to consult me, Gerald?
They say, he sets them over and after one another; and has lations of them that he lets out on the craturs' cabins, to larn how many grains of salt every man takes with his little prates, and bring information if a straw would be stirring. O'Bla. Ay, and if it would, then, it's Carver that would quake like the aspin leaf I know that.
O'Bla. And you'll give me your advice, which will be conclusive, law, and every thing to me. You know the McBrides would they be safe? Mr. Carv. Very safe, substantial people. O'Bla. Then here's the thing, Mr.
But these are the pains and penalties of being such a man of consequence as you evidently are; and I that am now going to add to your troubles too by consulting you about my little pint! Mr. Carv. A point of law, I dare to say; for people somehow or other have got such a prodigious opinion of my law. O'Bla. Mr. Carv. And I own I cannot absolutely turn my back on people.
Very proper very proper: swear examinations that's the course, and only satisfaction in these cases to get justice. Catty. Justice! revenge sure! Oh! revenge is sweet, and I'll have it. Counshillor dear, I never went before Mr. Carver you know him, sir what sort is he? O'Bla. A mighty good sort of gentleman only mighty tiresome. Catty.
I understand and I'll engage I'll compass Catty, tho' she's a cunning shaver. O'Bla. Cunning? No; she's only hot tempered, and asy managed. Pat. Whatever she is, I'll do my best to plase you. And I expict your honour, counsellor, won't forget the promise you made me, to ask Mr. Carver for that little place that situation that would just shute me. O'Bla. Never fear, never fear.
O'Bla. That you would! You're an iligant lawyer, Mrs. Rooney; but have you the sinews of war? Catty. Is it money, dear? I have, and while ever I've one shilling to throw down to ould Matthew McBride's guinea, I'll go on; and every guinea he parts will twinge his vitals: so I'll keep on while ever I've a fiv'-penny bit to rub on another for my spirit is up. O'Bla. Ay, ay, so you say.
