It equals the most splendid achievements of antiquity." And Ralph chuckled. "He deserved it, sir," said Mr. Jinks, with modest dignity. "Yes you had your revenge." "I will have more." "Why, are you not satisfied?" "No!" "You will still pursue with your dreadful enmity the unfortunate O'Brallaghan?" "Yes, sir!" "Well, I'll assist you." "It is my own quarrel.
A smile passed over the grim features, and a sort of sigh issued from the compressed lips of the lawyer. "Three suits, Roundjacket," said Mr. Rushton; "one common, another rich, another as elegant as O'Brallaghan can make. I really believe this boy is going to amuse me." "A most remarkable youth," observed the clerk, "and draws sketches with astonishing ease." "Ah?" "Don't you, young man?"
Between this lady and Mr. Jinks, on the present occasion, glances passed more than once; and when O'Brallaghan not appearing Mr. Jinks rode away from the shop of the dastard, in dignified disgust, he directed the steps of Fodder, cautiously and gently, around the corner, and stopped before the door of Mistress O'Calligan's lodging.
The great swordsman continued to utter loud cries, and to remonstrate piteously. Only the clatter of his sword, and Ralph's shouts of laughter, answered him. Still on! and in five minutes Fodder was opposite the store of O'Brallaghan. A brilliant idea suddenly struck Ralph; with the rapidity and presence of mind of a great general, he put it into execution.
Jinks back to his former position. But his feet are out of the stirrups, he cannot keep his seat; and suddenly he feels a hand upon his leg his enemy glares on him; he is whirled down to the earth, and O'Brallaghan has caught his prey. The stormy combat, with its cries, and shouts, and blows, and imprecations, closes over them, and all seems lost for Jinks. Not so.
Jinks creeps up; diabolical and gloomy thoughts agitate his soul; and when a night-cap appears at an opening in the shutter, and a fluttering voice exclaims, "Oh, now really! Mr. O'Brallaghan," the hidden spectator trembles with jealousy and rage. A colloquy then ensues between the manly singer and the maiden, which we need not repeat. It is enough to say, that Mr.
That gentleman seemed to be dubious of his friend's ability to prepare a revenge suitable to the deserts of O'Brallaghan, who had sold his favorite coat. Mr. Jinks, however, looked like a man certain of victory. "Revenge, sir," said Mr. Jinks, "is of two descriptions.
Verty finished, by taking off the bow of ribbon which secured his hair behind, and scattering the profuse curls over his shoulders. "Now," he sighed, looking in a mirror which hung upon the wall, "I feel more like myself." Jinks gazed at him with dignified emotion. "You return to the woods, sir," he said; "would that I could make up my mind to follow your example. This man, O'Brallaghan, however "
A savage flirt of his locks completed his toilette, and in all the splendor of his scarlet stockings and embroidered waistcoat, he issued forth. O'Brallaghan, as he passed through the shop, requested to be informed where Mr. Jinks was going. Jinks stopped, and scowled at Mr. O'Brallaghan, thereby intimating that his, Jinks', private rights were insolently invaded by a coarse interrogatory.
Roundjacket informed Verty that it would be better to get the suit, if it fitted, inasmuch as O'Brallaghan would probably take double the time he promised to make his proper suit in an observation which O'Brallaghan repelled with indignation; and so the consequence was, that a quarter of an hour afterwards Roundjacket and Verty issued forth the appearance of the latter having undergone a remarkable change.
