"You don't mean O'Driscol's?" "Upon my profits, I do an' nobody else's. "Hillo! do you hear this, girls? O'Driscol's house was attacked last night!" "Heavenly father! I hope Alick is safe," exclaimed Mrs.
You will not mind, I hope, Captain Holland?" "I shall mind, of course, Colonel; but, as O'Driscol's company has now really only one officer, of course it cannot be helped, and as Menzies is the senior lieutenant, I have no doubt that he can manage very well with Parsons, who is very well up in his work."
"Well, the colonel has settled the matter, and Terence will be in Orders to-morrow as appointed to O'Driscol's company, and the other to yours." "Thank you for nothing, Cleary," O'Grady said, with dignity. "You would have seen that under my tuition the lad would have turned out one of the smartest officers in the regiment."
"He shoots well enough, Miss Julia when he pulls the trigger the gun goes off; but as for killin' birds, that my bed may be in heaven but they fly away laughin' at him."

On reaching Nassau Lodge, the party anticipated some danger from Fergus O'Driscol's fire-arms.
