O'Driscol, you're well known! to have more o' the divil than the man in you beggin' your pardon, sir, for the freedoms, I'm takin' but it's all for your own good I'm doin' it. Have you e're a mouse-hole about your place, sir?" "A-hem! Why, Cannie," asked O'Driscol, with an expression of strong alarm in his face "why do you ask so so singular a question as that?"
"Cannie," said Fergus, "we were just-talking of Buck English. Mr. Purcel here-says that there's some mystery about him; for nobody knows how he lives, and every one almost is afraid of him. My Father, however, denies that every one is afraid of him." "Buck English!" exclaimed the pedlar. "Mr. O'Driscol, darlin', what did your honor say about him?"
"I think, O'Grady," Captain O'Driscol said, two days later, "we are going to have our opportunity, for unless I am mistaken there is going to be a change of weather. Those clouds banking up ahead look like a gale from the southwest." Before night the wind was blowing furiously, and the Sea-horse taking green sea over her bows and wallowing gunwale under in the waves.
"Yes, my dear John," observed O'Driscol, with a good deal of solemn pomp, especially as the magistrate was beginning to supersede the man, "all that is very provoking, but at the same time you know the horsewhip is an illaygal instrument." "I beg your pardon, sir," replied Purcel, with a smile, "I believe not." "I mane, John," said the other, "an improper use of it is.
The proctor stared at him with unaffected surprise, which, by the way, did not escape the magistrate's notice. "A conspiracy!" he added, "and did John tell you this?" "Why, not exactly," replied O'Driscol, fearing that the young man, as we have already hinted, had been indiscreet, and consequently wished to keep him as much out of blame as possible; "not exactly, my dear Mat hem my dear Mr.
"How about the rations, Major?" Terence asked. "They have just been served out. I sent my man down to draw the rations for the whole wing at once, and told him to bring them up here." "And I have told mine," Captain O'Driscol said, "to go round the village and buy up two or three dozen chickens, if he can find them, and as many eggs as he can collect.
O'Driscol, and as I am, I trust, an honest man, I never once mentioned your name, nor was there the slightest allusion made to it none, sir, whatever." "The truth is, I should think it very, strange, Mr. Purcel, and very odd, and very unfriendly and disenganious in you to spake of any magistrate in such a style as that. However, Sam, take the book and swear Hourigan."
Fergus now brought Alick out to the garden, where they seemed to enjoy a very merry dialogue if several fits of hearty laughter may be said to constitute mirth; after this Alick went home; not, however, we should say until he first contrived to enjoy a short tete-a-tete with Miss O'Driscol.
"'Nothing to you; but we've been tould that you're well acquainted wid Procthor Purcel, and that you know a young man, by name M'Carthy, that stops for the present wid Mr. Magistrate O'Driscol. "'I do, says myself; 'I'll not deny but I know them all well I mane in the way o' business for I call there often to sell my goods.
"Faith, it is too bad, entirely; there we are left out in the cold, and scarce a shot has been fired!" "There are plenty of others in the same case," Captain O'Driscol said. "None of our three brigades on the left have had anything to do with the matter, as far as fighting went.
