Why, I tell you, upon my honour, Mrs. Rebecca Chattesworth's black boy, only t'other day, swallowed a musket bullet twice the size, ha! ha! he did and I set him to rights in no time with a little powder. 'Gunpowder? said Devereux. 'And what of O'Flaherty? I'm told he was going to shoot poor Miles O'More. 'Ha, ha! hey?
'I scorn you, sir; Maurice is as good as gold; I shall leave him at home, I think, to prove that I can 'That's the reward of merit! exclaimed Sophy. 'She expects my children to corrupt him! quoth Mr. Ferrars. 'For shame, Maurice; that's on purpose to make me bring him. Well, we'll see what papa says, and if he thinks the new black horse strong enough, or to be trusted with Mr. O'More.
Ferrars, 'that young O'More was taking a walk on the towing-path, and was just so far off as to see, without being able to prevent it, this little monkey scramble from the gate upon the horse's neck. How it was that he did not go down between, I can't guess; the beast gave a violent start, as well it might, jerked the reins loose, and set off full gallop.
Moreover, he had fallen in with Bryan O'More, and had been able to do him sundry kindnesses, the report of which brought Ulick to Willow Lawn in an overflow of gratitude. It was a strange state of affairs there.
Kendal, the O'Mores have too much gentle blood to do like that, even if she were one whom any one could scorn. Why, what is my mother herself but a Goldsmith by birth, and I'd like to see who would cast it up to any of the family that she was not as noble as an O'More! And Genevieve herself isn't every look and every movement full of the purest gentility her fathers' land can show?
M'Morrough, O'More, O'Connor, O'Brien, in September, with the greatest part of the gentlemen of the county of Kildare, were retained and sat at Carlow, Castledermot, Athye, Kilkea, and thereabout, with victualls during three weeks, to resist the Earl of Ossory from invading of the county of Kildare. State Papers, Vol. II. p. 251.
There were four regiments commanded by O'Neils, two by O'Briens, two by O'Kellys, one each by McCarthy More, Maguire, O'More, O'Donnell, McMahon, and Magennis, principally recruited among their own clansmen. There were also the regiments of Sarsfield, Nugent, De Courcy, Fitzgerald, Grace, and Burke, chiefly Celts, in the rank and file.
Besides his mother, whom he honoured far more really, had written, not without disappointment, but with full confidence in his ability to judge for himself. Mr. Kendal and Mr. Ferrars both wrote warmly in Genevieve's praise, and certainly her footing at Willow Lawn was the one point d'appui in bringing round the O'More family; so that as Ulick truly said, 'It was Mrs.
Poor Sophy, to her that tryste had been a subject of unmitigated affliction and shame, and it was a cruel wound that Ulick O'More should, of all men, have turned it into ridicule. What would be the effect on her? In process of time Mr. Kendal returned. 'Albinia, he said, 'this is a most unfortunate affair.
I agree in the main with what the "Nation" said of him in 1843 "Though he often fell into ludicrous exaggerations and burlesques in describing Irish life, there is a good national spirit running through the majority of his works, for which he has not received due credit." One of his stories, "Rory O'More," achieved universal popularity also as a play, a song and an air.
