The very simplicity with which they had been uttered was startling, and made those three men doubt at the first whether they had heard aright. O'Toole was the first to break the silence. "It is a strange thing that there never was a father since Adam who was not absolutely sure in his heart that his first-born must be a boy.
Then he ups and signs the bail bond for a house and lot that he has never seen in his life. And here he is up agin it. An' it's a good stiff one His Honor will be handin' out to him to my way of thinkin', for these high fallutin' foreigners has got to be put a stop to, and Charley Nevers is a good one to begin on." "I think you're wrong, O'Toole," said I. "But we can tell better later on."
Catch th' blackguard! bawls O'Toole, rolling on th' pavement, laffin' an' bawlin'. "That old beggar was clipper built, fer sure, for wid her skirts clewed up she ware bearin' down fast on th' old mate an' kept his bow-legs a-lurchin' afore th' crowd a-comin' along in th' wake a-yellin' an' hootin' like mad.
There's one thing to the credit of these brothers, they agree vastly well; for one delights in being always on the stage, and the other always behind the scenes. These brothers, with Captain Andrews I hope they are none of them within hearing form a charming trio, all admirable in their way. My Lord O'Toole is artifice without art. My Lord Kilrush importance without power.
"'Caramba! she yells; 'I teach ye to insult a dacent old lady, you Yankee dog. Help! Murder! ye bloody raskil! Help, help! Thin she ware upon him like a wild cat, a clawin' an' bitin', screechin' and yellin'. "'Sink you for a bloody scoundrel, Jameson, I knows ye, roared Garnett. 'Larry, there, bear a hand. I have him. "'Hold him thin, ye brave man, sings out O'Toole, comin' up.
"'What th' devil did ye mean? asked Andrews; 'did ye take her to be Jameson in disguise? "''Pon me whurd, says O'Toole, 'th' first wan that comes aboard was no other an' this one looked enough like him from a stern view. 'Tis a bad trade, though, this killin' av leddies. An' he leered so at Garnett he swore horrible an' went forrads.
It will be a credit to you anyhow; and you, Corny O'Toole, you'll stand well in her good graces, when you come to talk about the wedding day; and your wife that is to be, pulled out of her bed by a dozen men. What will ye say to Kathleen, when you affront her by supposing that a maiden girl has a tithe proctor in bed with her? D'ye think that ye'll ever have the mother's consent or blessing?"
High and mighty as these personages thought themselves, and respectfully, nay obsequiously, as they were treated by most others, to this lady their characters appeared only a good study; and to laugh at them seemed only a good practice. "Perhaps, my lord," said she to me, "you do not yet know my Lord O'Toole?" "I have had the honour to be introduced to him." "That's well; for he thinks that,
Your face will tell the story, if once she sees it." O'Toole fell back again behind the carriage, and at four that afternoon they stopped before the post-house at Brixen. They had crossed the Brenner in a storm of snow and howling winds; they had travelled ten leagues from Innspruck. Wogan called a halt of half an hour. The Princess had eaten barely a mouthful since her supper of the night before.
So Murty O'Toole, to his intense disgust, was solemnly handed over to Mulgoa. Then Dr. Anderson, who captained Cunjee, won the toss, and Murty took the field along with his new allies, amid heartless jeers from Mr. Boone, smoking comfortably under a tree, who desired to know should he fetch Mr. O'Toole an umbrella?
