"They tell me," said Dan Gallaher, in a pleasant conversational tone, "that it's to be yourself, James McNiece, that's to be the head of the Orangemen in the parish now that MacManaway is gone." James looked at him sideways out of the corners of his eyes. Dan spoke in a friendly tone, but it is never wise to give any information to "Papishes and rebels."
"You will find you have used a thrifle too many for all that," said another of them; "when he hears them, you may be sure he'll put them in his pocket for you as hear them he will." "We don't care a d n," said another, "what he does to blackguard Papishes, so long as he's a right good Orangeman, and a right good Protestant, too."
Then he related his adventure with Tom Clarke, who he said was conveyed to his bedside he knew not how; and concluded with affirming they were no better than Papishes who did not believe in witchcraft.
A lower croak, that seemed to end with the words "black papishes," came through the closed door. "Old lunatic!" thought Christian; she drank the cocoa, and putting out the lamp, groped her way to the back-door. It opened on a shrieking hinge, and she was out into a pale grey dawn, pure and cold, with the shiver and freshness of new life in it.
I hate your London trash; and I think the great fire would have been a blessing in disguise if it had swept away most of such trumpery." "Oh, sir, if a Romanist were to say as much as that!" said Angela, laughing. "Oh, madam, I am not one of they fools that say because half London was burnt the Papishes must have set it on fire. What good would the burning of it do 'em, poor souls?
"But didn't you see, George," returned Phil, "that a man of them durstn't look me in the face? They couldn't stand my eye; upon my honor they couldn't." "Ay," said Burke, "that's because they're Papishes. A rascally Papish can never look a Protestant in the face." "Well but," said Phil, "you would not believe that the girl was so fond of me as she is, until you saw it.
"And another priest, of my acquaintance," said the landlady, "hath told me the same thing; but my husband is always so afraid of papishes. I know a great many papishes that are very honest sort of people, and spend their money very freely; and it is always a maxim with me, that one man's money is as good as another's."
Give me a Papish that breaks the law, let him be priest or layman, and I'm the boy that will take a grip of him if I can get him. But, confound me, if I like to be sent out to hunt innocent, inoffensive Papishes, who commit no crime except that of having property that chaps like Sir Robert have their eye on.
He had a low opinion of the five interlopers who were men of rude speech and democratic independence of manner. I was foolish enough to speak to Crossan about the matter. He met me with a blunt assertion that it was impossible to trust what he called "Papishes."
Now suppose the Papishes had the upper hand, and that they treated us so, what would you say?" "All I can say is," replied another of them, "that I'd wish to get the reward." "Curse the reward," said Johnston, "I like fair play." "But how did Sir Robert come to know?" asked another, "that Reilly was with the parson'?" "Who the deuce here can tell that?" replied several.
