Having had as much claret as they cared for, the gentlemen fluttered gaily into the drawing-room, and Puddock, who made up to Miss Gertrude, and had just started afresh, and in a rather more sentimental vein, was a good deal scandalised, and put out by the general's reciting with jolly emphasis, and calling thereto his daughter's special attention, his receipt for 'surprising a weaver, which he embellished with two or three burlesque improvements of his own, which Puddock, amidst his blushes and confusion, allowed to pass without a protest.
Indeed, this was a feud which just then divided the ladies of all Dublin, and the greater part of the country, with uncommon acrimony. And little Puddock flushed up, and his round eyes grew rounder and rounder, as she proceeded, every moment; and he did not know what to say for it had not struck him before that Messrs.
Suddenly his eye fell upon Private Mucklewame, blindly and woodenly yelling himself hoarse. In three strides M'Slattery was standing face to face with the unconscious criminal. "Yous low, lousy puddock," he roared "tak' off your bonnet!" He saved Mucklewame the trouble of complying, and strode back to his place in the ranks. "Yin mair, chaps," he shouted "for the young leddy!"
It was not exactly her money; it was her force of will and unflinching audacity that established her control over an easy, harmless, plastic old gentleman. Ha! on they go again, and a Puddock getting in and that's Toole. He's not so much hurt eh? 'Awkward if he dies a Papist, said cynical old Bligh the R.I.A. were Protestant by constitution.
The knowledge of good is all yours: you see nothing but the good that men have; you see it and, I dare say, truly where I can't. The darker knowledge is mine. Puddock, who thought he thoroughly understood King John, Shylock, and Richard III., was a good deal taken aback by Devereux's estimate of his penetration. 'Well, I don't think you know me, Devereux, resumed he with a thoughtful lisp.
'I tell you what, Thir, said Puddock, finding his patient nothing better, and not relishing the notion of presenting his man in that seedy condition upon the field: 'I've got a remedy, a very thimple one; it used to do wondereth for my poor Uncle Neagle, who loved rum shrub, though it gave him the headache always, and sometimes the gout. And Puddock had up Mrs.
'Augh, not at all it isn't Italian, but English, I'm thinking of a pilla, Puddock, you know the black rascal. 'Oh ho ho! laughed poor little Puddock, with a most gratified derisiveness, for he cherished in secret a great admiration for Devereux. And so they talked stage-talk.
Thturk has theen him that he'th under the action of poithon and it'th quite impractithable, gentlemen, that thith affair of honour can protheed at prethent; and Puddock drew himself up peremptorily, and replaced his hat, which somebody had slipped into his hand, upon his round powdered head. Mr.
Puddock explained, and the storm subsided, rumbling off in half a dozen testy assertions on the general's part that he, Puddock, had distinctly used the word 'wounded, and now and then renewing faintly, in a muttered explosion, on the troubles and worries of his command, and a great many 'pshaws! and several fits of coughing, for the general continued out of breath for some time.
'Is he found are you found? cried the doctor, resuming that great shake by both hands, which in his momentary puzzle he had suspended. 'I a oh, dear!
