With great pride the old woman conducted me over the premises, and showed me the furniture "the masther" had bought; especially recommending to my notice a china tea-service, which she considered the most wonderful acquisition of the whole. "Och! who would have thought, a year ago, misthress dear, that we should be living in a mansion like this, and ating off raal chaney?
But what I wants to intermate to you, will explain all dis difficulty; and it do show de raal super'ority of a coloured man over de white poperlation. Now, you mark my words, cook, and be full of admiration! Jack Tier came back along wid de Mexican gentle'em, in my anchor-watch, dis very night! You see, in de first place, ebbery t'ing come to pass in nigger's watch."
"It's raal sinful, Victory, to give way to temper like you does." "Oh, dat's all fine 'nuff. But I don't wish to stand in nobody's way. I'd better take my work upstairs." "Set still, set still, Miss Victory," urged Dolf. "Der's no secret. We shall have de uttermost pleasure in making you 'quainted wid de pint in question."
He's a raal spilt nigger: his master dressed him like a gentleman, and he had nothin to do all day but to drive de carriage; and he told me hisself, when he was out late at night wid de young ladies, at parties, he never was woke in de mornin, but was 'lowed to sleep it out, and had a good hot breakfast when he did wake. Well, they got him off.
"Why, the captain described you as a ship's boy," observed the doctor. "Arrah, shure, he'd not the captain at all, at all," exclaimed Mike, lifting up his head; "he was first mate until the raal capt'n died. But maybe he didn't say how the ship came to be cast away." The doctor made no reply to the Irishman's remark. "I must see about this," he said to himself.
If-so-be, he said, that your honor is agreeable to trust the poor fellow out on another cruise among the beasts, heres a small matter that will help to bring down the risk, seeing that theres just thirty-five of your Spaniards in it; and I wish, from the bottom of my heart, that they was raal British guineas, for the sake of the old boy.
Many a happy day we passed together; and I could take it to my death, that an ill word, let alone to rise our hands to one another, never passed between us only one day, that a word or two happened about the dinner, in the middle of Lent, being a little too late, so that the horses were kept nigh half an hour out of the plough; and I wouldn't have valued that so much, only that it was Beal Cam Doherty that joined * me in ploughing that year and I was vexed not to take all I could out of him, for he was a raal Turk himself.
"Isn't Tom Steele a Protesthant himself, John?" "Well, I believe he is. So's Gray, and more of 'em too; but there's a difference between them and the downright murdhering Tory set. Poor Tom doesn't throuble the Church much; but you'll be all for Protesthants now, Martin, when you've your new brother-in-law. Barry used to be one of your raal out-and-outers!"
Smaller animals may be got along with, with a narvous crew, perhaps; but when it comes to the raal old bulls, or bull-dogs, as a body might better call 'em, give me stout hearts, as well as stout hands." 'Well, now, to my notion, Watson, it is less dangerous to take a sea-elephant than to fasten to a regular old bull-whale, that may be has had half a dozen irons in him already."
What is there again Counshillor O'Blaney? Honor. Counshillor! First place, why do you call him counshillor? he never was a raal counshillor sure nor jantleman at all. Phil. Oh! counshillor by courtesy he was an attorney once just as we doctor the apotecary. Honor. But, Phil, was not there something of this man's being dismissed the courts for too sharp practice? Phil.
