They carried Mark to the Saxon cottage and laid him on Billy's bed. There was no lack of nurses. Aunt Saxon and Christie McMertrie, the Duncannons and Mary Rafferty, Jim too, and Tom. It seemed that everybody claimed the honors. The minister was across the street in the Little House. They dared not move him farther. Of the two the case of the minister was the most hopeless.
Frank did not forget his old street comrade, Dick Rafferty, but gave him a position as porter, Dick's education not being sufficient to qualify him for a clerkship.
"Who's that?" said Father Phil. "Hennessy, your reverence." "Very well, Mark. I suppose Matthew, Luke, and John will follow your example?" "We will, your reverence." "Ah! I thought you made a mistake; we'll call you now the Faithful Apostles and I think the change in the name is better than seven and sixpence apiece to you. "I see you in the gallery there, Rafferty.
"Will you give me pennies?" asked Phil doubtfully, for he did not care, with such a severe taskmaster, to work for nothing. "Yes, we'll give you pennies." Upon this, Phil struck up a tune. "Where's your monkey?" asked one of the boys. "I have no monkey." "If you want a monkey, here's one for you," said Tim Rafferty, putting his hand on his companion's shoulder.
Therefore, it is fairly obvious that you run several sorts of risk by refusing to help me in finding my daughter, and I can hardly believe that you know nothing about her movements. . . . Come, my man, don't be both a fool and a knave, but speak!" Rafferty, who had calmed down during this impressive harangue, took thought, and did speak.
He was not the only thing that was awake in the grey hour. For now he caught a faint and regular creaking of the stairs. Someone was mounting with an excessively cautious and patient step, for usually the crazy stairs that led up to this garret room of the Rafferty house creaked and groaned a protest at every footfall. Now the footfall paused at the head of the stairs, as when one stops to listen.
'Don't mind him, Mulvaney, I said; 'Dinah Shadd won't let you hang yourself yet awhile, and you don't intend to try it either. Let's hear about the Tyrone and O'Hara. Rafferty shot him for fooling with his wife. What happened before that? 'There's no fool like an ould fool. You know you can do anythin' wid me whin I'm talkin'. Did I say I wud like to cut Mullins's liver out?
"You will come to the city some day. When you do you will know where to find me. Now go and play a tune to Jimmy. He is waiting for you. If you remain in the streets, your old enemy, Tim Rafferty, may want to borrow your fiddle again." "You are very kind to me, Paolo," said Phil, raising his dark eyes with a sudden impulse of gratitude.
He was a dark individual, half groom, half game-keeper in dress, a "wicked-looking divil," according to the description of his enemies, and an exceedingly foxy-looking individual in the eyes of Pinckney. "Rafferty," said Mr. Hennessey, "I want to show this gentleman round. Let's see the stables."
A temporary committee was named, consisting of Tim Rafferty, Wauchope and Hal, to keep the lists and the funds, and to run things until another meeting could be held on the morrow; also a body-guard of a dozen of the sturdiest and most reliable men were named to stay by the committee.
