You know he doesn't like a bone in your honor's skin; and the Reillys are cruel and desperate." "But, Lanigan, are you aware of any plot or conspiracy that has been got up against my life?" "Not at all, your honor; but I put it to yourself, sir, whether you don't feel that I'm speaking the truth."
I intrusted them with my two Reillys No. 10, and with my little Fletcher in hand I determined to spend the whole day in searching every thicket of the forest for lions, as I felt convinced that the animal that had disturbed us during the night was concealed somewhere within the neighboring jungle. The whole day passed fruitlessly.
But more than all Max felt, and in a way Hilda felt, too, that Peterson would never have found it necessary to use a revolver; his fists would have been enough for a dozen Reillys. Max did not tell Hilda about all the conversations he and Peterson had had during the last week, for they were confidential.
Moreover, I had already made up a list of the names of city friends to whom I intended to send handsome specimens of these first fruits of my experiments in farming; the Reillys, the Lynches, the Chapins, the Maxwells, the Scotts, the Fayes, the Deweys, the Morrises, the Millards, the Larneds, the Fletchers, the Ways these and other fortunate cronies were to be made recipients of my bounty in case the fruit held out.

We may say here that Reillys friends took care that neither jailer nor turnkey should make him acquainted with the unhappy state of the Cooleen Bawn; he was consequently ignorant of it, and, fortunately, remained so until after his return home.

It's all past and gone now but three of the Reillys were desperate against Vesey that night, particularly one of them that he had shot about a year and a half before that is, peppered two of the right-hand fingers of him, one night in a scuffle, as Vesey came home from an Orange lodge.
Being close to the tent, I returned, and, in addition to my single-barrelled rifle, I took my two Reillys No. 10, with Hassan and Hadji Ali. In company with Taher Noor we searched throughout the bushes for the wounded lion, but without success. I now determined to make a cast, hoping that we might succeed in starting some other animal that would give us a better chance.
