But you won't tell me where he is? and I know why, because, with all your pretended knowledge, the devil a know you know." "Are you sure of that?" "Ay, cocksure." "Then I can tell you that he is sitting on the chair there, opposite me. Go about your business, Rody, and rant elsewhere; you may impose upon others, but not upon a man that can penetrate the secrets of human life as I can.
If Lamh Laudher comes off best, all I've struv for is knocked on the head. Dher Chiernah, I'll crush the sowl of his father or I'll not die happy." "Nell, you're bittherer than soot, and blacker too," observed Rody. "Am I?" said Nell, "an' is it from the good crathur that was ready, the other night, to murdher the mild innocent woman that he spakes so well of, that we hear sich discoorse?"
"Thrue, for you, Rody; why, I thought he might take it into his head to watch my motions, in regard that, as I said, I think him in Mike's intherest." "Nonsense, man, what the dickens 'ud bring him into the stable loft? Why, you're beside yourself?" "Be Gor, I bleeve so, but no matther.
On the occasion in question the bird was brought to table slightly overdone, so Old Rody told the butler to retire and send up the cook. No sooner had the butler left the room than Old Rody picked up the goose by, its shanks and took his stand behind the door. A dreadful silence reigned; the guests were as though stiffened into stone.
Rody, however, immediately left them to discuss the matter among themselves, and went, thoroughly crestfallen, to give an account of his mission to Caterine Collins, who had employed him, and to reassume his own clothes, which, indeed, were by no means fresh from the tailor. The last individual whose interview with the conjurer we shall notice was no other than Harry Woodward, our hero.
In this latter, he took unto himself as his principal accomplice, Red Rody Duncan, whose anxiety to procure the driver's situation arose from the necessity that existed, to have a friend in the house, who might aid them in effecting a quiet entrance, and by unloading or wetting the fire-arms, neutralize the resistance which they might otherwise expect.
"Oh! begor' he is," replied Old Rody, "and the other's a regular kitchen-maid." Near the close of a not at all reputable career Old Rody "found it most convenient" to marry his housemaid. He survived the ceremony only a few months. His widow, disappointed in her expectations of wealth for the estate cut up very badly, indeed emigrated to Australia, where, I believe, she soon married again.
"Why, indeed, as handsome a vagabone as you'd see in a day's travellin'." "Mention his name; I can tell you nothing till I hear it." "He's called Rantin' Rody, the thief, and a great schamer he is among the girls." "Ranting Rody let me see," and here he looked very solemnly into his book "yes; I see a halter. My good woman, you had better not inquire after him; he was born to be hanged."
After the lapse of a short interval, in which Lamh Laudher's daughter received back her money, the certificate, and the gospel, her brother discovered that Rody was the person who had, through Ellen Neil, communicated to him the secret that assisted him in vanquishing the Dead Boxer, a piece of information which saved him from prosecution.
What did I say?" "You talked a good deal, an' said that it was Condy Dalton that murdhered him, and that you had Red Rody to prove it." "That was what I said? eh, Sarah?" "That's what you said, an' I thought it was only right to tell you." "It was right, Sarah; but at the same time, at the peril of your life, never folly me there again. Of coorse, you know now that Sullivan is buried there."
