"Aye, even Beelzebub, disguised as the peddler; and them fellows we thought to be Skinners were his imps." "Well sure, sargeant dear, ye're but little out this time, anyway; for if the divil's imps go at large in the county Westchester, sure it is the Skinners, themselves." "Mrs.
"And a lucky escape it was for ye, my jewel of a doctor," cried Betty, as the captain concluded. "Sargeant Hollister, who saw him face to face, as it might be, says it's Beelzeboob, and no piddler, unless it may be in a small matter of lies and thefts, and sich wickedness. Now a pretty figure ye would have been in cutting up Beelzeboob, if the major had hanged him.
Everett and Sargeant, who made the minority report, were scouted at. What has come of all this? Nothing worse than nothing. Jackson used these very men like dogs: they knew too much, and must be got rid off, or they would stop his profligacy too. They were greased and swallowed: and he gave them up to the torments of an anti-Jackson conscience.

Ye spake the trot, sargeant, interrupted his wife, and I would iver have ye be doing the same.
"I only said she would do well to be more careful." Sargeant shifted his cigar to the other corner of his mouth, one eye shut to avoid the smoke. "One might say as much of lots of people," he answered. "I don't like your tone!" Carter flared out. "Oh, go to the devil, Johnnie! Shall we all have a drink?" On the Friday evening of that week, Condy set himself to his work at his accustomed hour.
His mother was not to be at home that evening, and Condy dined at his club in the hopes of finding some one with whom he could go to the theatre later on in the evening.

"I guess I'll join you to-night," said Condy.
And a divil of a time we had, 'tis thrue. Shake hands wid th' sargeant, Norah, and we'll be off to home." Before stepping into the cab Norah sighed profoundly. "I've had such a nice time, Jerry," said she. We no longer groan and heap ashes upon our heads when the flames of Tophet are mentioned.
