Wasn't it yourself that threw me in the mud, or my nose was done for? Shaugh, Shaugh, my boy, since we are taken, tip them the blarney, and say we're generals of division!" I need not say with what a burst of laughter I received this very original declaration. "I ought to know that laugh," cried a voice I at once knew to be my friend O'Shaughnessy's.
"And so we did, till we came in sight of a small candle that burned dimly at a distance from us. "'Make for the light, said I; but just as I said so Shaugh slipped and fell flat on the flagway. The noise of his fall sent up a hundred echoes in the silent building, and terrified us both dreadfully.
With the spring came not only labour, but enjoyment: 'In the spring, the young man's fancy lightly turned to thoughts of love, as lads and lasses, who had been pining for each other by their winter firesides, met again, like Daphnis and Chloe, by shaugh and lea; and learnt to sing from the songs of birds, and to be faithful from their faithfulness.
The stones are nowhere large, however, rarely exceeding five feet high. Then we come to Shaugh, where the rivers struggle through rocky ravines and finally join their waters. The little Shaugh church crowns the granite rocks on one side, while on the other is the towering crag of the Dewerstone.
'Let us do the gallant thing, and carry her home ourselves. Shaugh thought this a great notion; and in a minute we mounted the poles and sallied forth, amidst a great chorus of laughing from all the footmen, maids, and teaboys that filled the passage. "'The big house, with the bow-window and the pillars, Captain, said a fellow, as we issued upon our journey.
The towne of Laighon, which was the chiefest place in all that land, haue I seen, and Langro and Rosar also, which be now ouerrun by the Shaugh and his power, and be so spoiled, and the people so robbed, that not one of them is able to buy one karsie.
Sir Arthur Lord Wellington, I mean had him up for his fellows being caught pillaging, and gave him a devil of a rowing a few days ago. "'Very disorderly corps yours, Major O'Shaughnessy, said the general; 'more men up for punishment than any regiment in the service. "Shaugh muttered something; but his voice was lost in a loud cock-a-doo-do-doo, that some bold chanticleer set up at the moment.
Notwithstanding his eldest sonne Ismael about 25. yeeres past, fought a great battell with the Turke, and slew of his armie about an hundred thousand men: who after his returne was by his father cast into prison, and there continueth vntil this day: for his father the Shaugh had him in suspicion that he would haue put him downe, and haue taken the regiment vnto himselfe.
"For Mary Draper and Co., I thank you," said Maurice. "Quill drinks to Dennis," added he, in a grave tone, as he nodded to O'Shaughnessy. "Yes, Shaugh, few men better than ourselves know these matters; and few have had more experience of the three perils of Irishmen, love, liquor, and the law of arrest." "It's little the latter has ever troubled my father's son," replied O'Shaughnessy.
"Ah, Maurice, Maurice!" said Shaugh, with a sigh, "you'll never improve, you'll never improve!" "Why the devil would I?" said he. "Ain't I at the top of my profession full surgeon with nothing to expect, nothing to hope for? Oh, if I had only remained in the light company, what wouldn't I be now?" "Then you were not always a doctor?" said I. "Upon my conscience, I wasn't," said he.
