What is your name?" "Why, it's That's funny! It's gone again. I have an idea it began with an S. What was it? Skeffington? Skillington?" "Sanderson?" "No; I'll get it in a moment. Cunningham? Carrington? Wilberforce? Debenham?" "Dennison?" suggested Archie, helpfully. "No, no, no. It's on the tip of my tongue. Barrington? Montgomery? Hepplethwaite? I've got it! Smith!" "By Jove! Really?"
The pirate ships which had been watching Dublin Bay hovered round the fleet, cutting off straggling transports; and although one of them was chased and driven on shore, the small success poorly counterbalanced the injury which had been inflicted.

The life of the rebellion was gone from it.
Enniskillen was seized by a similar impulse of the popular will, and an association was quickly formed throughout Ulster in imitation of the English association which had invited over William, under the auspices of Lord Blaney, Sir Arthur Rawdon, Sir Clotworthy Skeffington, and others, "for the maintenance of the Protestant religion and the dependency of Ireland upon England."
