Breakfast was now over a plain and severely frugal one, by the way, it was and her husband was about to proceed to Lisnisgola, in order to get the bank post-bill changed, when, from the parlor where they sat, he saw the Cannie Soogah approaching the hall-door, the huge pack, as usual, on his shoulder.
"So I was just saying, Nancy," replied her husband; "hallo! who's this coming up to the hall-door? begad, our old pleasant friend, the Cannie Soogah. Upon my troth, I'm glad to see him. Hallo! Cannie! Cannie Soogah, my hearty, Jolly Pedlar, I say this way! How are you, man? have you breakfasted? Of course not.
But now listen, my darlin' girl, take this shawl, it's 'worth five-and-twenty guineas at least, troth, poor thing! it wasn't since their marriage it was bought; take it, I say, and go up widout sayin' a word, and lay it just where it was before, and if she seems surprised on findin' it there, tell her you suppose I forgot it, or if she won't believe you, and that all fails you, say that the Cannie Soogah, although she knows nothing about him, is a man that's undher great obligations to her family, and that he only tuck that method of payin' back a debt to her that he honestly owed to them, for, afther all, isn't she one of them?"
He sauntered towards the proctor's, at whose house he arrived a few minutes before the return from the kitchen of our friend the Connie Soogah, who had been treated there with an excellent and abundant breakfast, to which, in spite of the murder of Murray, he did ample justice. "Now, Mr.
I'm a great coortier, ladies, you must know, and am in love wid every purty girl I meet but sure that's only natural; however, as I was sayin', it's not to a clype or a pair of smooth-in' irons I'll produce such stockins' as these! No, no, but a purty foot an' leg is always sure to get the worth o' their money from the Cannie Soogah!"
"No," replied the Cannie Soogah; "I axed the stranger the same question, and he couldn't tell me.
"Now, Mr. Frank," said the, pedlar, "as you know the danger that's about you, I say that unless you get out o' the counthry at wanst, you'll only have a hand in your own death if anything happens. You're, goin' now, I suppose, to Mr. Purcel's; if you are if it wouldn't be troublesome jist say that the Cannie Soogah will call there in the coorse o' the mornin' for breakfast."
"He is dead, captain," replied several, "and so may every one die that's a traitor to the Cannie Soogah our bold Captain Right." A body of about a thousand men now made their appearance, every one of them personally devoted to the Cannie Soogah; and brought there for the humane purpose, if possible, of saving Purcel and his sons that night.
Devil a thing, however, like an endowed church, and may God keep me and all my friends from the voluntary system! ha! ha! ha! Come, now, for that same hit at the old proctor, you must walk over here and play me my old favorite, the 'Cannie Soogah, just to pull down your pride.
