"Bedad, Tom," whispered Mick to me, when he got out of range of the lieutenant's grapeshot, and we were having a feed ourselves in a quiet corner, "Oi wush thet blissid ould baist he wor roidin' hed run away wid him, sure, over the cliff an' made an ind ov the spalpeen! Faith, it isn't mesilf thet wud cry me oyes out, or wear mournin' fur him!"
Come along with yer carriage, ye blackguard, and don't stop there looking behind ye, as though ye were a light-house." The latter portion of the doctor's remarks was addressed to the driver of the vehicle, who, instead of paying any attention to the words of O'Haraty, was gazing, with an anxious glance, towards the city. "What is the spalpeen looking at?" demanded the doctor, angrily.
The boys were fed soup and fish with a slice of bread and a brown liquid which passed as coffee. O'Malley grumbled a lot, but he ate everything set before him. "If this is what the Geneva treaty said captured officers were to eat, I'm a spalpeen," O'Malley muttered as he marched away with Stan to their quarters.
The Moor did pull; and while his victim's arms were stretched across each other to the uttermost, he suddenly fell upon them, thereby almost forcing the shoulder-joints out of their sockets. "Och! ye spalpeen!" shouted Ted, flinging him off as if he had been a feather. Then, sinking back, he added, "Come on; you'll not ketch me slaipin' again, me honey!"
"Halloo there!" he shouted, and then bent his head sideways to listen; the children also looked over the side, deeply interested. "Halloo there! Are y'aslape? Oh, there y'are! Here's a spalpeen with a dhirty face, an's wishful to wash it; may I take a bailin' tin of Oh, thank your 'arner, thank your 'arner good day to you, and my respects." "What did the shark say, Mr Button?" asked Emmeline.
I changed my mind about a disguise, and put on my back the best clothes that I had to wear. I wished I had the new suits I had been measured for, but the spalpeen of a tailor would not let me have them unless I paid him some of the money they cost.
He stole me boots day afore yesterday, and the spalpeen refuses to return 'um." "He licked me last week," said another, in an under tone, "and if you think you can afford to beat him for a pound, I'll give it, readily." "When you aim at him, be sure to fire a second afore the word is given," cried another new, but not very conscientious friend.
All at once he stopped with a start of surprise, and, pointing some distance ahead and upon the ground, said: "There he is!" Following the direction indicated, Mickey saw the figure of a man stretched out upon the ground, face downward, as though asleep. "You ain't afeard of a dead spalpeen?" demanded Mickey, with a laugh.
"Och, the blood-thirsty spalpeen!" exclaimed Barney, as he rose and crossed the room to examine the bat in question, which was nailed against the wall. "Bad luck to them, they've ruined Martin intirely." "O no," remarked the hermit with a smile. "It will do the boy much good, the loss of the blood; much good, and he will not be sick at all to-morrow."
Come along ye little undersized spalpeen with your officer, won't you?"
