The lad was as stage-struck as ever could barely talk sense on any other subject, and not much on that. But if he, owing to the clash of an inner struggle, was weary of politics, the world in general could think and speak of nothing else.
This vast, lumbering, ignorant, dull-witted lout was stage-struck, and irrecoverably. He disappeared, and presently turned up in St. Louis. I ran across him there, by and by.
Daly, who had for some time past been in silent admiration of my stage-struck appearance "upon my conscience, Mr. Lorrequer, I had no conception you knew Irish."
