Aren't you all frinds an' brothers, sworn brothers, an' why would you be fightin' among other? Misther Costigan, give me your hand; sure I heard a thrifle o' what you were sayin' while I was suckin' my dudeen at the fire widout. Come here, Misther Connell. Now, before the saints in glory, I lay my bitter curse an him that refuses to shake hands wid his inimy. There now I'm proud to see it.
An' me livin' on an' kapin' clear av clink, not by my own good conduck, but the kindness av some orf'cer-bhoy young enough to be son to me! Do I not know ut? Can I not tell whin I'm passed over at p'rade, tho' I'm rockin' full av liquor an' ready to fall all in wan piece, such as even a suckin' child might see, bekaze, "Oh, 'tis only ould Mulvaney!"
An' as for yours why, Anson, it wouldn't hold water against one real gun-slinger." "A-huh' Then if we ran up ag'in' Carmichael or some such fellar would you be suckin' your finger like a baby?" "Wal, I wasn't takin' count of myself. I was takin' generalities." "Aw, what 'n hell are them?" asked Anson, disgustedly. "Jim, I know as well as you thet this hyar gang is hard put.
What a friend! They took their way up the valley, walking side by side. For a long while both kept silence. "Pretty country!" by-and-by observed Captain Tobias. He paused as if to take stock of it, but his gaze was meditative rather than observant. "Suckin' pigs, too, . . ." he added after a while, and resumed his way. "What about 'em?"
Only only I thought there'd be no 'arm in my askin' you to do it throughout like. Midmore fairly gasped. 'Then, why the devil did you turn my carts back when when I sent them up here to do it throughout for you? Mr. Sidney sat down on the floodgates, his eyebrows knitted in thought. 'I'll tell you, he said slowly. ''Twas too dam' like cheatin' a suckin' baby. My woman, she said so too.
There's neither spirit, enterprise, nor patriotism here; but the whole country is as inactive as a bear in winter, that does nothin but scroutch up in his den, a thinkin to himself, "well if I ant an unfortunate divil, it's a pity; I have a most splendid warm coat as are a gentleman in these here woods, let him be who he will; but I got no socks to my feet, and have to sit for everlastingly a suckin of my paws to keep 'em warm; if it warn't for that, I guess, I'd make some o' them chaps that have hoofs to their feet and horns to their heads, look about them pretty sharp, I know."
Neot, when his turn came to speak, 'but this state o' things ought to be exposed. He's as big as bull's beef, is St. Neot, ever since he worked that miracle over the fishes, an' reckons he can disparage an old man who was makin' millstones to float when he was suckin' a coral. But the upshot is, they're goin' to pay us a Visitation to-morrow, by surprise.
"Why?" cried Mrs. Trapes bitterly, "I'll tell you why because me an' Hermy an' every one else is bein' squeezed dry t' fill the pockets of a thing as calls itself a man a thievin' beast on two legs as is suckin' our blood, gnawin' our flesh, grindin' the life out of us a great fat man as is treadin' us down under his great boots, down an' down to slavery death an' worse it's such men as him as keeps the flames of hell goin' fat frizzles well, an' so will Mulligan, I hope!"
I got some stuff for that rash on his chest. I wouldn't wonder if we been feeding him too heavy on bacon rinds, Bud. They say too much of that kinda thing is bad for kids. Still, he seems to feel all right." "I'll tell the world he does! He got hold of your old pipe to-day and was suckin' away on it, I don't know how long. Never feazed him, either.
He called himself Adam; that was the only name I ever know'd him by. "Well, him an' me became great friends. He lived wi' a band of Pawnee Injuns, and had married a wife among them; not that she was a pure Injun neither, she was a half-breed. My Mary was their only child; she was a suckin' babe at that time.
