Lyden, in his languid, subtle brogue, with a side-glance at that body, "it may be no harm to mention that the plaintiff is alluding to the Chairman's yearling calves and not to his costume." "Order now!" said Mr. Heraty severely. "An' he says," continued William, warily purging his frog-countenance of any hint of appreciation, "that Sweeny knew the ullán that was on her as well as himself did."
"Give her a look jest before we went up to breakfast," replied the skipper. "She'll hold." Coronado, who stood three feet distant, blew a quiet little whiff of smoke through his thin purple lips, meanwhile dreamily contemplating the speaker. "Git in, you paddywhack," said Glover to Sweeny. "Grab yer paddle. T'other end; that's the talk. Now then. All aboard that's goin'. Shove off."
We now arrayed ourselves in our best, and sallied ashore; and, at once, I piloted Harry to the sign of a Turkey Cock in Fulton-street, kept by one Sweeny, a place famous for cheap Souchong, and capital buckwheat cakes. "Well, gentlemen, what will you have?" said a waiter, as we seated ourselves at a table. "Gentlemen!" whispered Harry to me "gentlemen! hear him!
"Come in, Sweeny. Let us all have a talk together about the old times and the new ones." So there was a long talk, miscellaneous and delightful, full of reminiscences and congratulations and good wishes. "Wal, we're a lucky lot," said Glover at last. "Sh'd like to hear 'f some good news for the sergeant and Mr. Kelly. Sh'd go back hum easier for it."
"I'm off," said Sweeny, after one more look into the chasm. While the others held the cord to keep the strain from coming on the bayonet, he gripped it with both hands, edged stern foremost over the precipice, and slipped rapidly to the bowlder, whence he sent up a hoot of exultation.
Sweeny, roused to activity at last, flung off the bedclothes. "Get out of the room with you," he said to his wife, "and shut the door. It's down to the kitchen you'll go and let me hear you doing it." Mrs. Sweeny was too wise to disobey or argue. She snatched a petticoat from a chair near the door and left the room hurriedly. Sweeny went to the window.
"How would it be now if you was in her, you and the strange gentleman, and the master on shore, and you steering? Would she upset then, do you think?" "It could be done, of course, but " "Nigh hand to one of the islands," said Sweeny, "in about four foot of water or maybe less. I'd be sorry if anything would happen the gentleman." "I'd be sorry anything would happen myself. But it's easy talking.
At half-past two it appeared hopeless even to dream of getting out before the regular six o'clock. The head foreman rushed through the aisles and bawled to us to "hustle for all we were worth," as customers were all demanding their goods. "My God! ain't we hustling?" angrily shouted Rosie Sweeny, a pretty girl at the next table, who supplied most of the profanity for our end of the room.
Rowed forty mile after a whale onct, 'n' caught the critter fairly rowed him down. Current's putty lively. Sh'd say 't was tearin' off 'bout five knots an hour. But guess I'll try it. Sh'd kinder like to feel water under me agin." "Captain, you shall handle the ship," smiled Thurstane. "I'll mention you by name in my report. Who next?" "Me," yelped Sweeny. "Can you row, Sweeny?"
Sweeny, changed to an expression of absolute stupefaction as I concluded. "Wot stuff are you tryin' to fool me with?" he said at last roughly. "I mean," I replied sharply, "that this double game of yours is disgraceful. Your association with Mrs. Sweeny demands the withdrawal of any claim you have upon Miss Baxter at once.
