"Prisident Madison will tell yez to moind yer own business," the Hibernian answered. "We'll see about that!" Terrence was determined on making the journey, and he set out next day by the mail coach for Washington City. Public houses in Washington were not numerous then, yet there were a few good hotels, and he put up at the old Continental House.
Terrence and Sukey both volunteered to accompany Fernando's detached riflemen in the vigorous campaign which was before them. Fernando's riflemen now numbered one hundred and sixty-two, composed mostly of frontiersmen, all dead shots. Sukey declared that he was in the game and would kill a British officer for every stripe Captain Snipes had caused to be laid on his shoulders.
"Captain, do ye remember the little girl at Mariana five years ago, the one yersilf and the Englishman were about to break heads over?" "You mean Morgianna Lane, Terrence?" "To be sure I do. I saw the swate craythur not two months since." Fernando, who was anything but sleepy, asked: "Where did you see her, Terrence?" "In Baltimore.
He was bargaining with a coasting schooner to take himself and crew to Halifax, when one evening Terrence came to him with a very serious face, as if the fortunes of Great Britain were in peril. "Captain, it's bad news I have for ye," said Terrence. "The brandy is all gone, and divil a bit o' whiskey can be had for love or money."
Terrence became nurse to the invalid as well as the brewer of punch for the captain. Only one other person was taken into the secret plans of the Irishman, that was the negro Job. Job was delighted. "Gwine ter run away!" he chuckled, "yah, yah, yah, dat am glorious! I tell yer, dis chile ain't no Britisher. I tole yer dar ain't no Angler Saxun blood in dese veins."
They tried to derange the public finances, discredit the faith of the government, prevent enlistment, and in every way to cripple the administration and bring it into discredit with the people. It was an unpatriotic and mischievous faction, and the great leaders of the Federalists, like Mr. Quincy and Mr. This was the contemptible Peace Party at whose headquarters Terrence Malone stood gazing.
Both of Morgianna's fathers were present; but to her real father was consigned the honor of giving away the bride. Terrence and Sukey were present. The Irishman declared the matter might have been consummated long ago if they had only left it to him. The wedding day was made a public holiday in the village. Never in all its existence was the little hamlet so gay.
Terrence brought all the pathos and eloquence which he naturally possessed to the aid of his friend and got both of them off pretty well.
"I thought you were safe in Terrence's hands," had been Dick's mock apology. "A pair of Irishmen, you know. I'd forgot Terrence was case- hardened. Do you know, after he said good night to you, he came up to me for a yarn. And he was steady as a rock. He mentioned casually of having had several sips, so I... I... never dreamed ... er... that he had indisposed you."
But the face of Clive Terrence was a study when, unannounced, Howard entered the living-room. Julia Cloud had seen him coming and quietly opened the door. Such a storm of delighted welcome as met him warmed his heart and dispelled the evil spirits that had haunted him during the week.
