Garraghty! said Sir Terence; 'and, by that time, I hope we shall understand this misunderstanding better. Sir Terence pulled Lord Clonbrony's sleeve: 'Don't let him go with the money it's much wanted! 'Let him go, said Lord Colambre; 'money can be had by honourable means. 'Wheugh! He talks as if he had the Bank of England at his command, as every young man does, said Sir Terence.
"Oh, he's ruined, I see it," said Grace, putting her hand before her eyes, "and he won't mind me." "Go on, let him go on, pray, young woman," said Mr. Garraghty, pale with anger and fear, his lips quivering; "I shall be happy to take down his words." "Write them; and may all the world read it, and welcome!" His mother and wife stopped his mouth by force. "Write you, Dennis," said Mr.
Lord Colambre deigned no reply. Lord Clonbrony walked undecidedly between his agent and his son looked at Sir Terence, and said nothing. Mr. Garraghty departed; Lord Clonbrony called after him from the head of the stairs, 'I shall be at home and at leisure in the morning. Sir Terence ran downstairs after him; Lord Colambre waited quietly for their return.
He observed that the interest was created by an advertisement of several farms on the Clonbrony estate, to be set by Nicholas Garraghty, Esq. He could not help smiling at his being witness incognito to various schemes for outwitting the agents, and defrauding the landlord; but, on a sudden, the scene was changed; a boy ran in, crying out, that "St.
"Nick Garraghty, honest old Nick; do you know him, my lord?" said Sir Terence. "Too well, sir." "Mr. Garraghty, what have you done to offend my son? I did not expect this," said Lord Clonbrony. "Upon my conscience, my lord, nothing to my knowledge," said Mr.
Lord Colambre was surprised to find that his father's agent resided in Dublin: he had been used to see agents, or stewards, as they are called in England, live in the country, and usually on the estate of which they have the management. Mr. Nicholas Garraghty, however, had a handsome house in a fashionable part of Dublin.
The passengers had taken their places in the coach, and engaged what horses could be had. Lord Colambre was afraid that Mr. Garraghty was one of them; a person exactly answering his description had taken four horses, and set out half an hour before in great haste for London.
"Ah!" thought he, as he drove away from this well-regulated and flourishing place, "how happy I might be, settled here with such a wife as her of whom I must think no more." He pursued his way to Clonbrony, his father's other estate, which was at a considerable distance from Colambre: he was resolved to know what kind of agent Mr. Nicholas Garraghty might be, who was to supersede Mr.
I knew the value of the lands well enough: I was as sharp as Garraghty, and he knew it; I was to have had for your father the difference from him, partly in cash and partly in balance of accounts you comprehend and you only would have been the loser, and never would have known it, may be, till after we all were dead and buried; and then you might have set aside Garraghty's lease easy, and no harm done to any but a rogue that desarved it; and, in the mean time, an accommodation to my honest friend, my lord, your father here.
Well! as soon as I got the hint, I dropped the thing I had in my hand, which was the Dublin Evening, and ran for the bare life for there wasn't a coach in my slippers, as I was, to get into the prior creditor's shoes, who is the little solicitor that lives in Crutched Friars, which Mordicai never dreamt of, luckily; so he was very genteel, though he was taken on a sudden, and from his breakfast, which an Englishman don't like particularly I popped him a douceur of a draft, at thirty-one days, on Garraghty, the agent; of which he must get notice; but I won't descant on the law before the ladies he handed me over his debt and execution, and he made me prior creditor in a trice.
