'And what's happened what's the neighbours lookin' after? said Toole, as his own glance followed the general direction, so soon as he had dismounted. ''Twas a coach that had driven through the town, at a thundering pace, with some men inside, from the Knockmaroon direction, and a lady that was screeching.
Talking thus, they reached the Mills by the river side, not far from Knockmaroon. On learning that Toole was about making a call there, Lowe gave his bridle to a little Chapelizod ragamuffin, and, dismounting, accompanied the doctor. Mrs. Nutter was in her bed.
His finger leaped and struck point after point, vibrating. T is viceregal lodge. C is where murder took place. K is Knockmaroon gate. The loose flesh of his neck shook like a cock's wattles. An illstarched dicky jutted up and with a rude gesture he thrust it back into his waistcoat. Hello? Evening Telegraph here... Hello?... Who's there?... Yes... Yes... Yes.
So he came home privily by the Knockmaroon Park-gate. Poor little Sally rose into a sort of heroine. With a wild cry, and 'Oh, Charlie! she threw her arms about his neck; and the 'good little crayture, as Magnolia was wont to call her, had fainted.

It was plain he was playing the frank, good fellow, and aiming at popularity.
I was under necessity, as you shall hear, to visit Chapelizod.
