Bob, escorted by his Catholic friends, who shouted and huzza'd as they went along, proceeded to Father M'Cabe's; whilst Darby and his adherents, following their example, went towards M'Clutchy's, and having left him within sight of Constitution Cottage, they returned to their labor. We have already said, that neither M'Clutchy nor M'Slime was at all a favorite with Darby.
Bob, then, was an especial protege of Father M'Cabe's, who, on his part, had very little to complain of his convert, unless it might be the difficulty of overcoming a habit of strong swearing which had brought itself so closely into his conversation, that he must either remain altogether silent, or let fly the oaths.
Now, it so happened, that on the day in question, Bob was wending his way to Father M'Cabe's, to communicate some matter connected with his religious feelings, and to ask his advice and opinion. "How confoundedly blind the world is," thought Bob, "not to see that Popery " he never called it anything else "is the true faith! Curse me but Priest M'Cabe is a famous fellow!
Be this as it may, however, we are bound to say that Darby deserved much more at M'Cabe's hands than either that Rev. gentleman was aware of then, or our readers now. The truth was, that no sooner had M'Slime's paragraph touching Darby's conversion gone abroad, than he became highly unpopular among the Catholics of the parish.
"What has happened your face? you are sadly abused!" "A small taste o' parsecution, sir, which the Lord put into Father M'Cabe's horsewhip heart I mane to give me, bekaise I renounced his hathenism, and came into the light o' thruth may He be praised for it!" Here followed an upturning of the eyes after the manner of M'Slime.
Lucre to the priest haughtily, "that he would have died an idolater." Bob squeezed Mr. Lucre's hand again. "And you thought," replied Father M'Cabe, "that he would die a Protestant or a heretic, which is the same thing." Bob squeezed Father M'Cabe's hand once more. "Gentlemen," said Bob, "be pleased to sit down you are both Christian ministers, I hope."
