"And the way that the place is kept reflects the very highest credit upon yourself." Moreover, both compliments were as true as they were frank. "Dacent enough for them that's niver been used till betther. There's a dale in how a body's rairt." "True, Mrs. O'Halloran," I sighed. "I'm sure you must feel it. But, my word! you can grow the right sort of children here! How old is the little girl?"
"No water to signify," said the mate, as Billy Widgeon and Small baled hard till their dippers scraped the bottom without success. The captain did not speak, but pressed his wife's hand, while for the first time Mrs O'Halloran displayed emotion by taking her half-numbed child to her breast, and sobbing aloud.
"The poor fellow was done up before we started." "Will will he die?" faltered Mark. "No, no," said the major's wife, "I've often seen men fall out of the ranks exhausted like this by hot marches in India." "But what is to be done?" "Help me," said Mrs O'Halloran. "That's it, get your arm well under his, close to the shoulder. Now together."
"It is a very gallant attempt, Captain O'Halloran although, of course, I should not have permitted it to be made, had I been aware of his intentions." "Nor should I, sir," Captain O'Halloran said. "My wife is, naturally, very much upset." "That is natural enough," the governor said. "Still, she has every reason to be proud of her brother.
Get Henderson out and help us to get safely from the country whose reputation you black-eye so cheerfully." "Mercy of Hiven! Bring me the moon and a handful of stars, says he, as cool as you please." The ranger told the story of Henderson and Mackenzie's lost child in such a way that it lost nothing in the telling. O'Halloran was moved.
Count O'Halloran turned from him to Lord Colambre, who had just got happily to the burial-place of the Nugents, when Lady Dashfort, coming between them, and spying the title of the chapter, exclaimed, "What have you there? Antiquities! my delight! but I never look at engravings when I can see realities."
The captain, by his successful voyages, had been able to save a sufficient sum to live in comfort, with a handmaiden, Biddy O'Halloran, to attend on him and his daughter, and a gessoon to look after the cows and pigs and to work in the garden.
Rory's next duty was to chop up a bit of firewood, and stack it beside the door. Dusk was gathering by this time; and Mrs. O'Halloran called Mary to prepare her for the night, while Rory and I seated ourselves on the bucket-stool outside. Presently a lighted lamp was placed on the table, when we removed indoors.
How can you be so ridiculous?" The doctor removed his spectacles. "Now, Mrs. O'Halloran," he said, with a strong brogue. "Do you call that acting fairly by me?
It is a busy time we shall have of it, for the next month or two." There were many officers in the anteroom when they entered. "Any fresh news?" Captain O'Halloran asked. "Lots of it, O'Halloran. All the Irish officers of the garrison are to be formed into an outlying force, to occupy the neutral ground. It is thought their appearance will be sufficient to terrify the Spaniards."
