The arrest and imprisonment of Reilly had removed the great impediment that had hitherto lain in the way of his marriage; but not so the imprisonment of the Red Rapparee.
Faith, Randal, it's about your neck it'll go, and you'll put out your tongue at the daicent people that will attend your own funeral yet that is, if you don't let us off." "Put them both to their knees," said the Rapparee in a voice of thunder, "to their knees with them. I'll take the masther, and, Kineely, do you take the man."
I think, by the way, I should go and apologize to both the marquis and the Abbe, and throw the blame of my own violence upon the conduct and instructions of the last Government; that, and the giving up of this ruffianly Rapparee to the present, may do something for me. This country, however, now that matters have taken such an unexpected turn, shall not long be my place of residence.
This was an experiment, though a hazardous one, as we have said; but so far it was successful. In the course of half an hour the Red Rapparee came in, dressed in his uniform. On looking about him he exclaimed, with an oath, "Who the hell is here?" "Why," replied Mary Mahon, "a poor ould man that axed for charity an' lodgin' for the night." "And why did you give it to him?"
"Well, at all events," observed the Rapparee, "if he did beat me, he's the only man in the country able to do it; but it's not over, curse him Ill have another trial with him yet." "If you take my advice," replied Reilly, "you'll neither make nor meddle with him.
The Red Rapparee then had his gun in his hand, and was in the very act of adjusting it to his shoulder, when a powerful young man sprung forward, and dashing it aside, exclaimed: "What is this, Randal? Is it a double murder you are about to execute, you inhuman ruffian?" The Rapparee glared at him, but with a quailing and subdued, yet sullen and vindictive, expression.
"Steen," said the baronet, "what or who do you suppose this ragged ruffian was?" "Either a Rapparee, sir, or Reilly himself." "O'Donnel," said he, addressing the Red Robber, "what description of disguises do these villains usually assume? Do they often go about as beggarmen?"
Let them vindicate themselves against thieves and robbers and murderers, with as much vigilance and energy as they do against the harmless forms of religion and the rights of conscience, and the country will soon be free from such licentious pests as the Red Rapparee and his gang." "You speak warmly, Mr. Reilly." "Yes," replied Keilly, "I am warm, I am indignant at my degradation.
Ginkell knew little of the laws and feelings of the English; but he had about him persons who were competent to direct him. They had a week before prevented him from breaking a Rapparee on the wheel; and they now suggested an answer to the propositions of the enemy.
His estate is strictly entailed, and he has been always an embarrassed man. This rapparee promised him mountains of wealth, and an English company was found to advance large sums of money I fear on Sir Arthur's guarantee.
