"Hycy Burke," repeated Clinton, starting with surprise, "do you tell me so?" "Sartinly," replied the other, "why do you ask?" Clinton shook his head carelessly. "Well," he said, "I am glad of it; it is better late than never. Hycy Burke" he paused and looked serious a moment, "yes," he added, "I am glad of it.
"As for her being a niece of Hogan's, you know it is by his mother's side; but wouldn't it be a feather in her cap to get under the protection of a highly respectable woman, though? The patronage of a person like you, Mrs. Burke, would be the making of her my word and honor it would." "Hem! ahem! do you think so, Hycy?" "Tut, mother that indeed! can there be a doubt about it?"
"There was, your honor," replied Nanny; "it was proved, clearly enough that Phil and Ned Hogan were both dead drunk that night an' couldn't commit a robbery; an' Masther Hycy himself said that he knew how Bat spent the night, an' that of course he couldn't do it; an' you know, your honors, there was no gettin' over that. I have, or rather my father has, Bat Hogan's shoes still."
"All," replied Philip; "sich a Still, Head, and Worm, you'd not find in Europe ready to be set to work at a minute's notice." "When," said Hycy, rising, "will it be necessary that I should see you again?" "We'll let you know," replied Phats, "when we want you. Kate here can drop in, as if by accident, an' give the hand word."
She remarked, besides, that not only was Teddy Phats excluded from their councils, but she herself was sent out of the way, whenever Hycy paid them a visit, which uniformly occurred at a late hour, in the night. Another circumstance also occurred about this time which puzzled her not a little: we mean the unusual absence of Philip for about a fortnight from home.
It appears that his virtuous son Hycy tried all the various stratagems of which he is master to debauch the morals of this girl, but without success. Her virtue was incorruptible." "Ahem! get along, will you, and pass that over."
"Why, such a thing might be," proceeded Hycy, "if you have an enemy; but I think, Bryan, you are too well liked and justly so too if you will excuse me for saying so to your face to have any enemy capable of going such nefarious lengths as that." Bryan paused and seemed a good deal struck with the truth of Hycy's observation "There's raison, sure enough in what you say, Hycy," he observed.
Edward shook his head at him, as if remonstrating against this most undutiful and contemptuous style of conversation to his mother. "Don't give way to tears, my dear mother," he said; "indeed you do my father injustice; he has neither said nor done anything to turn me against Hycy. Why should he?
"If Hycy Burke was wild, Kathleen, so was many a good man before him; an' that's no raison but he may turn out well yet, an' a credit to his name, as I have no doubt he will. All that he did was only folly an' indiscretion we can't be too hard or uncharitable upon our fellow-craytures." "No," chimed in her mother, "we can't.
"One of them is to Kate or Kathleen Cavanagh, as they call her," said Hycy, in reply to her looks; "and the other for Bryan M'Mahon, who is soft and generous probatum est. I want to know if he'll stand for thirty-five and as for Kate, I'm making love to her, you must know." "Kathleen Cavanagh," replied his mother; "I'll never lend my privileges to sich match." "Match!" exclaimed Hycy, coolly.
