"As to that," replied the other, smiling, "we'll keep never minding but you have spoken fairly and honestly on the subject of the letther, an' I'm thankful to you; still, Hycy, you haven't answered my first question have you any ill feeling against me, or any intention to injure me?" "Neither one nor the other.
"Why, the gallows, sir ha! ha! ha! but don't forget the O if you plaise ever and always the big O before Finigan ha! ha! ha!" "Come, Clinton," said Hycy, "move on a little. D n that fellow!" he cried "he's a sneering scoundrel; and I'm half inclined to think he has more in him than one would be apt to give him credit for." "By the way, what could the visit to Ahadarra mean?" asked Clinton.
O'Finigan," continued Hycy, "if not inconvenient, I should wish to speak a few words with you." "No inconvenience in the world, Mr. Burke; I am always disposed to oblige my friends whenever I can do so wid propriety. My advice, sir, my friendship, and my purse, are always at their service. My advice to guide them my friendship to sustain and my purse hem! ha, ha, ha I think.
Propino tibi, again and do not fear that ever revelation of mine shall facilitate any catastrophe that may await you." Hycy looked keenly into the schoolmaster's face as he uttered the last observation; but in the maudlin and collapsed features then before him he could read nothing that intimated the sagacity of a double meaning.
Having discussed the grog and ham, the conversation went on. "Hycy," proceeded his companion, "with respect to that foolish arrangement or bargain we made the other night, I won't have anything to say or do in it. You shall impoverish or ruin no honest man on my account. I was half drunk or whole drunk, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to such a proposal."
Harry Clinton, now aware that the anonymous letter which his uncle had received that morning was the production of Hycy, resolved to watch the gauger's motions very closely.
His brother Edward had now been brought home in accordance with the expressed determination of his father, with whom he was, unquestionably, a manifest favorite, a circumstance which caused Hycy to detest him, and also deprived him in a great degree of his mother's affection.
"An' why don't you like him?" asked her mother. "Where is there his aquil for either face or figure in the parish, or the barony itself? But I know the cause of it; you could dance with Bryan M'Mahon. But take this with you sorra ring ever Bryan M'Mahon will put on you wid my consent or your father's, while there's any hope of Hycy Burke at any rate."
"I certainly have a right to know," returned Hycy; "but as the matter is false, and every way unfounded, I'll not press you upon it all I can say to satisfy you is, what I have said already that I entertain no ill will or unfriendly feeling towards you, and, consequently, can have no earthly intention of doing you an injury even if I could, although at the present moment I don't see how, even if I was willing."
"Well, upon my word and honor, mother," said the aforesaid Hycy, who knew and played upon his mother's weak points, "it is a sad thing to see such a woman as you are, married to a man who has neither the spirit nor feelings of a gentleman my word and honor it is." "I feel that, Hycy, but there's no help for spilt milk; we must only make the best of a bad bargain.
