"Ay, but his father," continued the innocent girl; "to break into the house at night an' rob him like a robber!" "Well, I say, it's reported that he has been robbin' him these three years in one shape or other," continued Art; "but here's Shibby, let's hear what she'll say. What do you think, shibby?" "About what, Art?" "That Hycy Burke would rob his father!" "Hut, tut!
I'm sure you love me, an' I know it is because you do that you spake in this way; but I know, too, that you wouldn't make me unhappy and miserable for the wealth of the world, much less for Hycy Burke's share of it. There's a kiss for you, and good-night! there's another for you, father; God bless you! and good-night, too. Come, Hanna darling, come!" In this state matters rested for some time.
Now, uncle, there is one thing I should wish in connection with that transaction, which is, that you would have no underhand hem! no private understanding of any kind with Mr. Hycy Burke." "Me a private understanding with Hycy Burke! What in the devil's name has put such a crotchet as that into your head?"
Hycy Disclaims Sobriety Ahadarra's in for it. One day about a month after Mrs. M'Mahon's funeral, Harry Clinton was on his way to Jemmy Burke's, when he met Nanny Peety going towards Ballymacan. "Well, Nanny," he inquired, "where are you bound for, now?" "To the post-office with a letter from Masther Hycy, sir. I wanted him to tell me who it was for, but he would not. Will you, Mr.
"Beautiful rebuke," said Hycy, again staring at him; "why, Masther Edward, you are a prodigy of wonderful sense and unspotted virtue; love has made you eloquent "'I gaed a waefu' gate yestreen, A gate, I fear, I'll dearly rue, I gat my death frae twa sweet e'en, Twa lovely e'en o' bonnie blue, &c, &c."
"What a probable story!" exclaimed Hycy; "and you kept it to yourself, like an honest girl as you are, until now!" "Why, Mr. Burke," said Vanston, quickly and rather sharply, "surely you can have no motive in impugning her evidence upon that subject?"
"Certainly," replied Hycy, "if you think so, I cannot blame you; but I see clearly that you misunderstand my character that is all." They separated in a few minutes afterwards, and Hycy in a very serious and irritable mood rode homewards. In truth his prospects at this peculiar period were anything but agreeable.
Move on, now and overtake your friend by the way he's a fine horseman, they say?" "Very few better," said Hycy; "but some there are and one I know ha! ha! ha! Good-bye, Bryan, and don't be made a fool of for nothing." Bryan nodded and laughed, and Hycy dashed on to overtake his friend Clinton.
We stated at the time that Hycy Burke and the Hogans, together with a strange man and woman, were embarked in some mysterious proceedings from which both Kate Hogan and Teddy Phats had been excluded. For some time, both before and after that night, there had been, on the other hand, a good, deal of mysterious communication between several of our other characters.
"I am sure, Finigan," proceeded Hycy, "that you are too honorable a man to breathe either to Bryan M'Mahon or any one else, a single syllable of the conversation which you overheard merely by accident. I say I am certain you will never let it transpire, either by word of mouth or writing.
