"It's very strange," observed Hycy, "that such a robbery could be committed in a house where there are so many servants, without any clue whatsoever to a discovery." "Well, I don't agree with you there, Mr. Hycy if what your father and mother an' all o' them say is true that it wasn't often the hall-door was bolted at night; and that they can't say whether it was fastened on that night or not.
"We are sensible of it all," replied the other; "here," said he, pulling out his pocket-book, "are three notes for one hundred each." "Give me two fifties," said Hycy, "instead of this third note, and you will oblige me. By the way, here is the major." With this the other immediately complied, without the major having been in any way cognizant of the transaction.
"One at least on a fair subject," observed Clinton. "Very well said, Mr. Clinton," replied the schoolmaster, with a grin "there goes wit for us, no less and originality besides. See what it is to have a great janius! ha! ha! ha!" "Well, Mr. O'Finigan," pursued Hycy, "but about the ladies? You have not given us your opinion."
"That's enough, Masther Hycy; when the grave spakes about it so will I." Peety took the letters and disappeared with an air rendered important by the trust reposed in him; whilst Mrs. Burke looked inquiringly at her son, as if her curiosity were a good deal excited.
Joy has its tears as well as grief, I believe, and it is often rather difficult, under a blessing so completely disguised as the death of a wi of one's matrimonial partner, to restrain them. Come then, be a man. There is Mr. Hycy Burke, a tender-hearted young gentleman, and if you go on this way you will have him weeping' for sheer sympathy, not pretermitting Mr.
"It's no matther; there's them livin' could make you afeard, an' maybe will, too, if you injure that boy." "I'd just knock him on the head," replied the ferocious ruffian, "as soon as I would a mad dog." "Whisht," said Phats, "here's Hycy; don't you hear his foot?" Hycy entered in a few moments afterwards, and, after the usual greetings, sat down by the fire.
"Don't ask me, mother, to give anything in the way of encouragement to Hycy Burke; don't ask me, I entrate you, for God's sake the thing's impossible, and I couldn't do it. I have no wish for his father's money, nor any wish for the poor grandeur that you, mother dear, and my father, seem to set your heart upon.
One morning, a few days after Hycy's rejection by Miss Clinton, they were all at breakfast, "the accomplished" being in one of his musical and polite moods, his father bland but sarcastic, and Edward in a state of actual pain on witnessing the wilful disrespect or rather contempt that was implied by Hycy towards his parents.
"If you wish I shall fetch you the letter," said Hycy, "as you have an objection I suppose to go out until the town is empty." "Thank you, Hycy, I'll feel obliged to you if you do; and Hycy, by the way, I am sorry that you and I ever mistook or misunderstood one another; but sich things happen to the best of friends, and why should we hope to escape?"
Hycy, on entering the parlor, found him! seated in an arm-chair, smoking as usual, whilst his mother, who soon came down stairs, appeared dressed in more than her usual finery. "What keeps Patsy Dolan wid the car?" she inquired. "Hycy, do you see any appearance of him?" "No, ma'am," replied the son; "I didn't know you wanted him."
