Put on your hat, and come with me. In half an hour I guarantee that you shall stand in the presence of Shamrock Jolnes." I entered a cab with Avery Knight. I did not hear his instructions to the driver, but the vehicle set out at a smart pace up Broadway, turning presently into Fifth Avenue, and proceeding northward again.
You discharge your poor dull apprentice the moment you find a clever one! 'And why not? I never was able to teach thee anything. 'Ah, Ned, there you are unkind indeed! said lady Margaret, with something in her voice that suggested the water-springs were swelling. 'My shamrock of four! said her husband in the tenderest tone, 'I but jested with thee.
Maginnis's dancing saloon, Shamrock Hall, the same which Bat Jarvis had been called in to protect in the days before the Groome Street gang began to be. Shamrock Hall, being under the eyes of the great Bat, was, of course, forbidden ground; and it was with no intention of spoiling the harmony of the evening that Mr. Dawson had looked in. He was there in a purely private and peaceful character.
We have no news or events; we live very happily here. On Friday last, being St. Patrick's Day, there were great doings here, and not drunken doings, not drowning the shamrock in whisky, but honouring the shamrock with temperance rejoicings and music, that maketh the heart glad without making the head giddy or raising the hand against law or fellow-creatures.
On the armies of Wrong their revenge to requite; The strength of Oppression they boldly are braving And at last they will conquer, resistless in might! Oh, God! what a glorious wreath then appearing Will blend every leaf in the banner they're bearing The olive of Greece and the shamrock of Erin, And the oak-bough of Germany, greenest in light! Freedom and Right!
It contained the badges of the new society. Kathleen had decided that they were to call themselves "The Wild Irish Girls," and this title was neatly engraved on the little badges, which were of the shape of hearts. Below the name was the device a harp with a bit of shamrock trailing round it. The badges were small and exceedingly neat, and there were about sixty of them in all.
Patrick's Day, when there is much "wearing of the green" and questioning as to what plant is "the real shamrock." This matter has become so involved and developed by wild enthusiasm, ignorance, and false sentiment that it is difficult to deal with it. A distinguished Irishman once showed me the "shamrock" he was wearing in his buttonhole as "the true" plant of that name.
"You can have this for security. If you'll give me your card I'll send the money to-morrow, and I'll trust you to send back the bangle." I held it out to him: a thin band of gold with a four-leaved shamrock made of emeralds a present from Tony, which he had implored me to keep in memory of our "friendship".
Blessed be Sargent, Ahrens, and the Dubois brothers, who invented the cloud-breakers of the world whereby we travel in security! "Are you going to lift for The Shamrock?" asks Captain Hodgson. Captain Purnall nods. There is heavy traffic hereabouts the cloud-bank beneath us is streaked with running fissures of flame where the Atlantic boats are hurrying Londonward just clear of the fluff.
Unfortunately I left the place early in May, and I have heard nothing since about that Union Jack. I suppose it failed in some way. If it had succeeded, some one would have told me about it. A fellow-countryman of mine designed a shamrock in blue lobelia. The medical Red Cross looked well in geraniums imported from England at great expense.
