They boiled many eggs and ate them, using their scraps of bread for plates an expedient not unknown at far earlier banquets and they scooped up water to drink out of the palms of their hands also in an old-fashioned manner. But when they had finished Thady gave a comparatively modern touch to the entertainment by lighting his pipe.
He had not absolutely heard that the men whom he was going to meet that night, and whom he knew he meant to join, intended to murder Ussher; but Brady had told him that they were determined to have a fling at him, and it was by their promise to treat the attorney in the same way, that Thady had been induced to come down to them.
He then, after much hesitation, owned that he had overheard what had taken place between Keegan and Thady in the avenue, on the day when the attorney had called at Ballycloran that he had heard the name which Keegan had applied to Feemy, and that he had seen the manner in which Thady had been struck.
She was, as she said, late; and now as she walked along she opened her papers and sorted them, hoping that she had not lost many customers, and resolving that in future Nat and Thady should not hinder her from being in good time at her post.
"Who does Dan pay his rent to?" "Why then I can't be saying." It was useless carrying on a conversation any longer with such a man. He neither interested himself about his house, his food, his landlord, or his family, and Thady again held his tongue.
Mulready's, to settle their plans of ridding the country of Ussher?" "Yes; about that and other things." "And the prisoner never kept that appointment?" "No, Mr. Thady niver went there." "Did you ever say anything to him about not going there?" "Oh, I did; we were discoursing about it." "And what did you say to him on the subject?"
Castle Rackrent, the story of an Irish estate, as told by Thady, the old steward, was first published anonymously in 1800. Its combination of Irish humour and pathos, and its illustration of the national character, first led Walter Scott to try his own skill in depicting Scottish character in the same way.
"Why not, Miles? why not? never mind what Thady said or Father John. What does it signify? you'll be soon away from them. I'll never treat you that way, my own Myles I'd put up with more than that for you I wouldn't mind what the world might say to me I'd bear anything for you!" "I tell you, Feemy, there are reasons why I couldn't be married before I get to Cashel.
Then you must go across to the door of the hotel and keep a look out for Thady Gallagher. If he tries to make any sort of disturbance quell him at once." "I'm willing to try," said Father McCormack, "and so far as Mary Ellen is concerned I'm right enough. She's a good girl, and she'll do as I bid her. But it'd take more than me to pacify Thady when he hears the band."
Feemy, however, had not forgotten her resolution, and was bringing up all her courage to make some gentle hint to Myles on the subject on which she had promised Father John to speak to him, when her heart sunk within her, on hearing her brother's voice calling to her from behind. "Good heaven, Myles, there's Thady! what can he be wanting here?"
