14:326;0529[' ]| With this came up$5$ Lenehan to$4$ the feet of the table to$9$ say how the 14:326;0530[' ]| letter was in$4$ that$6#2$ night's gazette and he made a show to$9$ find it about him 14:326;0531[' ]| (for$3$ he swore with an oath that$3$ he had been at pains about it) but on$4$ 14:326;0532[' ]| Stephen's persuasion he gave over the search and was bidden to$9$ sit near by$4$ 14:326;0533[' ]| which$6#1$ he did mighty brisk. He was a kind of sport gentleman that$6#1$ went for$4$ 14:326;0534[' ]| a merryandrew or honest pickle and what belonged of women, horseflesh 14:326;0535[' ]| or hot scandal he had it pat. To$9$ tell the truth he was mean in$4$ fortunes and 14:326;0536[' ]| for$4$ the most part hankered about the coffeehouses and low taverns with 14:326;0537[' ]| crimps, ostlers, bookies, Paul's men, runners, flatcaps, waistcoateers, ladies 14:326;0538[' ]| of the bagnio and other rogues of the game or with a chanceable catchpole 14:326;0539[' ]| or a tipstaff often at nights till broad day of whom he picked up$5$ between his 14:326;0540[' ]| sackpossets much loose gossip. He took his ordinary at a boilingcook's and 14:326;0541[' ]| if he had but gotten into him a mess of broken victuals or a platter of tripes 14:326;0542[' ]| with a bare tester in$4$ his purse he could always bring himself off with his 14:326;0543[' ]| tongue, some randy quip he had from a punk or whatnot that$3$ every 14:326;0544[' ]| mother's son of them would burst their sides. The other, Costello that$6#2$ is, 14:326;0545[' ]| hearing this talk asked 14:326;0545[X ]| was it poetry or a tale. 14:326;0545[ZD ]| Faith, no$7$, 14:326;0545[' ]| he says, 14:326;0545[ZD ]| Frank 14:326;0546[' ]| (that$6#2$ was his name), 14:326;0545[ZD ]| it is all about Kerry cows that$6#1$ are to$9$ be butchered along 14:326;0547[ZD ]| of the plague. But they can go hang, 14:326;0547[' ]| says he with a wink, 14:326;0547[ZD ]| for$4$ me with their 14:326;0548[ZD ]| bully beef, a pox on$4$ it. There is as good fish in$4$ this tin as ever came out of it 14:326;0549[' ]| and very friendly he offered to$9$ take of some salty sprats that$6#1$ stood by$4$ which$6#1$ 14:326;0550[' ]| he had eyed wishly in$4$ the meantime and found the place which$6#1$ was indeed 14:326;0551[' ]| the chief design of his embassy as he was sharpset. 14:326;0551[V ]| \Mort aux vaches\, 14:326;0551[' ]| says 14:326;0552[' ]| Frank then in$4$ the French language that$6#1$ had been indentured to$4$ a 14:326;0553[' ]| brandyshipper that$6#1$ has a winelodge in$4$ Bordeaux and he spoke French like$4$ a 14:326;0554[' ]| gentleman too. From a child this Frank had been a donought that$3$ his 14:326;0555[' ]| father, a headborough, who$6#1$ could ill keep him to$4$ school to$9$ learn his letters 14:326;0556[' ]| and the use of the globes, matriculated at the university to$9$ study the 14:326;0557[' ]| mechanics but he took the bit between his teeth like$4$ a raw colt and was 14:326;0558[' ]| more familiar with the justiciary and the parish beadle than with his 14:326;0559[' ]| volumes. One time he would be a playactor, then a sutler or a welsher, then 14:326;0560[' ]| nought would keep him from the bearpit and the cocking main, then he was 14:326;0561[' ]| for$4$ the ocean sea or to$9$ hoof it on$4$ the roads with the romany folk, 14:326;0562[' ]| kidnapping a squire's heir by$4$ favour of moonlight or fecking maids' linen 14:326;0563[' ]| or choking chicken behind a hedge. He had been off as many times as a cat 14:326;0564[' ]| has lives and back again with naked pockets as many more to$4$ his father the 14:326;0565[' ]| headborough who$6#1$ shed a pint of tears as often as he saw him. 14:326;0565[C ]| What, 14:326;0565[' ]| says 14:326;0566[' ]| Mr*Leopold with his hands across, that$6#1$ was earnest to$9$ know the drift of it, 14:326;0567[C ]| will$1$ they slaughter all? I protest I saw them but this day morning going to$4$ 14:326;0568[C ]| the Liverpool boats, 14:326;0568[' ]| says he. 14:326;0568[C ]| I can scarce believe it is so$5#1$ bad, 14:326;0568[' ]| says he. And he 14:326;0569[' ]| had experience of the like$4$ brood beasts and of springers, greasy hoggets 14:326;0570[' ]| and wether wool, having been some years before actuary for$4$ Mr*Joseph*Cuffe, 14:326;0571[' ]| a worthy salesmaster that$6#1$ drove his trade for$4$ live stock and meadow 14:326;0572[' ]| auctions hard by$4$ Mr*Gavin*Low's yard in$4$ Prussia*street. 14:326;0572[C ]| I question with 14:326;0573[C ]| you there, 14:326;0573[' ]| says he. 14:326;0573[C ]| More like$5$ it is the hoose or the timber tongue. 14:326;0573[' ]| Mr*Stephen, 14:327;0574[' ]| a little moved but very handsomely told him 14:327;0574[X ]| no$2$ such matter and 14:327;0575[X ]| that$3$ he had dispatches from the emperor's chief tailtickler thanking him for$4$ 14:327;0576[X ]| the hospitality, that$6#1$ was sending over Doctor*Rinderpest, the bestquoted 14:327;0577[X ]| cowcatcher in$4$ all Muscovy, with a bolus or two of physic to$9$ take the bull by$4$ 14:327;0578[X ]| the horns. 14:327;0578[V ]| Come, come, 14:327;0578[' ]| says Mr*Vincent, 14:327;0578[V ]| plain dealing. He will$1$ find himself 14:327;0579[V ]| on$4$ the horns of a dilemma if he meddles with a bull that$6#1$ is Irish, 14:327;0579[' ]| says he. 14:327;0580[B ]| Irish by$4$ name and irish by$4$ nature, 14:327;0580[' ]| says Mr*Stephen, and he sent the ale 14:327;0581[' ]| purling about, 14:327;0581[B ]| an Irish bull in$4$ an English chinashop.
