They think everybody that comes is come about an arrangement." "Oh, then, they all want it arranged!" "No; not all, but many of them do.

Some of them like it well enough going about like gentlemen with nothing to do, only their hands in their pockets." We turned out of the highway here and passed some very pretty cottages.
"No, they're not for labourers, your honour," said my jarvey; "the estate built them for mechanics.

It's the tenants look after the labourers, and little it is they do for them." Then, pointing to a ridge of hills beyond us, he said: "It was Kilbride's father, sir, evicted seventeen tenants on these hills--poor labouring men, with their families, many years ago,--and now he's evicted himself, and a Member of Parliament!" Father Maher's house stands well off from the highway.

He was not at home, being "away at a service in the hills," but would be back before two o'clock.

I left my name for him, with a memorandum of my purpose in calling, and we drove on to see the bailiff of the estate, Mr.Hind.
