As
he
walked
on
he
preconsidered
the
terms
in
which
he
would
narrate
the
incident
to
the
boys
:
"
So
,
I
just
looked
at
him
--
coolly
,
you
know
,
and
looked
at
her
.
Then
I
looked
back
at
him
again
--
taking
my
time
,
you
know
.
'
I
do
n't
think
that
that
's
a
fair
question
to
put
to
me
,
'
says
I.
"
Nosey
Flynn
was
sitting
up
in
his
usual
corner
of
Davy
Byrne
's
and
,
when
he
heard
the
story
,
he
stood
Farrington
a
half-one
,
saying
it
was
as
smart
a
thing
as
ever
he
heard
.
Farrington
stood
a
drink
in
his
turn
.
After
a
while
O'Halloran
and
Paddy
Leonard
came
in
and
the
story
was
repeated
to
them
.
O'Halloran
stood
tailors
of
malt
,
hot
,
all
round
and
told
the
story
of
the
retort
he
had
made
to
the
chief
clerk
when
he
was
in
Callan
's
of
Fownes
's
Street
;
but
,
as
the
retort
was
after
the
manner
of
the
liberal
shepherds
in
the
eclogues
,
he
had
to
admit
that
it
was
not
as
clever
as
Farrington
's
retort
.
At
this
Farrington
told
the
boys
to
polish
off
that
and
have
another
.
Just
as
they
were
naming
their
poisons
who
should
come
in
but
Higgins
!
Of
course
he
had
to
join
in
with
the
others
.
The
men
asked
him
to
give
his
version
of
it
,
and
he
did
so
with
great
vivacity
for
the
sight
of
five
small
hot
whiskies
was
very
exhilarating
.
Everyone
roared
laughing
when
he
showed
the
way
in
which
Mr.
Alleyne
shook
his
fist
in
Farrington
's
face
.
Then
he
imitated
Farrington
,
saying
,
"
And
here
was
my
nabs
,
as
cool
as
you
please
,
"
while
Farrington
looked
at
the
company
out
of
his
heavy
dirty
eyes
,
smiling
and
at
times
drawing
forth
stray
drops
of
liquor
from
his
moustache
with
the
aid
of
his
lower
lip
.
When
that
round
was
over
there
was
a
pause
.
O'Halloran
had
money
but
neither
of
the
other
two
seemed
to
have
any
;
so
the
whole
party
left
the
shop
somewhat
regretfully
.
At
the
corner
of
Duke
Street
Higgins
and
Nosey
Flynn
bevelled
off
to
the
left
while
the
other
three
turned
back
towards
the
city
.
Rain
was
drizzling
down
on
the
cold
streets
and
,
when
they
reached
the
Ballast
Office
,
Farrington
suggested
the
Scotch
House
.
The
bar
was
full
of
men
and
loud
with
the
noise
of
tongues
and
glasses
.
The
three
men
pushed
past
the
whining
matchsellers
at
the
door
and
formed
a
little
party
at
the
corner
of
the
counter
.
They
began
to
exchange
stories
.
Leonard
introduced
them
to
a
young
fellow
named
Weathers
who
was
performing
at
the
Tivoli
as
an
acrobat
and
knockabout
artiste
.
Farrington
stood
a
drink
all
round
.
Weathers
said
he
would
take
a
small
Irish
and
Apollinaris
.
Farrington
,
who
had
definite
notions
of
what
was
what
,
asked
the
boys
would
they
have
an
Apollinaris
too
;
but
the
boys
told
Tim
to
make
theirs
hot
.
The
talk
became
theatrical
.
O'Halloran
stood
a
round
and
then
Farrington
stood
another
round
,
Weathers
protesting
that
the
hospitality
was
too
Irish
.
He
promised
to
get
them
in
behind
the
scenes
and
introduce
them
to
some
nice
girls
.
O'Halloran
said
that
he
and
Leonard
would
go
,
but
that
Farrington
would
n't
go
because
he
was
a
married
man
;
and
Farrington
's
heavy
dirty
eyes
leered
at
the
company
in
token
that
he
understood
he
was
being
chaffed
.
Weathers
made
them
all
have
just
one
little
tincture
at
his
expense
and
promised
to
meet
them
later
on
at
Mulligan
's
in
Poolbeg
Street
.
When
the
Scotch
House
closed
they
went
round
to
Mulligan
's
.
They
went
into
the
parlour
at
the
back
and
O'Halloran
ordered
small
hot
specials
all
round
.
They
were
all
beginning
to
feel
mellow
.
Farrington
was
just
standing
another
round
when
Weathers
came
back
.
Much
to
Farrington
's
relief
he
drank
a
glass
of
bitter
this
time
.
Funds
were
getting
low
but
they
had
enough
to
keep
them
going
.
Presently
two
young
women
with
big
hats
and
a
young
man
in
a
check
suit
came
in
and
sat
at
a
table
close
by
.
Weathers
saluted
them
and
told
the
company
that
they
were
out
of
the
Tivoli
.
Farrington
's
eyes
wandered
at
every
moment
in
the
direction
of
one
of
the
young
women
.
There
was
something
striking
in
her
appearance
.
An
immense
scarf
of
peacock-blue
muslin
was
wound
round
her
hat
and
knotted
in
a
great
bow
under
her
chin
;
and
she
wore
bright
yellow
gloves
,
reaching
to
the
elbow
.
Farrington
gazed
admiringly
at
the
plump
arm
which
she
moved
very
often
and
with
much
grace
;
and
when
,
after
a
little
time
,
she
answered
his
gaze
he
admired
still
more
her
large
dark
brown
eyes
.
The
oblique
staring
expression
in
them
fascinated
him
.
She
glanced
at
him
once
or
twice
and
,
when
the
party
was
leaving
the
room
,
she
brushed
against
his
chair
and
said
"
O
,
pardon
!
"
in
a
London
accent
.
He
watched
her
leave
the
room
in
the
hope
that
she
would
look
back
at
him
,
but
he
was
disappointed
.
He
cursed
his
want
of
money
and
cursed
all
the
rounds
he
had
stood
,
particularly
all
the
whiskies
and
Apolinaris
which
he
had
stood
to
Weathers
.
If
there
was
one
thing
that
he
hated
it
was
a
sponge
.
He
was
so
angry
that
he
lost
count
of
the
conversation
of
his
friends
.
When
Paddy
Leonard
called
him
he
found
that
they
were
talking
about
feats
of
strength
.
Weathers
was
showing
his
biceps
muscle
to
the
company
and
boasting
so
much
that
the
other
two
had
called
on
Farrington
to
uphold
the
national
honour
.
Farrington
pulled
up
his
sleeve
accordingly
and
showed
his
biceps
muscle
to
the
company
.
The
two
arms
were
examined
and
compared
and
finally
it
was
agreed
to
have
a
trial
of
strength
.
The
table
was
cleared
and
the
two
men
rested
their
elbows
on
it
,
clasping
hands
.
When
Paddy
Leonard
said
"
Go
!
"
each
was
to
try
to
bring
down
the
other
's
hand
on
to
the
table
.
Farrington
looked
very
serious
and
determined
.
