CHAPTER XV
5/27

And if I had, what's that to you if Sir Thomas chooses to see me?
I hain't hintruding, I suppose." "You've been down at Kanturk before--once or twice; for I have seen you." "And supposing I've been there ten or twelve times,--what is there in that ?" said Aby.
Mr.Somers still held the horse's head, and stood a moment considering.
"I'll thank you to let go my 'oss," said Aby raising his whip and shaking the reins.
"What do you say your name is ?" asked Mr.Somers.
"I didn't say my name was anything yet.

I hain't ashamed of it, however, nor hasn't hany cause to be.

That's my name, and if you'll send my card in to Sir Thomas, with my compliments, and say that hi've three words to say to him very particular; why hi'll be obliged to you." And then Mr.Mollett handed Mr.Somers his card.
"Mollett!" said Mr.Somers very unceremoniously.

"Mollett, Mollett.
Do you know the name, Herbert ?" Herbert said that he did not.
"It's about business I suppose ?" asked Mr.Somers.
"Yes," said Aby; "private business; very particular." "The same that brought your father here;" and Mr.Somers again looked into his face with a close scrutiny.
Aby was abashed, and for a moment or two he did not answer.

"Well, then; it is the same business," he said at last.
