^ An Irish term, descriptive of the mode which a landlord takes to enforce payment from a tenant.
Digitized by Google THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD, 167 But as to myself, I disregarded the utmost stretch of his malevolence : he had already struck the blow, and now I stood prepared to repel every new effort; like one of those instruments used in the art of war, which, however thrown, still presents a point to re- ceive the enemy.
We soon, however, found that he had not threat- ened in vain ; for the ve...ry next day his steward came to demand my annual rent, which, by the train of accidents already related, I was unable to pay. The consequence of my incapacity was his driving my cattle that evening, and their being appraised and sold the next day for less than half their value. My wife and children now therefore entreated me to com^ ply upon any terms, rather than incur certain destruc- tion. They even begged of me to admit his visits once more, and used all their little eloquence to paint the calamities I was going to endure ; the terrors of a prison in so rigorous a season as the present, with the danger that threatened my health from the late accident that happened by the fire.
