"The remedye agayns Ire is a vertu that men clepen Mansuetude, that is Debonairetee; and eek another vertu, that men callen Patience or Suffrance. . . . This vertu disconfiteth thyn enemy.
There's been credit given and debts paid by both of us since the hour when we first met; and it needs thinking to tell which is the debtor now, for deeds are hard to reckon; but, before God, I believe it's meself;" and he turned and looked fondly at Mary Callen.
Is there a Mary Callen dead, and a Mary Callen livin'? and did both of them love a man that went from Farcalladen Rise one wild night long ago? "'There's but one Mary Callen, said I, 'but the heart of me is dead, until I hear news that brings it to life again? "'And no man calls you wife? he asked.
The woman believing, at a painful time, that he who came back was about to take Shon's life, fired at him, and wounded him, and then killed herself." Mary Callen raised herself upon her elbow, and looked at the priest in piteous bewilderment. "It is dreadful," she said.... "Poor woman!... And he had forgotten forgotten me. I was dead to him, and am dead to him now.
Well, I have said that I should never be sent to gaol, and I never shall; but I do not wish to die at this moment, and I do not wish to fight. What is there left?" "How do you come here, Pierre?" He lifted his eyes heavily to Mary Callen, and she told Father Corraine what had been told her.
As for the other, you say that Father Corraine's threshold is his own, and at his own command. His home is now a sanctuary for the afflicted." He went towards the door.

He tapped the wound lightly, and said with irony: "This is my note of hand for my debt, Shon McGann. Eh, bien!" Then he tossed his fingers indolently towards Shon, and turning his eyes slowly to Mary Callen, raised his hat in good-bye. She put out her hand impulsively to him, but Pierre, shaking his head, looked away. Shon put his hand gently on her arm.

And some men trowen, that half the cros, that Crist was don on, be in Cipres, in an abbey of monkes, that men callen the Hille of the Holy Cros; but it is not so: for that cros, that is in Cypre, is the cros, in the whiche Dysmas the gode theef was honged onne. But alle men knowen not that; and that is evylle y don.
He stopped me as I walked, and said a kind good-day to me; and I knew when I looked into his face that he had word for me the whisperin' of some angel, I suppose, and I said to him as though he had asked me for it, 'My name is Mary Callen, sir. "At that he started, and the colour came quick to his face; and he said: 'I am Sir Duke Lawless. I come to look for Mary Callen's grave.
During these words Shon's face ran white, then red; and now he stepped inside the door like one in a dream, and the girl's face was lifted to his as though he had called her. "Mary Mary Callen!" he cried.
