Show me your hand, sir, and I'll tell you the truth." "It doesn't matter," said Woodward, addressing Caterine, "I shall hear what you both have to say but you first." He accordingly crossed her hand with a piece of silver, after which she looked closely into it then upon his countenance, and said, "You have two things in your mind, and they'll both succeed."
Faith and you're just in luck after this mornin's skirmish skirmish! no bedad, but a field day itself; the masther could refuse him nothing. Will I say what you want him for?" "You may or you may not; but, on second thoughts, I think it will be enough to say simply that I wish to spake to him particularly." "Very well, Caterine," replied Barney, "I'll tell him so."
"And my sweet misthress's son," returned Barney, significantly. "Why, Caterine, I hope you won't lift me till I fall. What did I say disrespectful of him?
Being nervous, restless, and depressed, she was just in the very frame of mind to receive such an impression as might be deeply prejudicial to the ease of her heart perhaps her happiness, and consequently her health. "What is it that you think I should know, Caterine?" Caterine, who looked about her furtively, as if to satisfy herself that there was no one present but themselves, said,
Is not Caterine Collins, the fortune-teller a niece of yours?" "She is, sir." "Where and when could I see her? but mark me, I don't wish to be seen speaking to her in public."
He beckoned her to the lobby, where, in a low, guarded voice, the following conversation took place between them: "Caterine, have you not a niece that sings well? Barney Casey mentioned her to me as possessing a fine voice." "As sweet a voice, sir, as ever came from a woman's lips; but the poor thing is delicate and sickly, and I'm afeard not long for this world."
"Did you remark that they're of different colors? that one of them is as black as the devil's, and the other a gray?" "I never observed that," replied Alice, who really never had. "Yes, and I could tell you more than that about him," proceeded Caterine; "they say he's connected wid what's not good.
"Well," she proceeded, "in spite of all you tell me I say that it does not make your danger the less. It is not your brother but yourself that he suspects, and whether right or wrong, it is upon you that his vengeance will fall." "Well, but, Caterine," he replied, "could you not see Shawn-na-Middogue, and remedy that?" "How, sir?" she replied.
"I shall find him out," replied Woodward, "and sound him, at all events, and I think through Caterine Collins I may possibly secure him; but we must be cautious. Good-by; I wish you success!" After which he passed through the crowd, exclaiming, "A wonderful man an astonishing man and a fearful man; that is if he be a man, which I very much doubt."
The Evil Spirit I spoke of, the Shan-dhinne-dhuv, and he have been often seen together; but no matter for that; he'll find the same spirit badly able to protect him; so, as I said before, he must be left to my vengeance." "You mentioned Caterine Collins?" said one of them. "Caterine has friends here, Shawn. What is your opinion of her?"
