"Yes," observed another, "she has friends here; but, then, she has enemies too, men who have a good right to hate the ground she walks on." "Whatever my opinion of Caterine Collins may be," said Shawn, "I will keep it to myself; I only say, that the man who injures her is no friend of mine. Isn't she a woman? And, surely, we are not to quarrel with, or injure a defenceless woman."
Miss Alice, sure it's well known he has the Evil Eye; it's in the family upon his mother's side." "My God!" exclaimed Alice, who became instantly as pale as death, "if that be true, Caterine, it's shocking." "True," replied Caterine; "did you never I observe his eyes?" "Not particularly."
"Before you go let me ask if you know a vagabond called Ranting Rody, who goes about through the country living no one knows how?" "No, I do not know him; what is he?" "He's nothing except a paramour of Caterine Collins's, who, you know, is a rival of ours; nobody here knows anything about him, whilst he, it appears, knows every one and everything."
She herself disclosed to them the fearful intelligence which had been communicated to her in such a friendly spirit by Caterine Collins, to wit, that Harry Woodward possessed the terrible power of the Evil Eye, and that she felt he was attempting to kill her by it; adding, that from the state of her mind and health she feared he had succeeded, and that certainly, if he were permitted to continue his visits, she knew that she could not long survive.

"Well," replied Caterine, "that is just like you, Shawn; and it is no wonder that the women were fond of you."
But Shawn, who knew Caterine and her connections well, recommended Michael Casey to apprise his brother that he could not keep too sharp an eye upon the movements of both, but, above all things, to try and induce him to set Woodward in such a way that he could repair the blow upon him, which, in mistake, he had dealt to his innocent brother.

Greatrakes took down the name of Caterine Collins, and after having arranged the hour at which Barney was to conduct him to Sol Donnel's hut, they separated.

"It is not, Caterine," replied Alice, uttering the disavowal with a good deal of earnestness; "there is no truth whatsoever in it; nothing can be more false and groundless I wonder how such a rumor could have got abroad; it certainly could not proceed from Mr. Woodward."
"Could she imitate a Banshee, do you think?" "If ever woman could, she could. There's not her aquil at the keene, or Irish cry, livin'; she's the only one can bate myself at it." "Well, Caterine, if you get her to go to Mr. Goodwin's to-morrow night and imitate the cry of the Banshee, I will reward her and you liberally for it. You are already well aware of my generosity."
