Jones, "and I would trust them in anything. There is Father Giles at Headford, and he is as fair a man as any clergyman of our own could be. You cannot imagine that he would give such advice to my boy?" "Not Father Giles certainly," said the other man. "Then down with us at Ballintubber there is Father Malachi." "I know him too," said Mr. Blake. "He would not interfere with a boy like Florian.
Joseph Armstrong, of Headford, and from him no aid, or counsel, or pleasant friendship could be expected in this matter. The trouble of Florian's education fell for the nonce into Edith's hands. He had hitherto worked under various preceptors; his father, his sister, and his brother; also a private school at Galway for a time had had the charge of him. But now Edith alone undertook the duty.
Colonel Nolan, M.P., when canvasing at Headford, was violently assaulted by a priest, who cut open the Parnellite head with a stout blackthorn. Like a good Catholic, the Colonel would fain have endured this clerical argument; but the police authorities insisted on the matter seeing the light. Clerical domination and the means by which it is attained are therefore proven by undeniable evidence.
"But badly," said the father. "It has told upon him very much. He complains to his sister that I have utterly cast him off." "It is the oddest case I ever heard of in my life," said the Captain. "I suppose his change of religion has been at the bottom of it that and the machinations of the priest down at Headford.
Pat Carroll had been before the magistrates at Headford, and had been discharged, as all evidence was lacking to connect him with the occurrence. Further effort none was made, and Pat Carroll went on in his course, swearing that not a shilling of rent should be paid by him in next March.
The scene was a cottage, almost in the town of Headford, and about two miles from the nearest part of the Morony estate. In this cottage Carroll was sitting at one side of a turf fire, while an old woman was standing by the doorway making a stocking. And in this cottage also was another man, whose face was concealed by an old crape mask, which covered his eyes and nose and mouth.
The curate at Headford is not his priest, and why should a promise made to any priest be more sacred than one made to another, unless it were made in confession? I cannot understand Florian. It seems as though he were anxious to take part with these wretches against his country, against his religion, and against his father.
"I don't suppose it will go on for ever," said Frank. "Why don't you suppose so? What's to be the end of it all? Do you see any way out of it? for I do not. Does your father see his way to bringing those meadows back into his hands? I'm told that some of those fellows shot at Clayton the other day down at Headford.
It certainly was known in Galway yesterday, that I was to come across the lake this morning, and the tidings may have come up by some fellow-traveller. He would drop word with some of the boys at Ballintubber as he passed by. And they might have thought it likely that I should go to Headford. They have had their chance on this occasion, and they have not done any good with it."
