And there is Joe, with a mother depending on him, out of work, and with no testimonial to help him to another," Molly would reply. The result would be a few shillings from the old lady's purse, which Joe would probably spend on "a good thing," that would just fail to secure a race, as "good things" so often do. But Molly Healy was never discouraged by such trifles as these.
Desmond answered banteringly: "You will hate to the end, Molly?" "Sure, my hates are as enduring as my loves," said Molly. "You can always know how you will find Molly Healy." "I don't think you are quite fair to Gerard," said Desmond. "Now, tell us about Sylvia Jackson, Desmond," said Kathleen, anxious to terminate the discussion.
There is an unutterable discomfort in the recollections of the invariable course of procedure on these occasions first, the dozens of beseeching letters to be written to our friends, imploring their attendance at meetings at which, if Mr Healy found us in full strength, all was uneventful and they had an expensive journey for their pains; next, the consultations far into the night preceding every trial of strength; the painful ticking off, man by man, of the friends, foes, and doubtfuls on the Party list, the careful collection of information as to the latest frame of mind of this or that man of the four or five waverers who might turn the scale; the resolution, after endless debates, to take strong action to force the Party to a manful choice at long last between Mr Dillon and his tormentors, and to give somebody or anybody authority enough to effect something; and then almost invariably the next day the discovery that all the labour had been wasted and the strong action resolved upon had been dropped in deference to some drivelling hesitation of some of the four or five doubtfuls who had become de facto the real leaders of the Party."
But the other Secretaries, who enjoyed the joke, convinced him that if the affair became public he would be laughed at, and he abandoned the prosecution of the daring artist- author. Mr. Healy came to Washington in the last winter of the Pierce Administration, and painted several capital portraits. Mr. Ames, of Boston, who exhibited a life-like portrait of Daniel Webster, and Mr.
They begin to see that they have been used by such men as O'Brien and Healy, they see the incompetency which has reduced the party paper to so low an ebb, they see the misery and degradation which the Land League inflicted on the once thriving districts of Tipperary; they saw their neighbours, poor, unlettered men, dupes of unscrupulous lying eloquence, men whom it was murder to deceive they saw these men sentenced to long terms of penal servitude, while the instigators of the crimes for which they had suffered, availing themselves of the liberal English law, broke their bail, and, travelling first-class to Paris, lived in the best hotels of that gay city on the plunder they had wiled from ignorant servant girls, being clothed in purple and fine linen, and faring sumptuously every day, while their friends the felons trod the tireless wheel and the housemaids went on with their scrubbing.

Molly Healy acted as sacristan in the church, and Father Healy was accustomed to say: "If you attended to everything as you do to the Altar, you would be a treasure to the husband that came seeking you."
People began to ask seriously whether it had really been necessary at all, and the verdict was not always complimentary to the authorities. Mr. Healy raised the question in the House whether any such measures had ever been really necessary, considering that the rebels held such few positions, and these could have been isolated by the municipal water supply being cut off.
"Interesting if true." Keller's gaze passed derisively over him and dismissed the man. "And I hope when I come I'll meet Mr. Keller first." The nester's attention was focused indolently upon the hills. He seemed to have forgotten that the cattleman was in Arizona. Healy ripped out a sudden oath, drove the spurs in, and went down the trail with his broncho on the buck.

"If it had been you, Kathleen, I would not have wondered, for you are as beautiful as I am plain. But what made the man be wanting me? I have nothing beyond my hair, and who would be marrying a girl for her hair?" "If I were a man I would marry no other woman but Molly Healy. Plain!
