People credited Moriarty's queerness of manner and moody ways to the solitude, and said it showed how Government spoilt the futures of its best men. Moriarty had built himself the plinth of a very god reputation in the bridge-dam-girder line.
The Irish themselves know not what is taking place ten miles away. How is England to learn the precise state of things? I have fished up a few recent samples of minor occurrences which will form part of Mr. Moriarty's news. These smaller outrages invariably lead up to murder if the victim resist. They are so many turns of the screw, just to let the recalcitrant feel what can be done.
With open heart, open purse, public overture, and private negotiation with the parents of Peggy Sheridan, he at last succeeded in accomplishing Moriarty's marriage. Ormond's biographer may well be allowed to make the most of his persevering generosity on this occasion, because no other scrap of good can be found, of which to make any thing in his favour, for several months to come.
Moriarty, who is married now to a woman ten thousand times better than Mrs. Reiver a woman who believes that there is no man on earth as good and clever as her husband will go down to his grave vowing and protesting that Mrs. Reiver saved him from ruin in both worlds. That she knew anything of Moriarty's weakness nobody believed for a moment.
"I wouldn't say," said Moriarty, "that you've destroyed it altogether; though it's my opinion that it's better the way it was before you set your hand to it. But anyhow you needn't be uneasy. There isn't a man, woman or child that ever heard the tune but would know what you're aiming at." Dr. O'Grady felt that Moriarty's judgment in the matter was too decisive and confident to be ignored.
"But there's a gentleman, I am sure, will sing some other song and a better one, I have no doubt," said Tom, with a very humble prostration of his head on the table, and anxious by a fresh song to get out of the dilemma in which Moriarty's question was near placing him.
"Half-sovereigns," I replied, feeling for the purse which, vulgar as it is, bushmen even of aristocratic lineage are compelled to carry. I placed the little coin about one-tenth of my total wealth in Moriarty's hand. He shrank from the touch. "What do you mean?" he asked petulantly. "I might n't win it, after all. Don't be more disagreeable than you can help."
"Clerk, strike Dennis Moriarty's fine off the list." "Thank you," said Peter to the saloon-keeper. "If I can ever do a turn for you, let me know it." "Dat's hunky," said the man, and they parted. Peter went out and walked into the region of the National Milk Company, but this time he went to the brewery. He found Mr. Bohlmann, and told him the story, asking his advice at the end.
"But you'll do the best you can. Come along now, Mary Ellen. It's pretty near time for me to be going on patrol, and the sergeant will check me if I'm late." "There's something in that idea of Moriarty's," said Dr. O'Grady, when he and Doyle were alone again. "I don't see what good will come of it," said Doyle, "and I'm doubting whether Thady Gallagher will be pleased.
"Oh, but this isn't going to be the end; this is the true beginning of all things." "I wish I could see it in that light; but we can not see beauty in anything when hunger lies back of the eyes. I haven't had anything to eat, save that single apple, for hours and hours. I was so excited at Mouquin's that I ate almost nothing." "You are hungry? Well, we'll fix that when we get to Moriarty's.
