"So much," Colonel John answered, with the same severe look, "that I am loth to think ill of any. Are you alone, Mr. O'Beirne?" "Faith, and who'd there be with me?" Morty answered in true Irish fashion. "I cannot say. I ask only, Are you alone?" "Then I am, and that's God's truth," Morty replied, peering inquisitively into the corners of the gloomy chamber.
"Geary and Ballinger sent me ten thousand dollars for a wedding present and Morty bought some bonds for me, but I'm going to sell a few and refurnish the lower rooms. I love the old house but I like cheerful modern things. The poor old parlors and dining-room do look like sarcophagi." "Good. I'll help. We'll have no end of fun."
Wrenn reflected that Morton must be a society person; and he made his invitation highly polite: "Well, say, old man, I'd be awful happy if you could come over and feed on me. Can't you come over and meet me, Morty?" "Y-yes, I guess I can. Yes, I'll do it. Where'll I meet you?" "How about Twenty-eighth and Sixth Avenue?" "That'll be all right, Bill. 'Bout six o'clock?" "Fine!
"James will talk to them." "James " "You had better speak to them," Colonel John continued, addressing his companion. "And you, Ulick " "You can't come in," Ulick repeated grimly. James McMurrough interposed in his harshest tone. "An end to this!" he cried. "Who the devil are you to bar the door, Ulick! And you, Phelim and Morty, be easy a minute till you hear me speak."
"All's discovered," he exclaimed, when Morty was gone; "however, it's not too late: I shall give him a Roland for his Oliver before we part. It will be no harm to give the the respectable old nobleman a hint of what's going on, at any rate. This discovery, however, won't signify, for I know Dunroe. The poor fool has no self-reliance; but if left to himself would die.
You'd dam soon get tired of it." "What if I did? Morty, look here. I've been learning something on this trip. I've always wanted to just do one thing see foreign places. Well, I want to do that just as much as ever. But there's something that's a whole lot more important. Somehow, I ain't ever had many friends.
People are so apt to though I never found it the same thing at all. Then, too, Nelly and I were bosom friends, and they naturally wanted to give me the first chance. Their original plan had been to have the bubble held in four equal shares, taking in Morty Truslow as the fourth.
One good effect it may produce, and that is, throw worthy Lord Dunroe more into my power. Yes, I will see this M'Bride, and then let me alone for playing my card to some purpose." Dunroe found his father much as Morty had described him enjoying the fresh breeze and blessed light of heaven, as both came in upon him through the open window at which he sat.
I don't like it at all." Words were never his strong point and he could find none now adequate to express his feelings. "I may be old-fashioned " "You are, Morty. That is your only fault. You belong to the old school of American husbands " "There are plenty of old-fashioned people left in the world." "So there are, poor dears. It's going to be so hard for them "
God forgive me if I err, for vengeance is His and it is terrible to be His hand." He turned to Phelim, and, in the same stern tone, "my sword is broken," he said. "Fetch me the man's sword who lies upstairs." Phelim went, awe-stricken, and marvelling. Morty remained, marvelling also.
