I knew you would want to persuade me against what I'm doin' an' that was why I bound myself this mornin' by an oath." The mother, who had been detained a few minutes behind them, now entered, and on hearing that he had refused to decline the battle, exclaimed "Who says that Lamh Laudher Oge won't obey his mother? Who dare say it? Wasn't he ever and always an obedient son to me an' his father?
The magistrate nodded, and Lamh Laudher immediately took his leave. In a short time the intelligence spread. From the sovereign it passed to his clerk, from the clerk to the other members of the corporation, and, ere an hour, the town was in a blaze with the intelligence. "Did you hear what's reported?" was the general question. Lamh Laudher Oge has challenged the Dead Boxer!
In going through my papers I have just come across a letter from O'Rourke, dated from the Princess's Theatre, Manchester, August 19th, 1872, in which he tells me of the great success in Manchester of another play of his, "Eileen Oge." This also he produced at the Lyceum Theatre, London, where it had a long and successful run.
Thus, in the year 1225, in one of the combats of the O'Conors, when the son of Cathal Crovdearg endeavoured to surround Turlogh O'Conor, the latter ordered his recruits to the van, and Donn Oge Magheraty, with some Tyronian and other soldiers to cover the rear, "by which means they escaped without the loss of a man."
One of them, Ogé, could not contain himself, but broke out with great warmth "I begin," says he, "not to care whether the National Assembly will admit us or not. But let it beware of the consequences. We will no longer continue to be beheld in a degraded light. Dispatches shall go directly to St. Domingo; and we will soon follow them.
"She shall be welcome," said the abbess; without, however, much of the spirit of welcome in her tone. "So this is our calamity!" said Euphrosyne, laughing. "There is calamity at hand, assuredly," sighed sister Benoite. "Nay, nay, my daughter. This is superstition," said the abbess. "Whatever it be, reverend mother, do we not all, does not every one quake when Madame Oge comes abroad?"
She stopped abruptly before the name L'Ouverture, remembering that it would not be acceptable to all the present company. "I have no doubt," said Madame Oge, "that all the monkeys and parrots are taught to shout L'Ouverture. Like his people, they are quick at learning that much.
When all goes well, as all has done, under L'Ouverture's rule, with only a few occasional troubles fewer and slighter than might have been expected during such a change in society as we have witnessed when all goes well, Madame Oge feels that her sons are forgotten; and, as my daughter Benoite says, she mourns them alone in the shades of her coffee-groves.
Tell me that you forgive me, acushla oge machree! Manim asthee ha, darlin', say it. I darn't look to God! but oh! do you say the forgivin' word to your father before you die!"
"But," continued the nun, "when any disaster is about to happen, we have notice of it by Madame Oge coming abroad. She came to this very house the first day of the meeting of the deputies, in that terrible August of ninety-one. She came a day or two before the rising against Hedouville. She came the night before the great hurricane of ninety-seven "
