"It's good for ye that ye did," said the man. "Thank Him now that ye've got your feet on dry land again." They had scarcely touched the shore when the storm began to whistle, and soon to roar, and big waves hurled themselves on the island. It was quite certain they could not return to Trimleston that night.
"I see someone awfully like Turly; just there in the distance," said Terry. "Do you see, Mr. "My name's Reilly," said the carter. "Thank you, Mr. Reilly. I'm dreadfully afraid it's Turly!" "Who is Turly, and why are you afraid it's him?" "Turly is my brother, Turlough Trimleston. I'm afraid because he oughtn't to be out riding on a donkey this foggy morning."
To the allegations in this letter the Justices replied by proclamation, denying most of them, and repeating their summons to Lords Fingal, Gormanstown, Slane, Dunsany, Netterville, Louth, and Trimleston, to attend in Dublin on the 17th.

There had been utter dismay in Trimleston House: and after much struggling with difficulties, Madam had been obliged to yield to the decision of their father and to send them to school.
"Think of what it was to manage her in the summer months!" said dear old Madam Trimleston, looking wistfully at Nurse Nancy. "What could we do with her this winter weather? I do hope she will be changed. Don't you think it likely that school will have done something for her?" "Of course I do, madam. What else did we break our hearts sendin' her there for?
The tea-table had been placed to one side, near Granny's chair, and as Madam laughed heartily at Terencia's prattle no one could have suggested that the coming of this bright little creature had been as a nightmare to the old lady for many weeks past. But after the children were gone to bed Madam Trimleston said to Nancy: "I must say a few words to Lally. Ask him to come up here and speak to me."
For Madam was very delicate, and since she had been left alone in old Trimleston House she rarely went down into the great rooms below. "It would make you cry," Nancy would say, "to see her sittin' there all by herself, afther the family she rared, an' them all scatthered about over the four corners of the earth; an' the rest o' them in heaven!"
And Nurse said it was down somewhere, and I came out to look for fresh eggs to give Gran'ma a surprise for breakfast." "And now what would be your name, little lady, an' who would be your gran'ma?" "My name is Terencia Mary, and my grandmama is Madam Trimleston," said Terry. The man gave a whistle of surprise. "Faith and Missus Nancy might look afther ye betther," he said.
However, though old Trimleston House stood in a lonely part of Ireland, between the hills and the sea, yet Madam was not so desolate as might have been supposed, for she was beloved by all the "neighbours" for twenty miles around, and poor and rich made their sympathy felt by her.
