"I understand; about Coolnamuck, isn't it?" "Exactly; I believe that's all." "Well, now, Charley, you may go down-stairs, and we'll talk it over after dinner." "Yes, Charley dear, go down, for I'm going to draw on my stockings," said the fair Mrs. Blake, with a look of very modest consciousness.
We remained that night at the house of his entertainer, where we were joined the following morning by O'Mahony. We spent the three succeeding days in and about the woods at Coolnamuck.
