About three years previous to the period of our narrative, Toal M'Mahon, Bryan's uncle, died of an inflammatory attack, leaving to his eldest nephew and favorite the stock farm of Ahadarra.
"How can I proceed, when you won't pay attention to me; or, what is more, to your own interests?" "Oh! my own interests! well I am alive to them." "Is it a bargain, then?" "It is a bargain, most ingenuous, most subtle, and most conscientious Hycy! Enable me to enter upon the farm of Ahadarra to get possession of it and calculate upon my most let me see what's the best word most strenuous advocacy.
The fine and distillation affair, however, will save us a good deal of trouble, and of course I am very glad you declined to have anything to do with the support of his petition. The fellow is nothing else than shuffler, as I told you. Vote or not, therefore, out of Ahadarra he goes; and, when he does, I have a good tenant to put in his place."
"Why, the gallows, sir ha! ha! ha! but don't forget the O if you plaise ever and always the big O before Finigan ha! ha! ha!" "Come, Clinton," said Hycy, "move on a little. D n that fellow!" he cried "he's a sneering scoundrel; and I'm half inclined to think he has more in him than one would be apt to give him credit for." "By the way, what could the visit to Ahadarra mean?" asked Clinton.
Bryan entered a library, where he found his landlord and Fethertonge apparently engaged in business, and as he was in the act of doing so, he overheard Chevydale saying "No, no, I shall always see my tenants." Bryan made his obeisance in his own plain way, and Chevydale said "Are you M'Mahon of Ahadarra?" "I am, sir," replied Bryan.
This counthry isn't one now to prosper in, as I said not long since this very day. We must lave the ould places, an' as I tould Fethertonge, the M'Mahons of Ahadarra and Carriglass will be the M'Mahons of Ahadarra and Carriglass no more; but God's will be done! I must look to the intherest of you all, childre'; but, God help us, that's what I can't do here for the future.
"You are right, my darling Dora. I must be proud on receiving such a message. Kathleen has done me injustice, and I must be proud in my own defence." The full burthen of this day's care, however, had not been yet laid upon him. On returning home, he heard from one of his laborers that a notice to quit his farm of Ahadarra had been left at his house.
As a holding, however, it was reasonable; and we may safely assert that if Toal M'Mahon had been either industrious or careful he might have lived and died a wealthy man upon it. As Ahadarra lay in the mountain district, it necessarily covered a large space; in fact it constituted a townland in itself.
I shall have leases prepared give up the notion of emigration the country cannot spare such men as you and your admirable son. I shall have leases I say prepared, and you will be under no necessity of leaving either Carriglass or Ahadarra." Need we describe the effect which such a communication had upon this sterling-hearted family?
You see, Fethertonge, in order to enhance the value of his generosity to myself, or, to come nearer the truth, the value of Ahadarra, was the means of placing a document, which I will immediately show you, in my hands."
