Nobody loves him no one even likes him; no one will live with him but those who mane to rob him; and he will be robbed, and plundered, and desaved, when he thinks he's robbing and desaving others." Anty paused, more for breath than for a reply, but Martin felt that he must say something. "Indeed, Anty, I fear he'll hardly come to good.
"I have but little more to say to you, Barry," she continued, "and that little is about the property. You will have it all, but a small sum of money " Here Anty was interrupted by a knock at the door, and the entrance of the widow.
Faix, forty pounds won't clear what this turn is like to come to; an' all from your dirthy undherhand schaming ways." In truth, the widow was perplexed in her inmost soul about Anty; torn and tortured by doubts and anxieties.
That, on the next morning, a legal notice should be prepared in Tuam, and served on the widow, informing her that it was his intention to indict her for conspiracy, in enticing away from her own home his sister Anty, for the purpose of obtaining possession of her property, she being of weak mind, and not able properly to manage her own affairs; that a copy of this notice should also be sent to Martin, warning him that he would be included in the indictment if he took any proceedings with regard to Miss Lynch; and that a further copy should, if possible, be put into the hands of Miss Lynch herself.
"But, Anty, tell me you don't want always to be what you call quiet?" "Oh! but I do why not?" "But you don't mane, Anty, that you wouldn't like to have some kind of work to do some occupation, like?" "Why, I wouldn't like to be idle; but a person needn't be idle because they're quiet." "And that's thrue, Anty." And Martin broke down again.
Though Martin couldn't guess, as he walked quickly down the street, what Barry Lynch could want with young Daly, who was beginning to be known as a clever, though not over-scrupulous practitioner, he felt a presentiment that it must have some reference to Anty and himself, and this made him rather uncomfortable. Could Barry have heard of his engagement?
"Will they, by G !" said Barry, and he rushed to the door, which he banged open; finding no victim outside on whom to exercise his wrath "let me catch 'em!" and he returned to his position by the fire. Anty had sat down on a sofa that stood by the wall opposite the fireplace, and Barry remained for a minute, thinking how he'd open the campaign. At last he began: "Anty, look you here, now.
As he drove down the street of Dunmore, he endeavoured to quiet his conscience, by reflecting that he might still do much to guard Anty from the ill effects of her brother's rapacity; and that at any rate he would not see her property taken from her, though she might be frightened out of her matrimonial speculation.
He explained to Barry that, as Anty had left her own home in company with Martin's mother, and as she now was a guest at the widow's, it was unlikely that any immediate clandestine marriage should be resorted to; that their most likely course would be to brazen the matter out, and have the wedding solemnised without any secrecy, and without any especial notice to him, Barry.
All this pleased the King and Queen very much, and they made up their minds to do something for Anty and Sandy. The other guests had come, and it was time for the King and Queen. At last their coach drew up in front of the door. It was a beautiful, shiny green beetle shell drawn by two gnats.
