They were full of nothing else; their brother's fine house Anty's great fortune; their wealth, prosperity, and future station and happiness, gave them subjects of delightful conversation among their friends.
Barry had just succeeded in raising his sister to the sofa as he heard the knock. "Who's that?" he called out loudly; "what do you want?" "Plaze yer honer, Miss Anty's wanting in the kitchen." "She's busy, and can't come at present; she'll be there directly." "Is she ill at all, Mr. Barry? God bless you, spake, Miss Anty; in God's name, spake thin. Ah! Mr.
"I'm sure I'm very much obliged to Mr Martin" it had been plain Martin before Meg's appeal; "but your mother knows what's best for me, and I'll do whatever she says. Av' it hadn't been for her, I don't know where I'd be now." "But you needn't quarrel with Martin because you're frinds with mother," answered Meg. "Nonsense, Meg," said Jane, "Anty's not going to quarrel with him.
"Ah! but it'll be Anty's consent, now, you know. She mayn't like Toneroe. But tell me all about it. What put it into your head?" "Why, my lord, you run away so fast; one can't tell you anything. I didn't say I was going to marry her at laist, not for certain; I only said I might do worse." "Well then; are you going to marry her, or rather, is she going to marry you, or is she not?"
"Shure he will: he'll be dhrunk always, now he's once begun," replied Meg, who, of all the family was the most anxious to push her brother's suit; and who, though really fond of her friend, thought the present opportunity a great deal too good to be thrown away, and could not bear the idea of Anty's even thinking of being reconciled to her brother.
The next day he comes to me again, all the way down to Toneroe, where I was walking the big grass-field by myself, and began saying that, as he was Anty's agent, of course he wouldn't see her wronged. 'Quite right, Mr.
"It's little, I'm thinking, I and Barry'll be having to do together, unless it be about the brads; and the law about them now, thank God, makes no differ for Roman and Protesthant. Anty's as good a Catholic as ever breathed, and so was her mother before her; and when she's Mrs Kelly, as I mane to make her, Master Barry may shell out the cash and go to heaven his own way for me."
It was, however, at last agreed that notice was to be served on the Kellys, of Barry Lynch's determination to indict them for a conspiracy; that Daly was to see the widow, Martin, and, if possible, Anty, and tell them all that Moylan was prepared to prove that such a conspiracy had been formed; care was also to be taken that copies of the notices so served should be placed in Anty's hands.
"I tell you, I must stand to them; you don't suppose I'd ask her to pay a penny as a favour? No; I'm a little too proud for that. Besides, it'd be no use, not the least; and that's what I'm coming to. You see, Anty's got this money, and You know, don't you, Mr Daly, poor Anty's not just like other people?" "No," said Mr Daly "I didn't. I can't say I know much about Miss Lynch.
In this manner did Mrs Kelly express the various thoughts that ran through her head, as she considered Anty's affairs; and if we could analyse the good lady's mind, we should probably find that the result of her reflections was a pleasing assurance that she could exercise the Christian virtues of charity and hospitality towards Anty, and, at the same time, secure her son's wishes and welfare, without subjecting her own name to any obloquy, or putting herself to any loss or inconvenience.
