The young man swore a great oath that he was in it body and soul, swore it by the bones of his ten toes. But he laughed before the words were out of his mouth. And "I don't believe you," Asgill said coolly. "You know, and I know, what you were ready to do when the old man was alive, and if it had paid you properly. And you'd do the same now, if it paid you now.
"What have I to gain by robbing the young lady of her inheritance? I'd be more likely to lose by it than gain." "Lose by it? Why?" "That is my affair," Asgill answered. And he hummed: They tried put the comether on Judy McBain: One, two, three, one, two, three! Cotter and crowder and Paddy O'Hea; For who but she's owner of Ballymacshane?
And more by token, I know this!" Asgill retorted. He had risen to depart, and the two stood with their faces close together. "This!" he repeated, clapping one hand on the other. "If you're a fool, I'm a bigger! By Heaven, I am! Or what would I be doing? Why, I'd be pressing you into this, by the Lord, I would, in place of holding you back!
"Oh, Colonel Sullivan?" "Yes, your friend who was to return to-day," the other retorted. "Have you seen anything of him?" he continued, with a grin. Asgill fixed his eyes steadily on Payton's face. "I'm fancying you have the advantage of me," he said. "More by token, I'm thinking, Major, you have seen that same friend already." "Maybe I have." "And had a bout with him?" "Eh?"
An insolent Englishman had come, and given reins to the 'ubris that was in him, and, after running Luke Asgill through the body, had paid the penalty in fight so fair that the very troopers who had witnessed it could make no complaint nor raise trouble. So much Uncle Ulick had learned.
At the end of those minutes, and when they were at some distance from the house, "I see," Asgill said thoughtfully. "Easy to put him under the sod! But you're thinking him worse dead than alive." "Sorra a doubt of it!" "Yet the bogs are deep," Asgill returned, his tone smacking faintly of raillery. "You might deal with him first, and his heir when the time came. Why not?" "God knows!"
This was the famous Argument Proving that According to the Covenant of Eternal Life, revealed in the Scriptures, Man may be Translated from Hence into that Eternal Life without Passing Through Death, although the Human Nature of Christ Himself could not be thus Translated till He had Passed Through Death . In this book of 106 pages Asgill argued that death, which had come by Adam, had been removed by the death of Christ, and had lost its legal power.
Asgill nodded. The Englishman looked once more at him to make sure that he was sober; then he turned on his heel and went back through the courtyard. Asgill remained alone. He had taken the step there was no retracing. He had cast the dice, and the next few minutes would decide whether it was for life or death.
Payton rejoined, laying his hand on a glass and speaking in a towering rage. "Damn you, you know it's true!" "I know nothing about it," Asgill replied, with the utmost coolness. "Nothing?" "And for a good reason. Sure, and I'm the last person they would be likely to tell it to!" "And you were not a party to it?" Payton cried. "Why should I be?" Asgill rejoined, calmly cutting a slice of bread.
The men who looked at him, and cursed the unlucky star which had brought him thither, were Luke Asgill and The McMurrough. "Faith, and I should have thought," Asgill said, with a clouded face, "that my presence here, Major, and I, a Justice " "True for you!" Payton said, with a grin.
