To describe Ballymoy, therefore, mountains, rivers, and such like natural eccentricities being left out of the count, is to describe fifty other West of Ireland towns.
He lent it freely, at a high rate of interest, to the other inhabitants of Ballymoy. This was his idea of the proper use of money. To spend it on works of public utility or sentimental value, struck him as very foolish. "I'd be glad, all the same," said Gallagher, "if I knew who the General was that he's talking about."
He had just received answers to his letters from four of the most eminent Irish Members of Parliament He had asked them all to attend a meeting at Ballymoy and make speeches about General John Regan. They had all refused, offering the very flimsiest excuses. Dr. O'Grady was extremely indignant. "I don't see what on earth use there is," he blurted out, "in our keeping Members of Parliament at all.
"If he's busy," said Meldon, "he's the only man in Ballymoy that is, excepting myself; and any way that prohibition doesn't apply to me. I'm an old friend. I'll just step in and see him. You needn't announce me. If you like you can go to sleep again; but if I were you I'd be beginning to get the dinner. It's near twelve o'clock." "Is it, then?" "It is. Is your name Bridget or Mary?"
I was at one time curate of Ballymoy." "Thanks," said the judge. "Won't you go on with your luncheon? I'm afraid your chop will be cold." "I have," said Meldon, "a duty to perform. I don't mind in the least if my chop does get cold. I wish to warn you that your life, your valuable life and I never realised how valuable your life was until I read your summing-up in the case of Mrs. Lorimer.
"I do not, and what's more nobody could. For there's no tune in it, only noise." The doctor hesitated. Moriarty's opinion was in one respect quite satisfactory. Neither Gallagher nor anyone else in Ballymoy was likely to recognise the tune. It might, of course, fail to impress the Lord-Lieutenant as being quite the proper thing. But that was a difficulty which could be got over.
A petition was signed by almost everyone in Ballymoy setting forth the hungry desire of the people for instruction in the arts of life. Several Members of Parliament asked the Chief Secretary searching questions on the subject of the Ballymoy Technical School. But the Chief Secretary declared himself quite unable to wring the money out of the Treasury.
The next day, if the weather is any way moderate, we can go sailing. I suppose Ballymoy isn't much changed. I shall find every one exactly as I left them. Things don't alter much in places like this where you take life easy." "The place is changed," said Major Kent; "changed for the worse. You'd hardly know it." "Nothing has happened to Doyle, I hope.
I am pledged to produce him at Ballymoy House this afternoon. Unless I do, our whole plan for getting rid of him is likely to miscarry." "I'm sorry to hear that," said Doyle. "But I couldn't tell you where he went, not if it was to have him hanged when you caught him." "I am not going to have him hanged," said Meldon.
Born in Ballymoy. Rose to great eminence in Bolivia. Finally secured the liberty of the Republic." "Father McCormack seems to think," said the Major, "that he was some kind of anti-clerical socialist." "I said he might be," said Father McCormack. "I didn't say he was, for I don't know a ha'porth about him.
