"Beannacht libh," cried Miss Ivors, with a laugh, as she ran down the staircase. Mary Jane gazed after her, a moody puzzled expression on her face, while Mrs. Conroy leaned over the banisters to listen for the hall-door. Gabriel asked himself was he the cause of her abrupt departure. But she did not seem to be in ill humour: she had gone away laughing. He stared blankly down the staircase.
This stood open, but it clanged shut behind them, and after crossing a steep courtyard they entered a second and broader corridor. Muiertach led them up a long flight of stairs, then another, and finally flung open a heavy door. It was evident that they were lodged in one of the towers. "Rest sound and fear not to eat our food," said the seneschal. "Beannacht leath!"
"You shall meet me once again, on a black day for you; and when you meet with Cathbarr of the Ax you shall remember me, Brian Buidh; and when you ride into the west and meet with the Bird Daughter you shall remember me. "So go, Yellow Brian, upon whose heart is stamped the red hand of the O'Neills! Beannacht leath!" "Beannacht leath," repeated the man thickly.
Drawing his cloak farther about his hunched shoulders, the latter turned to Brian with a mocking sneer. "Now farewell, Brian Buidh, and forget not to repay that loan, if you can gather enough men together. When you come again, you will find me here. A merry riding to you. Beannacht leath!" Brian looked at him grimly.
"Unless, indeed, you break that oath you swore this morning." "Not I," returned Brian shortly. "I am not given to light oaths or light pacts, Bird Daughter. I think I shall get me a ship and go cruising some day." "Come with me," she said, rising, "and you may win food and wine without begging from your overlord. Well, now for that chamber Cathbarr fixed up for me. Beannacht leath!"
