"You can't say I ever keep you waiting; and I really think that's some praise for a man who has got a good many things on his hand." "So it is, Herbert," said Emmeline. "But we have done something too. We have been over to Berryhill; and the people have already begun there: they were at work with their pickaxes among the rocks by the river-side." "So much the better. Was Mr. Somers there?"
"There's a seat on the car, I know, Herbert," she said; "for you mean to ride; and I'm just as much interested about the mill as any of you." "I'm afraid the day would be too long for you, Aunt Letty," said Mary: "we shall stay there, you know, till after four." "Not a bit too long. When I'm tired I shall go into Mrs. Townsend's; the glebe is not ten minutes' drive from Berryhill." The Rev.
"We can go with you to Berryhill, I suppose, can't we?" said Mary. "I shall be in a great hurry," said Herbert, who clearly did not wish to be encumbered by his sisters on this special expedition. "And why are you to be in such a hurry to-morrow?" asked Aunt Letty. "Well, I shall be hurried; I have promised to go to Clady again, and I must be back here early, and must get another horse."
Somers soon resigned to him the chair at those committee meetings at Berryhill and Gortnaclough, and it was acknowledged that the Castle Richmond arrangements for soup-kitchens, out-door relief, and labour-gangs, might be taken as a model for the south of Ireland.

And infinite was the good that was done by such efforts as these. That they could not hinder God's work we all know; but much they did do to lessen the sufferings around, and many were the lives that were thus saved.
But such and such like were the efforts made, and these efforts ultimately were successful. The three girls were standing behind the counter of a little store which Sir Thomas had hired at Berryhill, when a woman came into the place with two children in her arms and followed by four others of different ages.
"Is there much due on the estate?" "Very little. No estate in county Cork has less on it. Miss Letty has her income, and when Poulnasherry was bought, that townland lying just under Berryhill, where the gorse cover is, part of the purchase money was left on mortgage. That is still due; but the interest is less than a hundred a-year." "And that is all?" "All that I know of."
On that occasion nothing more was said about it; but Sir Thomas hoped within his heart that his wife was right in prophesying that his son would do nothing sudden in this matter. On the following morning young Fitzgerald gave the necessary orders at Berryhill very quickly, and then coming back remounted another horse without going into the house.
