"I don't like that," said one of the guards to another; "he may take the girl away, but it's not the thing to murdher any one belongin' to a dacent family, an' of our own religion." "If it's only the Bodagh got it," replied his comrade, who was no other than Micky Malvathra, "blaizes to the hair I care. "Damn it," rejoined the other, "but to murdher a man in his bed!
"Why, how the devil can you call this good weather, neighbor, when it's raining for the last week, night and day?" "I do call it good weather for all that," returned Nogher, "for you ought to know that every weather's good that God sends." "Well," said the Bodagh, taken aback a little by the Nogher's piety, "there's truth in that, too, neighbor."
"But it's hard to tell who has a good heart, Connor; I'd never say any one has till I'd seen them well thried." At length the hour for setting out arrived, and both, armed with good oaken cudgels proceeded to Bodagh Buie's haggard, whither they arrived a little before the appointed hour.
O'Brien herself, or, on the other hand, to the Bodagh; but touching that and other matters relating to what was proposed to be done, Una's opinion and advice might be necessary. Little passed, therefore, worthy of note, during the intermediate time, except a short conversation between Bartle and Connor on the following day, as they returned to the field from dinner.
Here might Bodagh Buie be seen, dressed in a gray broad-cloth coat, broad kerseymere breeches, and lambs' wool stockings, moving from place to place with that calm, sedate, and contented air, which betokens an easy mind and a consciousness of possessing a more than ordinary share of property and influence.
As to the "Half sir," he stands about half-way between the bodagh and the gentleman, Bodagh signifying churl was applied originally as a term of reproach to the English settlers. In fact, Ellish's industry had already gained a character for both herself and her husband.
"Dhar Chriestha," exclaimed Flanagan, "I have it; thim I spoke about has paid Bodagh Buie the visit they promised him."
Una could not speak, but wept on; the grief she felt, however, became gradually milder in its character, until at length her violent sobbings were hushed; and, although the tears still flowed, they flowed in silence. "We will have him back, sartinly," said the Bodagh; "don't cry, dear, we'll have him here again with no disateful villain to swear away his life."
The truth was, that Fardorougha's visit to the Bodagh, thanks to the high tones of his own shrill voice, had drawn female curiosity, already suspicious of the circumstances, to the keyhole of the parlor-door, where the issue and object of the conference soon became known.
"Say at once that you consint, and then I'll spake I'll say what I'll do." The Bodagh looked inquiringly at his wife and son. The latter nodded affirmatively. "We do consent," he added. "That shows your own sinse," said the old man. "Now what fortune will you portion your colleen wid?" "That depinds upon what you'll do for your son," returned the Bodagh.
