"Very well; then, Major Brennan, I tender you sixteen men fit for duty, besides myself. You are doubtless acquainted with the house, and can assign us to positions where our services will prove of greatest value." He had completely recovered his self-control by this time, and spoke now with the terse sentences of a tried soldier.
"Oh, but we can easily stop that," Harding exclaimed. "We can easily prevent any signal being used." "If you know what the signal is," Brennan said. "But if you don't know, what are you to do?" "We shall have to watch." "That's it, we shall have to watch and take care nobody knows it," Brennan replied in a low tone. "Have you a revolver?" "No.
You could eat 'em up if ye wasn't sich blamed cowards. There's only two, and we'll hang them yet." He leaped straight up the broad steps, his long cavalry sabre in hand, while a dozen of the boldest followed him. Brennan swung his sword high over head, grasping it with both hands for a death-blow, even as I thrust directly at the fellow's throat.
You men, I verily believe, shut your eyes when you shoot, for there hasn't a man dropped out there in the last half hour." I had reached the door by this time, but paused now, determined to venture one word of expostulation at his recklessness. "Major Brennan," I said, speaking sufficiently loud to be audible above the uproar, "do you not think they will attempt to charge the house?"
The gloom obscuring Patrick's spirit on that evening was of so deep a dye that Mrs. Brennan diagnosed it as the first stage of "a consumption." She administered simple remedies and warm baths with perseverance, but without effect. And more potent to cure than bath or bottle was the sight of Teacher on the next morning in her accustomed clothes and place.
Every newspaper reporter in Los Angeles was engaged in the search for Gibson that followed the publication of the exposure of his plot with Cummings. The other papers, anxious to retaliate by obtaining the first statement from Gibson for the blow given them when they were "scooped" combined their forces in a frantic effort to find him before John and Brennan could do so.
Nurse Brennan had departed, taking with her Larry's young affections, and a gift, costly and superfluous, of a silver-mounted mirror, which was accompanied by some chaste lines, expressive of Master Coppinger's desire to share its privileges, whose composition had kept him happy throughout a long, wet afternoon.
The other related the exploits of an Irish highwayman named Brennan, whose chief virtue was that What he rob-bed from the rich he gave unto the poor. And this was the villainous chorus in which they all joined, and sang in such a way as suggested highway robbery, murder, mayhem and arson: Brennan on the moor! Brennan on the moor! Proud and undaunted stood John Brennan on the moor.
He spoke with so much assurance that Ellen was soothed, but he had not left her very long before she felt that medical opinion would not satisfy her, that she must have theological opinion as well, and she wrote a letter to Father Brennan asking him to come down to see her, mentioning that she had had a baby and could not go to see him.
At first I figgered the police would be a-comin' after me; but they didn't there wasn't nobody at all seen the shootin', I reckin. And I was skeered Vic Magner might tell on me; but I guess she didn't want to run no risk of gittin' in trouble herself that Captain Brennan, of the Second Precinct, he's been threatenin' to run her out of town the first good chance he got.
