In this situation we must now leave them, to follow Peety, who is on his way to deliver the other letter to Bryan M'Mahon. Our little black Mercury was not long in arriving at the house of Tom M'Mahon, which he reached in company with that worthy man himself, whom he happened to overtake near Carriglass where he lived.
Fethertonge, that to a man like me, that's layin' out and expendin' money every day upon Adaharra farm, and my father the same way upon Carriglass I say, to a man like me, to be layin' out his money, when you know yourself that if the present landlord should refuse to carry his father's dying words into effect or, as you said this minute yourself, sir, if some enemy should turn you against me, amn't I and my father and the whole family liable to be put out, notwithstanding all the improvements we've made, and the money we've spent in makin' them?"
Howandiver, as I said, whether you go or stay, Bryan, God be wid you!" During all that morning Thomas M'Mahon had been evidently suffering very deeply from a contemplation of the change that was about to take place by the departure of himself and his family from Carriglass.
The heart was always right wid his father, and every one knows there's a great deal in true blood. Sooner or later it'll tell for itself but what is this? There was something troublin' me this minute. Oh! ay, you're goin' away, then, to America; but, mark my words: I won't go. You may, but I'll stay here. I won't lave the green fields of Carriglass for any one.
Oh! surely you wouldn't bring the old man away from the green fields of Carriglass? Would you lay my white head in a strange land, an' among a strange people? Would you take poor ould grandfather away from them that expects him down, at Carndhu where they sleep? Carndhu's a holy churchyard.
I shall have leases prepared give up the notion of emigration the country cannot spare such men as you and your admirable son. I shall have leases I say prepared, and you will be under no necessity of leaving either Carriglass or Ahadarra." Need we describe the effect which such a communication had upon this sterling-hearted family?
But at any rate, Tom, achora, don't take me away from them; sure you wouldn't part me from the green fields of Carriglass? Sure you'd not take me from the blessed graveyard of Carndhu, where we all sleep. I couldn't rest in a sthrange grave, nor among strange people; I couldn't rest, barrin' I'm wid her, Peggy Na Laveen." These words he uttered after his return into the house.
"I thought you were a much older man," said Chevydale, "there certainly must be, some mistake here," he added, looking at Fethertonge. "M'Mahon of Ahadarra was a middle-aged man several years ago, but this person is young enough to be his man." "You speak of his uncle," replied Fethertonge, "who is dead. This young man, who now owns his uncle's farm, is son to Thomas M'Mahon of Carriglass.
