Lord Mountjoy divided his army into small parties, and harassed the rebels on every side: he built Charlemont and many other small forts, which were impregnable to the Irish, and guarded all the important passes of the country: the activity of Sir Henry Docwray and Sir Arthur Chichester permitted no repose or security to the rebels; and many of the chieftains, after skulking during some time in woods and morasses, submitted to mercy, and received such conditions as the deputy was pleased to impose upon them.
Mountjoy, after transacting some civil business at Dublin, proceeded in person to the north, while Dowcra, marching out of Derry, pressed O'Neil from the north and north-east. In June, Mountjoy was at Charlemont, which he placed under the custody of Captain Toby Caufield, the founder of an illustrious title taken from that fort.
Later in the summer Mountjoy was again on the Blackwater, where he laid the foundation of Charlemont, called after himself, and placed 350 men in the works under the command of Captain Williams, the brave defender of the old fort in the same neighbourhood.
But even then there was a sort of reason for it; for, at the beginning, when Joe came down upon us here in Charlemont, he was for riding over people's necks, without so much as asking, 'by your leave. He had a way about him that vexed me, though we did not change a word." "And it's that very way that this person has that I don't like," said William Hinkley.
The captain bawled in vain. Aide-de-camp after aide-de-camp was sent to enquire the cause; they all came back roaring with laughter. At length Charlemont, rather irritated by the ridicule of the display, rode down the line and desired the captain to order them to move; not a man stirred; they were as immovable as a wall of brass.
"I think you're wrong there!" said Charlemont "Wild oats are a singularly perpetual crop. In many cases marriage seems to give them a fresh start." "Will there be a good harvest when YOU marry, Charly?" asked one of the company, with a laugh. "Oh, I shouldn't wonder!" he returned, good-naturedly "I'm just as big a fool as any other man. But I always do my best not to play down on a woman."
Already, in the little village of Charlemont, Margaret Cooper was one of the few who were permitted to indulge in humors, and William Hinkley learned the reason assigned for her refusal, with an expression of regret and disappointment, if not of reproach.
The English clergymen in general are far from exacting the whole of what is due to them, but sacrifice a little to the love of popularity or to the dread of odium. "During the administration of Lord Halifax," says Mr. Hardy, in quoting the opinion of Lord Charlemont upon tithes paid by Catholics, "Ireland was dangerously disturbed in its southern and northern regions.
Grateful and beautiful indeed was this mysteriously softened light to the ladies round the table, and for a brief space they almost LOVED Maryllia. For HER face was flushed, and quite uncooled by powder 'like a dairymaid's she will get so coarse if she lives in the country always! Mrs. Bludlip Courtenay confided softly to Lord Charlemont, who vaguely murmured 'Ah! Yes!
Touching the romance of the ancient farmstead, we are more modestly content to describe it as sterile, lonely, and unattractive; its obscurity offering, for the present, its chief attractions to our desolate heroine, and the true occasion for that deep disgust with which her amiable mother beheld it. Our chronicle of Charlemont is ended. We have no further object or interest within its precincts.
