Everything, however, depends upon their leaving the country before Chevydale happens to come at the real state of the case; still, it will go hard or we shall baffle both him and them yet."

I have been too confiding and easy in fact, I have not thought for myself; but been merely good or evil, according to the caprice of the man who managed me, and whom, up until now, I did not suspect."
Hycy met that night in Teddy Phat's still-house, in Glendearg, an' went home together across the mountains aftherward." "Well, Mr. Burke, what have you to say to this?" asked Chevydale. "Why," replied Hycy, "that it's a very respectable conspiracy as it stands, supported by the thief and vagabond, and the beggar's brat." "Was there any investigation at the time of its occurrence?" asked Vanston.
"Ha!" exclaimed Chevydale; "Mr. Hycy Burke, do you say? Mr. Burke," he added, addressing that gentleman, "how is this? Here is a grave and serious charge against you. What have you to say to it?" "That it would be both grave and serious," replied Hycy, "if it possessed but one simple element, without which all evidence is valueless I mean truth.
"Don't lay the blame upon the Hogans," replied Kate, fiercely "the Hogans, bad as people say they are, only acted under Hycy Burke. It was Hycy Burke." "But," said Chevydale, probably out of compassion for the old man, "you must know we are not now investigating Mr. Burke's conduct."

"But what could he do?" asked Bryan. "Why, by backing a memorial from you, stating the particulars, and making out a strong case, he might get the fine reduced. I shall draw up such a memorial if you wish."
