"Why," said his mother, "what differ does it make?" "Why," replied the other, "that Vanston votes to keep us slaves, and Chevydale to give us our political freedom: the one is opposed to our religion and our liberty, and the other votes for both."
It stood in a park, which for the beauties of wood and. water was indeed worthy of its fine simplicity and grandeur a park in which it was difficult to say whether the beautiful, the picturesque, or the wild, predominated most. And yet in this princely residence Mr. Chevydale did not reside more than a month, or at most two, during the whole year.
"I remember it," replied Chevydale, "and; yet my agents told me that Burke did everything in his power to prevent M'Mahon from voting for you." "That," replied the other, "was to preserve his own character from the charge of inconsistency; for, I again assure you that he had promised us M'Mahon's vote, and that he urged him privately to vote against you.
"Listen to me, my honest friend don't believe Fethertonge, nor don't rely on Chevydale, who will do nothing more nor less than the agent allows him. If you depend upon either or both, you are a ruined man, and I am very much afraid you are that already.
"Well," said Chevydale, with a very solemn ironical smile, "I am myself very much of your way of thinking; and, as a proof of it, I beg to say that, as your appointment to the office of Supervisor has not yet been made out, I shall write to my brother, the Commissioner, to take care that it never shall.
How is your father, M'Mahon? I hope he bears up well under his recent loss." "Indeed but poorly, sir," replied Bryan, "I fear he'll never be the same man." Chevydale here took to reading a newspaper, and in a minute or two appeared to be altogether unconscious of Bryan's presence.
"In fact, gentleman," proceeded the priest, "in consequence of certain disclosures that have reached me with reference to these Hogans, I deemed it my duty to bring Nanny Peety before Mr. Chevydale here. She is accompanied by Kate Hogan, the wife of one of these ruffians, who refuses to be separated from her and insists, consequently, on coming along with her.
"You know," replied the priest, "that you cannot be taken by surprise; because I myself told you the substance of the strong suspicions that are against you." Bryan M'Mahon now entered, and was cordially greeted by Vanston and we may add rather kindly, in manner at least, by Chevydale.
Chevydale, at least; but, as I said before, I know nothing more about it, than simply it was these ruffians and a fellow named Phats, a Distiller, that set it a-working, however, the question is, what am I to do? If I must pay the fine for the whole townland, it will beggar me ruin me.
Well, you have your eye upon that farm, and you say you have a promise of it." "Something like it; but the d d landlord, Chevydale, is impracticable so my uncle says and doesn't wish to disturb the M'Mahons, although he has been shown that it is his interest to do so but d n the fellow, neither he nor one of his family ever look to their interests d n the fellow, I say."
