"What you have yourself, round the house, 'll be enough; only I'm thinking the rent 'll be too high." "It shall not; it shall be low enough; and, as I was saying, you shall have the remainder, at the same price, immediately after Michaelmas, as soon as ever those devils are ejected." "Well;" said Colligan, who was now really interested, "what's the figure?"
And then he would go a little further, and remark that "if the poor thing was to go, it would be better for all she went at once," and expressed an opinion that he was rather ill-treated by being kept so very long in suspense. Doctor Colligan ought to have been shocked at this; and so he was, at first, to a certain extent, but he was not a man of a very high tone of feeling.
One thing he found sure and certain; on one point he was able to become determined: he could not do it alone; he must have an assistant; he must buy some one's aid; and again he looked at Colligan, and again his eyes fell. There was no encouragement there, but there was no discouragement. Why did he stay there so long? Why did he so slowly sip that third glass of wine?
"Well, Doctor Colligan, what do you say?" "I don't know what to say, my lord. I came to your lordship for advice, both as a magistrate and as a friend of the young man who is to marry Lynch's sister. Of course, if you cannot advise me, I will go away again." "You won't come before me and Mr Brew, then?" "I don't say I won't," said Colligan; "but I don't see the use.
Barry's attempt on Doctor Colligan's virtue was very unsuccessful, for Anty continued to mend under the treatment of that uncouth but safe son of Galen. As Colligan told her brother, the fever had left her, though for some time it was doubtful whether she had strength to recover from its effects.
At last his ear caught the sound of the doctor's heavy foot on the gravel outside the door, and immediately afterwards the door bell was rung. Barry hastily poured out a glass of raw spirits and swallowed it; he then threw himself into his chair, and Doctor Colligan again entered the room. "What a time you've been, Colligan! Why I thought you weren't coming all night.
Would you think you had enough if you were robbed of more than half of all you have. Half, indeed," he shouted "I may say all, at once. I don't believe there's a man in Ireland would bear it. Nor will I." Again there was a silence; but still, somehow, Colligan seemed to stay longer than usual.
Barry grinned horribly at this suggestion, but said nothing, and the parson continued: "It is not the want of evidence that stands in the way of so desirable a proceeding, but that Doctor Colligan, thoroughly disgusted and shocked at the iniquity of your proposal " "Oh, go on, Mr Armstrong! go on; I see you are determined to have it all your own way, but my turn'll come soon."
After considerable efforts, Biddy succeeded in awaking her master sufficiently to make him understand that Lord Ballindine, and Doctor Colligan were downstairs, and that Parson Armstrong was just outside the bed-room door.
"You wouldn't have him come in here to her, would you? Faix, Doctor Colligan, it'll be her death out right at once av he does." "It'd not be nathural, to refuse to let him see her," said the Doctor; "and I don't think it would do any harm: but I'll be guided by you, Mrs Kelly, in what I say to him."
