But I knew what he meant; there was no mistaking it: I saw it in his eye." "And what did you do, Doctor Colligan, at the time?" said the parson. "I hardly remember," said the doctor; "I was so flurried. But I know I knocked him down, and then I rushed out of the room. I believe I threatened I'd have him hung." "But you did knock him down?" "Oh, I did.
It was Colligan; and, as the two gigs met in the narrow road, the dirty gallipot took off his hat, and was very sorry to trouble Lord Ballindine, but had a few words to say to him on very important and pressing business. Lord Ballindine touched his hat, and intimated that he was ready to listen, but gave no signs of getting out of his gig.
"I'm so glad to see you, Barry," said she: "I'm so very glad to see you once more " and then after a pause, "and it'll be the last time, Barry, for I'm dying." Barry told her he didn't think she was, for he didn't know when he'd seen her looking better. "Yes, I am, Barry: Doctor Colligan has said as much; and I should know it well enough myself, even if he'd never said a word.
She had, however, been greatly shaken; not by illness only, but by fear also her fears of Barry and for Barry. She still dreamed while asleep, and thought while awake, of that horrid night when he crept up to her room and swore that he would murder her. This, and what she had suffered since, had greatly weakened her, and it was some time before Doctor Colligan would pronounce her convalescent.
Though for many years he had courted the public in vain, his neighbours had at last learned to know and appreciate him; and, at the time of Anty's illness, the inhabitants of three parishes trusted their corporeal ailments to his care, with comfort to themselves and profit to him. Nevertheless, there were many things about Doctor Colligan not calculated to inspire either respect or confidence.
And yet Colligan felt that he would be compromising the matter, if he did not mention it to some one; and that he would outrage his own feelings if he did not express his horror at the murder which he had been asked to commit.
I'm sure you remember being knocked down by the doctor." "I remember a scrimmage there was between us. I don't care what the girl says, she didn't see it. Colligan, I suppose, has given her half-a-crown, and she'd swear anything for that." "Well, you remember the night of the scrimmage?" "I do: Colligan got drunk here one night.
Barry sat up in his bed, rubbed his eyes, and stared at him, but he said nothing. "Mr Lynch," said the parson, "I had better at once explain the circumstances which have induced me to make so very strange a visit." "Confounded strange, I must say! to come up to a man's room in this way, and him in bed!" "Doctor Colligan is downstairs " "D Doctor Colligan! He's at his lies again, I suppose?
"Then, perhaps, doctor, I'd better put it off till to-morrow; I'll tell you why: there's a person I wish " "Why, Mr Lynch, to-day would be better. The fever's periodical, you see, and will be on her again to-morrow " "I beg your pardon, Doctor Colligan," said Barry, of a sudden remembering to be civil, "but you'll take a glass of wine?" "Not a drop, thank ye, of anything."
"Did you, indeed!" answered Barry. "She was my favourite sister, Doctor Colligan that is, I had no other." "I believe not," said Doctor Colligan, looking sympathetic. "Take another glass of wine, doctor? now do," and he poured out another bumper. "Thank'ee, Mr Lynch, thank'ee; not a drop more. And you'll be over in an hour then?
