Spenser proceeded without heeding a deep flush on Hyacinth's face, which might have warned a wiser man that an explosion was coming. 'If I should then proceed to reason thus: All Nationalists are rebels and potential murderers Mr. Conneally is a Nationalist; therefore Mr. Conneally is a rebel and potential murderer I should, assuming the truth of my minor premise, have arrived at a certainty.
I tell you it isn't on sale here at all, and whatever they publish will do me no harm. When Hyacinth returned to the hotel he found Mr. Holywell seated, with the inevitable whisky-and-water beside him, in the commercial-room. 'Well, Mr. Conneally, he said, 'and how is patriotism paying you? Find people ready to buy what's Irish?
The three boys planned an expedition across the causeway after luncheon. 'We'll carry our shoes and stockings with us, they said, 'and then explore the island. Perhaps there is a hermit there still, or a primitive lake-dweller. What is a primitive lake-dweller, Mr. Conneally? Hyacinth was uncertain, but hazarded a suggestion that the lake-dwellers were the people who buried each other in raths.
It was when he heard the boy repeat a story of Finn MacCool to the old crone in the kitchen that Mr. Conneally awoke to the idea that he must educate his son. He began, naturally enough, with Irish, for it was Irish, and not English, that Hyacinth spoke fluently.
It is not a very great thing in itself just now, but it may improve, and there is always the prospect of picking up other work of the same kind. The Canon, who had never seen even an abstract of one of his own sermons in print, had a proper reverence for the men who guide the world's thought through the press. 'That is very good, Conneally very satisfactory indeed. I always knew you had brains.
I grant you that your priests wouldn't rob us, but but think of the cold of it. You can't realize it, Conneally, but think what it would mean to a Catholic a religion without saints, without absolution, without sacrifice. Besides, what we complain of is not Catholicism. It's a parasitic growth destroying the true faith, defiling the Church.
Hyacinth came to tell of the choice which Canon Beecher offered him, and dwelt with tragic emphasis on his own decision. The priest listened, a smile on his lips, a look of pity which belied the smile in his eyes. 'So you thought Ireland would be lost altogether unless you wrote articles for Miss Goold in the Croppy? It's no small opinion you have of yourself, Hyacinth Conneally.
To Æneas Conneally, growing quietly old, the changes meant very little. The coastguards, being bound by one of the articles of the British Constitution, came to church on Sunday mornings with exemplary regularity, and each man at fixed intervals brought a baby to be christened and a woman to be churched. Otherwise they hardly affected Mr. Conneally's life.
Conneally come along, and tell me all the battles you fought and the Generals you made prisoners of, and how it was you took to preaching afterwards. Hyacinth, somewhat shyly, introduced the priest to Marion. Then a ticket-collector drove them into their carriage and locked the door.
I am most particular in the choice of a curate, and should, of course, prefer a public school and 'Varsity man. I need scarcely say that I refer only to Oxford and Cambridge as the Universities.
