Bartle, indeed, ever since he entered into his father's service, had gained rapidly upon Connor's good will, and on one or two occasions well-nigh succeeded in drawing from him a history of the mutual attachment which subsisted between him and Una.
Such, however, is guilt, and such are the terrors that accompany it. The circumstances which, in Ireland, usually follow the conviction of a criminal, are so similar to each other, that we feel it, even in this case, unnecessary to do more than give a mere sketch of Connor's brief life as a culprit.
That was why, twenty-four hours after the offending song was made, it was suppressed; and in the sergeants' mess William Connor told the story how, an hour before, he had met Subadar Goordit Singh in the encampment, and the Subadar in a rage at the grin on Connor's face had made a rush at him, which the Irishman met with his foot, spoiling his wind.
Now, go to bed, in the name of God, and sleep; and may the Lord in heaven support you and support us both! for oh! it's we that want it this night of sorrow!" She then stooped down and affectionately kissed him, and, having wished him good night, she retired to Connor's bed, where, ever since the day of his incarceration, this well-tried mother and enduring Christian slept.
His appearance at any time would have created a tumult in her bosom, but, in addition to this, when she heard that the bees which had rested on Connor's house, had swarmed from her own hive, to use the words of Burns She looked she reddened like the rose, Syne pale as ony lily, and, with a shy but expressive glance at Connor, said, in a low hurried voice, "These belong to me."
I'm afeard, Biddy darlin', that there'll be dark work about it on Connor's side; an' if you hear of anything bad happenin' to the Bodagh, you'll know where it comes from." "I don't b'lieve it, Bartle, nor I won't b'lieve it not, any way, till I hear that it happens. But what is it he intends to do to them?"
But his was the better sense, for he stood waving his hat and shouting 'He's all right, at which Mrs. Mavor grew white; but when she shook hands with him, the red was in her cheek again. 'It was the cable did it, went on Graeme. 'Connor's a great doctor! His first case will make him famous.
You will live, Connor, and you may yet be happy; but he that often held you in his arms that often played with you, and that, next to your father and mother, you loved betther than any other livin' he, poor Nogher, will never see his boy more." On uttering these words, he threw himself again upon Connor's neck, and we are not ashamed to say that their tears flowed together.
Mr Cheney always had a kind word for the laundress, and a tip as well; and when Mrs Connor's dream of seeing him act the part of the Prince and Berene the Cinderella of a modern fairy story, ended in the disappearance of Miss Dumont and the marriage of Mr Cheney to Mabel Lawrence, the unhappy wash-lady mourned unceasingly.
He appeared, however, to have caught a portion of Connor's despondency, for, when about to set out, he said "that he felt his spirits sunk and melancholy; just," he added, "as if some misfortune, Connor, was afore aither or both of us; for my part I'd stake my life that things will go ashanghran one way or other, an' that you'll never call Una O'Brien your wife."
