What was the use of any anathema when he would only take it away, as a dog does a bone, and enjoy it in a solitary corner? I recovered myself. "Well?" said I, with dignity. "Did Mrs. Connor leave any message?" "I was to give you her compliments, sir, and say she was sorry you were so unwell and she was shocked to hear of Colonel Boyce's sad affliction." This was sheer orderly room.
It's hard upon me to part wid you, Connor, but it can't be helped; I only ax you to remember Nogher, that, you know, loved you as if you wor his own; remimber me, Connor, of an odd time. I never thought oh, Grod, I never thought to see this day! No wondher oh, no wondher that the fair young crature should be pale and worn, an' sick at heart!
"Divil a word worth telling; at laste that I can hear." "I mane from Bodagh Buie's." Bartle stared at him; "Bodagh Buie's! what do I know about Bodagh Buie? are you ravin'?" "Bartle," said Connor, smiling, "my father and mother knows all about it an' about your going to Una with the letter. I have no secrets from them." "Hoot toot!
Bartle rose, and, in a voice wonderfully calm, simply observed, "God knows, Connor, if I know either your heart or mine, you'll be sorry for this treatment you've given me for no rason.
"Apparently so; but I was not in Germany twenty-four hours, and the Herr Chief of the Secret Service was familiar with my cousin's appearance and never doubted he was talking to Karl," answered Miller. "On my arrival here I communicated at once with Chief Connor, giving him the credentials I had brought from the London office.
"Ay, you may say that; it's I indeed that was misfortunate; but it was all through P an' that nest o' robbers, the Isle o' Man." "Don't think of him or it now, my dear father don't be discomposin' your mind about them." Connor and his mother exchanged a melancholy glance; and the latter, who, on witnessing his frame of mind, could not help shedding bitter tears, said to him
This just and sensible view of the matter, on the part of the mother, satisfied Connor, and reconciled him to the father's disinclination to be accompanied by her to the scene of conflict; for, in truth, Fardorougha protested against her assistance with a bitterness which could not easily be accounted for.
Mrs Connor, therefore, felt both pity and sympathy for Miss Dumont, whose position in the Palace she knew to be a difficult one; and when Preston Cheney came upon the scene the romantic mind of the motherly Irishwoman fashioned a future for the young couple which would have done credit to the pen of a Mrs Southworth.
"I would do what I have done for Connor, although I have never yet exchanged a syllable with him. Yet, I do assure you, Fardorougha, that I have other motives which you shall never know far stronger than any connected with the fate of your son. Now, don't misunderstand me." "No," replied the helpless old man, who was ignorant of the condition of his sister, "I will not, indeed I'd be long sarry."
But about sleepin' in to-night coorse I wouldn't be knockin' up my father, and disturbin' my poor mother for no rason; so, of coorse, as I said, I'll sleep in the barn; it makes no difference one way or other." "Connor," said Flanagan, with much solemnity, "if Bodagh Buie's wise, he'll marry you and his daughter as fast as he can." "An' why, Bartle?" "Why, for rasons you know nothin' about.
