That was how I knew that you had called your boy after my son." "Yes, Terence has chosen to be a soldier, for some years, at least. There is not very much doing now. After a few years his father thinks he might take to politics." "I want to see him. And I want you to see my girl." She glanced towards the door as though she expected it to open. "Eileen Creagh is with us.

The rest of C and B Companies were still running up to the gap from the support line through the long grass of the nullah, and dropping in their tracks under the constant fire of the redoubt. Chadwick and J.R. Creagh were both in the forefront of the advance, and Chadwick signalled back its hopelessness. His subaltern, Bacon, had been the first to pass the gap, and had been killed on emerging.

He used to like me, but now he does not. He is afraid," a little colour came to her cheek, "that I will marry Terry. He need not be afraid. If Mrs. Wade is my mother I shall not marry Terry.

Lady O'Gara was laughing. Her husband sometimes called her the Laughing Goddess.

He went over and joined the two ladies. "Only just in time!" he said, in rather a loud voice, as he opened the drawing-room door. He intended it as a warning, but it was apparently not necessary. Terry was sitting in a chair at one side of the fireplace with Shot's head on his knee. Miss Creagh, a cloud on her face, was in the opposite chair, caressing Cleopatra. Sir Shawn's heart sank.

The lives and death of both are now well known, and to both we award the title of heroes and Christian martyrs. As it would be too long to present here a complete picture of those events, and trace the biography of many of those who suffered persecution at that time, we content ourselves with two faithful representatives of the classes above mentioned Richard Creagh, Archbishop of Armagh, and Dr.
