On the next day, Friday, the Commons elected Sir Thomas Cusack speaker, who, in "a right solemn proposition," opened at the bar of the Lords' House the main business of the session the establishment of King Henry's supremacy. To this address Lord Chancellor Allen "well and prudentlie answered;" and the Commons withdrew to their own chamber.
He had heard Captain Cusack was coming over, and had mentally rehearsed several times what it seemed to him would be the most appropriate salutation under the circumstances. But this hope is doomed to be a disappointment, for Pil is in a hurry. "Just going to get the house tubs ready," he says; "I'll be back in time for the mile." "Then is the hurdles over?"
These articles were signed before Limerick, at the well known "Treaty Stone," on the Clare side of the Shannon, by Lord Scravenmore, Generals Mackay, Talmash, and De Ginkle, and the Lords Justices Porter and Coningsby, for King William, and by Sarsfield, Earl of Lucan, Viscount Galmoy, Sir Toby Butler, and Colonels Purcell, Cusack, Dillon, and Brown, for the Irish.
Telson actually forgets Parson, Cusack deserts even his own father in the jubilation of the moment, each striving to get within cheering distance of the heroes of the day as they are carried shoulder-high round the ground amid the shouts and applause of the whole multitude.
Often, as he sat in Davin's rooms in Grantham Street, wondering at his friend's well-made boots that flanked the wall pair by pair and repeating for his friend's simple ear the verses and cadences of others which were the veils of his own longing and dejection, the rude Firbolg mind of his listener had drawn his mind towards it and flung it back again, drawing it by a quiet inbred courtesy of attention or by a quaint turn of old English speech or by the force of its delight in rude bodily skill for Davin had sat at the feet of Michael Cusack, the Gael repelling swiftly and suddenly by a grossness of intelligence or by a bluntness of feeling or by a dull stare of terror in the eyes, the terror of soul of a starving Irish village in which the curfew was still a nightly fear.
On the very afternoon when Pilbury and Cusack had been sitting at the feet of the learned Philpot in the laboratory, Silk, a monitor, had, along with Gilks, of the schoolhouse, a monitor too, gone down to Shellport, against all rules, taking Wyndham junior, one of their special proteges, with them.
Besides Archbishop Browne and Staples, Bishop of Meath, its members were the Chancellor, Read, and the Treasurer, Brabazon, both English, with the Judges Aylmer, Luttrel, Bath, Cusack, and Howth all proselytes, at least in form, to the new opinions.
Was it a friend or an enemy; and if the latter, might it not just as likely be a hoax as not? He examined the disguised writing letter for letter, but failed to recognise in it the hand of any one he knew. He called back Cusack and cross-examined him as to how and when the letter was brought to his study; but Cusack could tell him nothing.
"Oh," said Cusack, not quite as defiantly, however, as he could have wished, "that's a song we sing among ourselves, isn't it, you fellows?" "Ah!" said Riddell, before "the fellows" could chime in, "it's good fun belonging to a musical set especially for songs like this, that appear to have several tunes all sung at once! You should give a concert." The boys looked more perplexed than ever.
"Look here," he said, "we're in quite enough row for one day, without wanting any more. So shut up, you fellows, do you hear?" "Make him apologise, then," said Telson, wrathfully. "Oh, all serene. Nobody was hurting you," said Cusack. "Do you apologise, or do you not?" demanded Telson. "I didn't say I didn't, did I?"
