On yet another occasion Declan was in his own region travelling over Slieve Gua in the Decies, when his horse from some cause got lame so that he could proceed no further. Declan however, seeing a herd of deer roaming the mountain close to him, said to one of his people: "Go, and bring me for my chariot one of these deer to replace my horse and take with you this halter for him."
And passing from these less legitimate affairs of the heart in which rumour accredited Richard with being very much of a pluralist her mind traveled back to the young man's projected marriage with Lady Constance Decies, sometime Lady Constance Quayle.
And yet thanks to his equal understanding of the words and deeds of Nurse Beaton, Major Decies, Lieutenant Ochterlonie, his father, the Officers of the Regiment, and the Europeans of the station he had a clear, if unconscious, understanding that what was customary for native servants was neither customary nor possible for Sahibs.... But he knew too much....
That in Declan we have to deal with a very early Christian teacher of the Decies there can be no doubt. If not anterior to Patrick he must have been the latter's cotemporary. Declan however had failed to convert the chieftain of his race and for this reading between the lines of the "Life" we seem to hear Patrick blaming him.
After all, you took your chance when you married Decies, and it has not turned out so badly, you know." Lady Constance became radiant once more, as some mild-shining summer moon emerging from behind temporarily obscuring clouds. "Oh! but then," she said, "of course that was so entirely different." Lord Fallowfeild patted her hand, his head bent, looking at her somewhat merrily.
He would not, and no living man was better qualified to give an opinion on the case of Damocles de Warrenne than the man who was a foster-father to him in childhood, and who brought him into the world in such tragic circumstances. Decies had loved his mother, Lenore de Warrenne. Would he have married her in such circumstances?
We can hardly help speculating why the apostle passing as it were by its front door should have given the go-bye to a region so important as the Munster Decies. Perhaps he sent preachers into it; perhaps there was no special necessity for a formal mission, as the faith had already found entrance. It is a little noteworthy too that we do not find St.
On his sixth birthday, Major John Decies had Damocles over to his bungalow for the day, gave him a box of lead soldiers and a schooner-rigged ship, helped him to embark them and sail them in the bath to foreign parts, trapped a squirrel and let it go again, allowed him to make havoc of his possessions, fired at bottles with his revolver for the boy's delectation, shot a crow or two with a rook-rifle, played an improvised game of fives with a tennis-ball, told him tales, and generally gave up the day to his amusement.
Now, in that island depastured the sheep belonging to the wife of the chieftain of Decies and it is thence that it derives its Irish name Ard-na- Ccaorac, scil.: there was in it a high hill and it was a promontory beautiful to behold. One of the party, ascending the summit of the hill, said to Declan: "How can this little height support your people?"
And outwit my sister Louisa in diplomacy vide our poor, dear Dickie Calmady's broken engagement, and the excellent, scatter-brain Decies' marriage." "But Lady Constance is happy?" Honoria put in hastily. "Blissful, positively blissful, and with twins too! Think of it! Decies is blissful also.
