Even to the present day Declan's name is borne as their praenomen by hundreds of Waterford men, and, before introduction of the modern practice of christening with foolish foreign names, its use was far more common, as the ancient baptismal registers of Ardmore, Old Parish, and Clashmore attest. On the other hand Declan's name is associated with comparatively few places in the Decies.
I suppose she must have Connie. Nuisance all this gossip about Shotover. Pretty child, Connie best looking of the lot. People say she's like me. Wonderfully pretty child, Connie. That young fellow Decies thinks so too, or I'm very much mistaken. Very much attracted by Connie. Fine young fellow, Decies comfort to hear of Guy from him. Suppose she must go up to Louisa. Gentlemanlike fellow, Decies.
"Ever seen him at Kot Ghazi or Bimariabad?" inquired Colonel Decies. "No," said the Captain, "never seen him anywhere. Why have you?" "Certainly seen him somewhere trying to remember where. I thought perhaps it might have been at the flying-school or at one of the messes. Can't place him at all, but I'll swear I've met him." "Manoeuvres, perhaps," suggested the other, "or 'board ship."
Lord Shotover, will you take me to say good-night to your sister, Lady Louisa?" The young man fairly chuckled. "And you, Mr. Decies, must stay and dance." She smiled upon him very sweetly. "I promise you it will come through all right, for, as Lord Shotover says, whatever his misfortunes may be, Richard Calmady is a gentleman. Ah! I hope you are going to be very happy. Good-bye."
"But that will be much better for me," she answered, with rather humble courtesy, "because then I am more likely to remember my way. I have so much difficulty in knowing my way. I still lose myself sometimes in the park at Whitney. I did once this winter with my brother Guy's friend, Mr. Decies. The boys always tease me about losing my way. Even papa says I have no bump of locality.
"No, no," she said, with a certain vibration in her quiet voice, "you are not to go! You are not to desert her. It would be unworthy, Lord Shotover. You brought Mr. Decies here and so you are mainly responsible for the present situation. And think, just think what it means. All the course of her life will be affected by that which takes place in the next half-hour.
That afternoon Colonel Decies dispatched a cablegram addressed to a Miss Gavestone, Monksmead, Southshire, England, and containing the words, "Have found him, Kot Ghazi, bad accident, doing well, Decies," and by the next mail Lucille, with Aunt Yvette and a maid, left Port Said, having travelled overland to Brindisi and taken passage to Egypt by the Osiris to overtake the liner that had left Tilbury several days before the cable reached Monksmead.
The king and his hosting went to the aid of Leinster in the latter's necessity. Mochuda journeyed on through Muscraige Oirthir the chief of which territory received him with great honour. Next he came into the Decies. Mochuda by the grace of God made peace amongst them, and dismissed them in amity.
Oblations of monasteries are made in a similar way. Probably this signifies no more than that the chief region or monastery put itself under the saint's jurisdiction or rule or both. That there were other churches too than the purely monastic appears from offerings to Mochuda of already existing churches, v.g. from the Clanna Ruadhan in Decies, &c.
Next, Mochuda entered the territory of the Munster Decies where dwelt the Clanna Ruadhain who placed themselves and all their churches under him, and one Colman Mac Cobhthaigh a wealthy magnate of the region donated extensive lands to Mochuda who placed them under devout persons to hold for him. And they took up with them to heaven a silver chair with a golden image thereon.
