But Dermott, hastily emitting a hiss which must have cost him a heartrending effort, relegated the greatly relieved Dolly to the ranks, and smoothed over the situation by "choosing" my daughter, to that young person's undisguised gratification.
Already in these early days of the twentieth the street singers cry out: Mac Dermott, Mallin, Hanrahan, Daly, Colbert and Mac Bride All men who for our country's cause have nobly bled and died. Even Yeats, falling into the tradition, has put in a lyric the names of some of those who died in Easter week, and through whose death "a terrible beauty is born."
I found myself between Standish and Gerald; the former on my right, and the latter, together with the young keeper to whom his shooting education had been entrusted, in the butt on my left. Beyond Standish was Dermott, the crack shot of the party, and beyond Dermott, in number one butt, was the Admiral. The Gilmertons, père et fils, occupied the butts on the extreme left.
"Immediately after mother's illness came the matter of the railroad, and" he hesitated "Dermott McDermott. You see, Katrine, you had stirred something in my nature I never knew before-ambition! That was part, but the desolation that followed your out-going made action necessary. Well, the new railroad was to be constructed through the plantation, and I worked with all the energy I could to forget.
"Thirty years. Dermott has recently been demanding papers of me. It seems there may be some property in America belonging to my first husband which he can claim for me." A premonition of the truth came to Katrine at the sound of Dermott's name. "And your first husband's name?" she inquired. "Will it pain you to tell it?" "Not at all," the Countess answered, with a sad smile.
He knew that, in the long night vigil, part of him had died forever, but with chin well up, like a knight of old, he went, at the sound of the great bell, to battle for the happiness of the woman he loved. When Katrine returned to her apartment after her visit to Dermott, she found Nora, with an excited countenance, waiting for her at the door.
I asked heartily, as though it was the most enjoyable thing in the world; and, without waiting for him to answer: "What's your name?" "Tommy Dermott," he answered. "Glad to make your acquaintance, Tommy Dermott," I went on. "But I'd like to know who said you could ride up with me?" He laughed and said he just thought he'd ride up for the fun of it.
"How about that brace that flew right down the line? You must have seen 'em coming all the way. You didn't even try a shot at them, man!" Dermott, who was fastening up his gaiter, answered rather listlessly "Sorry! It was a misfire, I think." "What?" cried the outraged Admiral. "A misfire? Both barrels of both guns?" I did not hear the answer to this. I was looking at Dolly.
Frank continued to listen, but, although his eyes held keen apprehension and his face was white, he showed a fine courage. "My uncle, her father, was an ardent Roman Catholic," Dermott explained, "a gloomy, overfed, and melancholy man who never forgave his daughter.
Dermott and Downal rode off on their fine horses, the silver bells on their bridles ringing. That night, when he had eaten his supper, the Little Sage told the King's Son where to go. It is forbidden to tell where the King of Ireland's Son found the Builder and Shaper for the Gods.
