"I shall endeavor to arrange these evidences in consecutive order. "It is of importance to prove that this cumdach, or reliquary, has been from time immemorial popularly known by the name of Domnach, or, as it is pronounced, Donagh, a word derived from the Latin Dominicus. This fact is proved by a recent popular tale of very great power, by Mr.
The few who remained along with them advanced; and notwithstanding their innocence, when the Donagh was presented and the figure of Christ and the Twelve Apostles displayed in the solemn tracery of its carving, they exhibited symptoms of fear.
It was prime to see them there reddening the sod and the little rain drops falling from the branches of the trees. Hugh: They raised a great cheer for you. Mrs. Ford: Did you say that it was to me they were giving a welcome? Donagh: Indeed it was, mother. Mrs. They are the lively lads to be taking stock of an old woman the like of me driving the roads.
Ford: What's that you say about the ploughs? Agnes: It was they who cheered you on the road. Mrs. Ford: The sight is failing me. Donagh. I can only make out little dark spots against the green of the fields. Donagh: Those are the people, mother. Mrs. Tell me, Donagh, what way is the wind coming? Donagh: It is coming up from the South. Mrs.
This was a death-blow to his own resolution, or, rather it confirmed him in his previous determination not to swear on the Donagh, except to acknowledge his guilt, which he could scarcely prevent himself from doing, such was the vacillating state of mind to winch he felt himself reduced.
It is like a thought that would often stir in a man's mind and find no word to suit it. It is often that I thought that way of you and could speak no word. Agnes: All the same I think I would have an understanding for it, Donagh. Donagh: Ah, Agnes, that is just it. That is what gives me the great comfort in your company. We have a great understanding of each other surely. Ford.
At this moment a silent breeze came over where they stood; and, as the Donagh lay upon the table, the black ribbons with which it was ornamented fluttered with a melancholy appearance, that deepened the sensations of the people into something peculiarly solemn and preternatural. Denis at length revived, and stared wildly and vacantly about him.
When it was finished, a feeble groan broke from his brother's lips. Anthony bent his eye on him with a deadly glare; but Denis saw it not. The shock was beyond his courage, he had become insensible. Those who stood at the outskirts of the crowd, seeing Denis apparently lifeless, thought he must have sworn falsely on the Donagh, and exclaimed, "He's dead! gracious God!
Sudden death, madness, paralysis, self-destruction, or the murder of some one dear to them, are the marks by which perjury upon the Donagh is known and visited. Advance, now, ye who are innocent, but let the guilty withdraw; for we do not desire to witness the terrible vengeance which would attend a false oath upon the Donagh.
Look at the great name your father left behind him in Carrabane. It would be a fine sight for him if he had lived to stand at this door now, looking at the horses bringing the plough over the ground. Donagh: And if he could move about this house, even in his great age. He never got accustomed to the smallness of the hut down at Cussmona.
