"I hope so," she replied; "oh, I hope so bring me away!" The Prophet's own adventure was not less disastrous. Rody Duncan's sudden withdrawal from the robbery surprised him very much. On seriously and closely reconsidering the circumstances, it looked suspicious, and ere a single hour had passed, Donnel felt and impression that, on that business at least, Rody had betrayed him.
"If you're wise," replied the young man, "you'll not provoke me now Jerry Sullivan may say what he wishes he's safe, an he knows why; but I warn you, Donnel Dhu, to take no liberty with me; I'll not bear it. "Troth, I don't blame Jerry Sullivan," rejoined the prophet. "Of coorse no man would wish to have a son-in-law hanged. It's in the prophecy that you'll go to the surgeons yet."
"The day was, Donnel," said Sullivan, whilst he pointed, with a sigh, to the unfurnished chimney, "when we could give you as I said awhile agone a betther welcome in one sense I mane betther tratement than we can give you now; but you know the times that is in it, an' you know the down-come we have got, an' that the whole country has got so you must only take the will for the deed now to such as we have you're heartily welcome.
Donnel Dhu, like every prophecy man of his kind a character in Ireland, by the way, that has nearly, if not altogether, disappeared was provided with a set of prophetic declamations suited to particular occasions and circumstances, and these he recited in a voice of high and monotonous recitative, that caused them to fall with a very impressive effect upon the minds and feeling of his audience.
"That's thrue enough," replied Donnel Dhu; "but lavin' him to shift for himself, I'm of opinion that you an' I are likely to get wet jackets before we're much oulder. Ha! Did you see that lightnin'? God presarve us! it was terrible an' ay, there it is the thundher! God be about us, thundher at this hour is very fearful.
I'm now goin' to Donnel M'Cusker's to get it mended. 'What's her name? said the little red woman. 'Biddy Corrigan. The little woman immediately whipped out the heck from her own wheel, and giving it to the boy, desired him to take it to his sister, and never mind Donnel M'Cusker.
I would give a thrifle to be in my own little cabin, an' indeed I'm afeard that I won't be worth the washin' when I get there, if I can go back sich a night as it's goin' to be." "The last few years, Donnel, has brought a grievous change,upon me and mine," replied Sullivan.
Rody looked at the Prophet very keenly, as he thought of the conversation that took place between himself and Charley Hanlon, and which, upon an explanation with Donnel, he had detailed.
Donnel sat down in silence, and the crone saw that he was in no mood for answering questions, or entering into conversation; she accordingly clapped herself on her hunkers, and commenced sucking her dudeen, without at all seeming to expect a reply.
What blood is that upon his face? Father, stand between us!" "Foolish girl!" exclaimed her father, "you don't know what you're sayin'. Of coorse, Donnel, you'll not heed her words for, indeed, she hasn't come to herself yet. But, in God's name, where did this blood come from that's upon you and her?"
