The old creature accordingly threw her cloak about her, and made the best of her way to see her grandchildren, both of whose parents had been swept away by the first deadly ravages of the typhus fever. She had not been long gone, when another tap was given, and Donnel, on opening the door, said "You may come in now; she's off to Shanco.
Sullivan felt surprised at this rencontre, especially at the nature of its singular termination; he seemed, however, to fall into a meditative and gloomy mood, and observed when Dalton had gone "If I ever had any doubt, Donnel, that my poor brother owed his death to a Dalton, I haven't it now." "I don't blame you much for sayin' so," replied Donnel.
"Come, come, no nonsense, Donnel; get along, will you, ha! ha! ha! handsome indeed! Never you mind what the world says well!"
One of my dogs, I fear, is seized with incipient symptoms of hydrophobia, and I wish to dose him to death." "And what hour is this to come for such a purpose?" asked Sol Donnel. "It isn't at midnight that a man comes to me to ask for a dose of poison for a dog."
After having inquired from Hanlon why Donnel Dhu was called the Black Prophet, she asked: "But could he have anything to do with the murdher?"
"Why we can't hut, what was I goin' to say?" replied his companion; "we can't complain ershi mishi! why, then, God help us, it's we that can complain, Donnel, if there was any use in it; but, mavrone, there isn't; so all I can say is, that we're jist mixed middlin', like the praties in a harvest, or hardly that same, indeed, since this woful change that has come on us."

"It's not right two people should run sich risk on our account," said Con, looking towards Sarah; "here's a young woman who has come to nurse, tend and take care of us, for which, may God bless her, and protect her! it's Sarah M'Gowan, Donnel Dhu's daughter."
"But tell me, Donnel; you don't intend, surely, to leave poor Sarah behind us?" "Eh? Sarah?" returned the Prophet. "Ay; bekaise you said so awhile a-gone." "I know I said so awhile ago; but regardin' Sarah, Rody, she's the only livin' thing on this earth that I care about.
"Oh, I see that, acushla, you would a known me if you had: well then, did ye never hear of Sol Donnel, the pilgrim?" "I never did," I replied, "but are we not all pilgrims while here?" "To be sure, aroon, but I'm a pilgrim every place else, you see, as well as here, my darlin' sweet young man." "Then you're a pilgrim by profession?"
"What makes you afeard of poor Donnel, asthore?" asked her mother "a man that wouldn't injure a hair of your head, nor of one belongin' to you, an' never did." "Why, when my father," she returned, "spoke about the coat there, an' just as Donnel started, I looked at it, an' seen it movin', I don't know why, but I got afeard of him."
