I will give you an instance, and it will serve to show my implicit confidence in yourself. Now with respect to this man, Donogan, there is nothing we wish less than to take him. To capture means to try to try means to hang him and how much better, or safer, or stronger are we when it is done?
He thinks that you have a love of intrigue and plot, but without the conspirator element that Southern people possess; and that your native courage grows impatient at the delays of mere knavery, and always betrays you. 'That distinction was never his that was your own. 'So it was; but he adopted it when he heard it. 'That is the way the rising politician is educated, cried Donogan.
While the conversation went briskly on, Nina contrived to glance unnoticed at her watch, and saw that it wanted only a quarter of an hour to nine. Nine was the hour she had named to Donogan to be in the garden, and she already trembled at the danger to which she had exposed him.
She had just let her hair fall freely down on her neck and shoulders, and was seated in a deep chair before her fire, as she opened the paper and read, 'Mademoiselle Kostalergi. This beginning, so unlikely for a peasant, made her turn for the name, and she read, in a large full hand, the words 'DANIEL DONOGAN. So complete was her surprise, that to satisfy herself there was no trick or deception, she examined the envelope and the seal, and reflected for some minutes over the mode in which the document had come to her hands.

He laughed merrily over this conceit, and at last Donogan said, 'I've a little kit of clothes something decenter than these up in Thomas Street, No. 13, Mr. Kearney; the old house Lord Edward was shot in, and the safest place in Dublin now, because it is so notorious.
They tore down all Miller's notices and mine, they smashed our booths, beat our voters out of the town, and placed Donogan the rebel Donogan at the head of the poll, and the head-centre is now M.P. for King's County.

The people are in wild excitement, and all declare that they will not let him be taken. Oh! I forgot, added he. 'You were not here when my father and I were called away by the despatch from the police-station, to say that Donogan has been seen at Moate, and is about to hold a meeting on the bog.
Indeed, but for this same man Donogan, I had never thought of it. He filled my head with ideas of a great part to be played and a proud place to be occupied, and that even without high abilities, a man of a strong will, a fixed resolve, and an honest conscience, might at this time do great things for Ireland. 'And then betrayed you?
'Give me a few minutes' attention, said Donogan, 'and I think I'll show you that I've thought this matter out and out; indeed, before I sat down to write to you, I went into all the details.
'For the papers, or the correspondence, or whatever they called it, that passed between Danesbury and Dan Donogan. 'But there was none. 'Is that all you know of it? They were as thick as two thieves.
