'Come, come, Donogan, cried she, calling him inadvertently by his name, 'men like you do not give up the battle of life so easily. It is the very essence of their natures to resist pressure and defy defeat. 'So I could; so I am ready to show myself. Give me but hope. There are high paths to be trodden in more than one region of the globe.
Dick looked from her face to her sister's and back again to hers, to discern if he might how much she had overheard; but he could read nothing in her cold and impassive bearing, and he went his way in doubt and confusion. Before Kearney had risen from his bed the next morning, Donogan was in his room, his look elated and his cheek glowing with recent exercise.
I do not know what is wrong here, nor what people would say was right. 'You are aware, then, who he is? 'Of course I am. I was on the terrace that night when your brother told you he was Donogan the famous Fenian Donogan. The secret was not intended for me, but I kept it all the same, and I took an interest in the man from the time I heard it. 'You told him, then, that you knew who he was.
'Do you think he can escape? asked Nina eagerly. 'Who, Donogan? 'Of course Donogan. 'Yes, I suspect he will: these men have popular feeling with them, even amongst many who do not share their opinions. Have you lived long enough amongst us, Nina, to know that we all hate the law? In some shape or other it represents to the Irish mind a tyranny.
'That's not half of it, for they have a story about a woman some woman you met down at Kilgobbin who made you sing rebel songs and take a Fenian pledge, and give your word of honour that Donogan should be let escape. 'Is that all? 'Isn't it enough? A man must be a glutton for tomfoolery if he could not be satisfied with that.
'You are so ungenerous, cried Nina, hurrying after her; 'I am a stranger, and would naturally like to learn all that I could of the country and the people; here is a gentleman full of the very knowledge I am seeking. He knows all about these terrible Fenians. What will they do with Donogan if they take him? 'Transport him for life; they'll not hang him, I think. 'That's worse than hanging.
From the excited air and rapid gestures of the police, as they hurried from place to place, she could guess that up to this Donogan had not been captured. Still, it seemed hopeless that concealment in such a place could be accomplished.
'Give me a cup of tea, then, and I shall be more mannerly, for I am quite exhausted, and I am afraid my temper is not proof against starvation. 'But you will come down to the drawing-room, they are all so eager to see you, said Kate caressingly. 'No; I'll have my tea and go to bed, and I'll dream that Mr. Donogan has been made King of Ireland, and made an offer to share the throne with me.
What warmed the Hartigan ardour, and, indeed, chafed it to a white heat on this occasion, was to see by the public papers that Daniel Donogan had been fixed on by the men of King's County as the popular candidate, and a public meeting held at Kilbeggan to declare that the man who should oppose him at the hustings should be pronounced the enemy of Ireland.
There was something so like reproof in the way these words were uttered that Donogan had not courage to speak for some time after. At last he said, 'In one thing, your Greeks have an immense advantage over us here. In your popular songs you could employ your own language, and deal with your own wrongs in the accents that became them.
