Donogan now knows whether it will become him to sign this pact with the enemy. If he deem his life worth having at the price, it is well that I should know it. 'It is then of yourself you were thinking all the while. 'Of myself and of him. I do not say I love this man; but I do say his conduct now shall decide if he be worth loving. There's the bell for dinner.
'If my cup of tea were not so good, I should be offended, and leave the room after such a speech. But you do not know, you could not guess, the interesting things that I could tell you, cried she, with an almost breathless rapidity. 'Just imagine that deep statesman, that profound plotter, telling me that they actually did not wish to capture Donogan that they would rather that he should escape!
So far as the evidence of Gill at the trial was concerned, the man's withdrawal was already accomplished, but would Donogan be as ready to restore the lease, and would he, in fact, be as ready to confront the danger of all this interference, as at first? She could scarcely satisfy her mind how she would wish him to act in the contingency!
Here on this strip of paper here are the secret instructions: "To George Dargan, Chief Constable, Letterkenny District. Private and confidential. It is, for many reasons, expedient that the convict Donogan, on a proper understanding that he will not return to Ireland, should be suffered to escape.
"DEAR DICK, I cannot account for the madness that seems to have seized you, except that Dan Donogan, the most rabid dog I know, has bitten you. If so, for Heaven's sake have the piece cut out at once, and use the strongest cautery of common sense, if you know of any one who has a little to spare.

'I think it is Balzac tells us, said Donogan, 'that women and politics are the only two exciting pursuits in life, for you never can tell where either of them will lead you. 'And who is Balzac? asked Kearney. 'Oh, uncle, don't let me hear you ask who is the greatest novelist that ever lived.
"If you think of taking Donogan down with you to Kilgobbin, I ought to tell you that it would be a mistake. Women invariably dislike him, and he would do you no credit." Dick Kearney, who had begun to read this letter aloud, saw himself constrained to continue, and went on boldly, without stop or hesitation, to the last word. 'I am very grateful to you, Mr.
'I could prove it to you, if I had not just sent off the veritable bit of writing by post. Yes, stare and look horrified if you like; it is all true. I stole the piece of paper with the secret directions, and sent it straight to Donogan, under cover to Archibald Casey, Esq., 9 Lower Gardner Street, Dublin. 'How could you have done such a thing? 'Say, how could I have done otherwise.
'So you ought, for you have lost your cause long ago. 'Even that poor Donogan was not spared, and Heaven knows he had troubles enough on his head to have pleaded some pity for him. 'And is there no kind word to say of me, Kate?
