Haven't you more materials for a sensation novel there than any of your three-volume fellows will give you? 'The times we are living in give most of us excitement enough, said Donogan. 'The man who wants to gamble for life itself need not be balked now. 'You mean that a man can take a shot at an emperor? said Kearney inquiringly.
He was profuse of his gratitude for what I had done for him with Walpole, and firmly believed that my intercession alone had saved him; and so I went on to say that the best reparation he could make for his blunder would be some exercise of well-directed activity when occasion should offer. "Suppose, for instance," said I, "you could capture this man Donogan?"
'There can be little doubt Donogan would never have made the sacrifice had he known that I am about to marry Walpole. From this she rambled on to speculate on how far might Donogan's conduct compromise or endanger him with his own party, and if which she thought well probable there was a distinct peril in what he was doing, whether he would have incurred that peril if he really knew the truth, and that it was not herself he was serving.
J.A. Kearney tore down the picture in passion, and stamped upon it; indeed, his indignation with his chum had now passed all bounds of restraint. 'So like him in everything! again burst from him in utter bitterness. Having thus satisfied himself that he had read the incident aright, he returned to the sitting-room, and at once decided that he would leave Donogan to his rest till morning.
There's scores of places there a man could hide in, and never be tracked; and there's few fellows would like to meet Donogan single-handed. He's as active as a rope-dancer, and he's as courageous as the devil. 'It would be a pity to hang such a fellow. 'There's plenty more of the same sort not exactly as good as him, perhaps, for Dan was a gentleman once. 'And is, probably, still?
Seriously, however, I hope they'll not catch poor Donogan; and my father has asked Curtis to come over and dine here, and I trust to a good fire and some old claret to keep him quiet for this evening, at least. We must not molest the police; but there's no great harm done if we mislead them.
'Does he say that they wrote to Donogan? cried Kilgobbin, whose patience had been sorely pushed by the Premier's exordium. 'Let me read on, papa. 'Skip all that, and get down to a simple question and answer, Kitty; don't read the long sentences. 'This is how he winds up, papa.
'I have heard much of his caution this very morning, said Nina superciliously. 'You might have heard far more of his recklessness, if Donogan cared to tell of it, said Kate, with irritation. 'It is not English squadrons and batteries he is called alone to face, he has to meet English gold, that tempts poverty, and English corruption, that begets treachery and betrayal.
Was it a despatch was it in an envelope? 'It was a mere memorandum a piece of post-paper, and headed, "Draught of instruction touching D.D. Forward to chief constable of police at Letterkenny. October 9th." 'But you had no direct correspondence with Donogan? 'I believe, sir, I need not assure you I had not. The malevolence of party has alone the merit of such an imputation.
Do you know, mademoiselle, that this same Donogan was a man of fortune, and in all the society of the first men at Oxford when a mere boy at the time he became a rebel? 'How nice of him! What a fine fellow! 'I'd say what a fool! continued Curtis. 'He had no need to risk his neck to achieve a station, the thing was done for him.
