'The Greek girl' began Dick haughtily, and with a manner that betokened rebuke, and which suddenly changed as he saw that nothing in the other's manner gave any indication of intended freedom or insolence 'The Greek is my first cousin, Mr. Donogan, said he calmly; 'but I am anxious to know how you have heard of her, or indeed of any of us. 'From Joe Joe Atlee!
A friendship of early life, when both these young men were college students, had overcome such scruples, and Donogan had been permitted to have many letters marked simply with a D., which were sent under cover to Maher.
A large black leather pocket-book fell from a pocket of the coat, and, in replacing it, Dick perceived it was filled with letters. On one of these, as he closed the clasp, he read the name, 'Mr. Daniel Donogan, Dartmouth Gaol. 'What! cried he, 'is this the great head-centre, Donogan, I have read so much of? and how is he here?
Through his brother, himself a Fenian, this man has heard that a secret committee will meet at this place on Monday evening next, at which Donogan will be present. Molloy, another head-centre, will also be there, and Cummings, who escaped from Carrickfergus." I took down all the names, Kate, the moment we parted, and while they were fresh in my memory.
'There's law for you! cried the old man again. 'You'll have to take to vigilance committees, like the Yankees, said the major. 'We've had them for years; but they only shoot their political opponents. 'They say, too, broke in the young man, 'that Donogan is in the town, and that it is he who has organised the whole prosecution.
The indiscretion was a grave one; in fact, there was nothing even to expulsion itself might not have followed on discovery. 'So like him! so like him! was all he could mutter, as he arose and walked about the room. While he thus mused, he turned into Atlee's bedroom, and at once it appeared why Mr. Donogan had been accommodated in his room.
Slight as the action was, it appealed to that Southern intelligence that reads a sign even faster than a word. Nina saw that the woman meant to say Donogan had escaped, and once more she said, 'Thank you from my heart I thank you! Just as she emerged upon the highroad, her pony and carriage came up.
Harper and Fry were tanners, in Cork Street, and theirs was one of the addresses by which, if I had occasion to warn Donogan, I could write to him. On hearing these names from Curtis, it struck me that there might be treachery somewhere. Was it that these men themselves had turned traitors to the cause? or had another betrayed them?
He had not left me long, when your late steward, Gill, came up with several policemen, to search for the convict Donogan. They had a warrant to apprehend him, and some information as to where he had been housed and sheltered. 'Here with us? 'Here with you! Gill knew it all.
'Is it true they have captured Donogan? said Nina, coming hurriedly into the library, where Walpole was busily engaged with his correspondence, and sat before a table covered not only with official documents, but a number of printed placards and handbills.
