And He answered with a main cry: Abba! Adonai! And they beheld Him even Him, ben Bloom Elijah, amid clouds of angels ascend to the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe's in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel. The summer evening had begun to fold the world in its mysterious embrace.
At last, however, Tracey had finished shoeing the coach-horse, and Miss Grant, with part of her luggage, took a seat on the coach behind five of Donohoe's worst horses, next to a well-dressed, powerfully-built man of about five-and-twenty. He looked and talked like a gentleman, and she heard the coachman address him as "Mr. Blake."
Donohoe Bertram, with somewhat of an Irish name and somewhat of an Irish temper, succeeded to the diminished property of Ellangowan. His son Lewis had more prudence than seems usually to have belonged to the family. He nursed what property was yet left to him; for Donohoe's excesses, as well as fines and forfeitures, had made another inroad upon the estate.
She'll be there before we can possibly get down. If no one meets her I wonder if she'll have pluck enough to get into the coach and come on to Donohoe's." "I don't envy her the trip, if she does," said Miss Harriott. "The coach-drive over those roads will seem awful to an English girl." "I'll have to go down at once, anyhow," said Hugh, "and meet her on the road somewhere.
But she looked by no means an unattractive little figure, with her brown eyes and healthy colour showing above the shapeless garments. She came into the little sitting-room laughing at the figure she cut, sat down, and drank scalding tea, and ate Mrs. Donohoe's cakes, while talking with Father Kelly and Blake over the great adventure.
"Well, I'll send the boy to run in the horses. I'll take four horses in the big waggonette; I expect she'll be waiting at Donohoe's that is, if she left the railway-station in the coach if she is at Donohoe's I'll be back before dark." With this he went back to the office, and his mother and Miss Harriott went their separate ways to prepare for the comfort of the heiress.
But the girl turned and put her hand into Blake's, and spoke with the air of a queen. "I am very much obliged to you more than I can tell you. You have saved my life. If ever I can do anything to repay you I will." "Oh, nonsense," said Blake, "that's nothing. It was only a matter of dodging the stumps. You'd better get on now to Donohoe's Hotel, and get Mrs.
Donohoe Bertram, with somewhat of an Irish name, and somewhat of an Irish temper, succeeded to the diminished property of Ellangowan. He turned out of doors the Rev.

Blake seemed so strong directly he caught hold of me I felt quite safe, somehow. If you don't mind, I would like to ask him out to the station." "Certainly, Miss Grant. My mother will only be too glad. She was sorry that we did not get down to meet you. The letter was delayed." Mary Grant laughed as she looked down at Mrs. Donohoe's clothes. "What a sight I am!" she said.
