"Now that we have the blessed light we won't feel the journey at all," Denis Donohoe said to the donkey. The ass drew the creel of turf more briskly, shook his winkers and swished his tail.
This boy's name was, like himself, of the somewhat unexpected order, being Manassas Donohoe. As I came towards the new friends they did not appear to be joking, and on seeing me Miss Buckner said to Lin, "Did he know?" Lin hesitated.
But that gentleman was not without resource; an anonymous letter arrived for Hugh by the mailboy, a dirty, scrawled epistle, unsigned and undated, running as follows: "Mr. Gordon i herd you was gone to summons Michael Donohoe for sheep stealing. You better bewar there is some seen you and that girl in the bush you will get a grate shown up and her two."
"Not much to be seen on this sort of journey, Miss Grant," he said. The young lady looked at him with serious eyes. "No," she said, "we've only seen two houses since we left the town. All the rest of the country seems to be a wilderness." Here the priest broke in. He was a broth of a boy from Maynooth, just the man to handle the Doyle and Donohoe congregation.
The little fellow is growing yet." "He can walk round a freight-car all night," said Miss Buckner, stoutly. "I've always wanted to thank him for looking after me." Mr. McLean smiled elaborately at his plate "Well, if he's not actually thinking he'll tease me!" cried out Jessamine "Though he claims not to be foolish like Mr. Donohoe. Why, Mr. McLean, you surely must have been young once!
He looked beyond all this to the long drab-coloured stretch of road that led to Kiley's, watching for the mailboy's arrival. The mail was late, for the melting snow had flooded the mountain creeks, and Hugh knew it was quite likely that little Patsy Donohoe, the mail-boy, had been blocked at Donohoe's Hotel for two days, unable to cross Kiley's River.
Pat Donohoe was mailman, contractor and driver, and his admirers said that Pat could hit his five horses in more places at once than any other man on the face of the earth.
Deely carefully piloted one of her needles through an intricate turn in the heel of the sock. "Well, I wish you luck, Agnes," Denis Donohoe said at last, and then gave a queer odd little laugh, a little laugh that made Mrs. Deely regard him quickly and seriously. She noticed that he had his eyes fixed on the ground.
He looked at the girl alongside him, and prayed that the old story might never be resurrected. The question whether Mick Donohoe should be prosecuted was not likely to be prejudiced by his claim of kinship. Billy the Bully would as soon prosecute his own brother-in-law as anybody else sooner, in fact.
When he reached the cabin Denis Donohoe dismounted and walked into the kitchen, his eyes bright, his steps so eager that he became conscious of it and pulled up at once. Mrs. Deely was sitting by the fire, her knitting needles busy. Denis Donohoe sat down beside her.
